I look so cute without the e
I see your face in front of me
Let me see your smile

I got a secret, can you keep it?
Can you keep it?
I got a secret, can you keep it?
Can you keep it?

I dont wanna hear your tell a soul
I know your lips are starting to get cold
Please ignore all the blood on the floor
The blade whispers when you don′t leave it alone

It cuts so deep
Save me
It cuts so deep
Save me
It cuts so deep
When you don't really know
What you know, or what you don′t
Let's cut let it show
Let's cut let me know
It cuts so deep
When you don′t really know
What you know, or what you don′t
Let's cut let it show
Let′s cut let me know
It cuts so deep

I got a secret, can you keep it?
Can you keep it?
I got a secret, can you keep it?
Can you keep it?

When you don't really know
What you know, or what you don′t
Let it show, let it show
Let me cut, let me know
When you don't really know
What you know, or what you don′t
Let it show, let it go
Let it cut, let it slow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Plastic Dagger's "Cute Without the E" are quite dark and mysterious, and could be interpreted in a number of ways. Upon first listen, it may seem like the song is about someone who feels they look better without a certain letter in their name ("I look so cute without the e"), but upon further inspection, it becomes clear that there is more to the lyrics.

The line "I see your face in front of me, let me see your smile" seems to suggest that the singer of the song is speaking to someone specific, perhaps a lover or friend. The next line, "I got a secret, can you keep it?" implies that the person has information that they don't want to share with anyone else. This is repeated multiple times throughout the song, further emphasizing the idea that something is being hidden.

As the song progresses, the darkness of the lyrics become more apparent. The line "Please ignore all the blood on the floor, the blade whispers when you don't leave it alone" creates a terrifying image, and implies that the singer may have harmed themselves or someone else with a knife. The repetition of "It cuts so deep, save me" adds to this idea, as it seems like the singer is begging for help.

Ultimately, the meaning of the song is left up to interpretation. It could be seen as a commentary on mental illness or self-harm, or perhaps a warning against the dangers of keeping secrets. Whatever the case may be, "Cute Without the E" is a haunting and thought-provoking song that will stick with the listener long after it's over.
