Lady Luck
Mr Little Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me nothing daughter
Here come the queen of the night
Helps herself to what she likes
Power of the poison
Standing by her lonesome
She begged and got what she took
Turn your head round
Just like a boomerang
It will come back around
What might seem easy ain't so breezy
And when you're out of luck
No one will pick you up
And when you're under
Then you'll wonder
Aah
Batting of the lashes
Gold dust into ashes
She said what's there to see
Oh sun I'm all ready
Turn your head round
Ripple in the water
Tell me nothing daughter
Here come the queen of the night
Helps herself to what she likes
Lady's a believer of luck
Lady's a believer of luck
Bats an eye and pulls your leg
Never asks before she takes
Baby's got the silver-spoon stuck
Ripple in the water
Tell me nothing daughter
Here come the queen of the night
Helps herself to what she likes
The lyrics of "Lady Luck" by Mr Little Jeans portray a woman who seems to have everything she wants, no matter the cost. The first stanza describes her as the "queen of the night" who takes what she likes, and the power of her poison reflects the toxic behavior and mentality that the character holds. Her loneliness is also emphasized in this stanza, suggesting that her actions may stem from feeling unsatisfied or unfulfilled, causing her to take what she wants to fill a void.
The chorus of the song warns that what may seem easy at first may not be so easy in the long run. The boomerang imagery emphasizes that actions have consequences. If you're out of luck and in a tough spot, no one will come to your aid, and you'll be left to struggle on your own. These lines suggest that the woman's luck may eventually run out, and she'll be left to face the consequences of her actions, no matter how lucky she may have been in the past.
The last verse describes the woman as a believer in luck who never asks before taking what she wants. She has a sense of entitlement and a silver-spoon mentality indicated in her sense of privilege, which further emphasizes her selfishness. Overall, the lyrics of "Lady Luck" suggest that toxic behavior and an attitude of entitlement and selfishness can only bring temporary satisfaction and may potentially lead to long-term consequences.
