The first thing to note about Sky Ferreira & Ariel Pink's song "My Molly" is the title itself, which refers to the drug MDMA or ecstasy, commonly referred to as "Molly." The repetitive lyrics in the song suggest an ecstatic state induced by the drug. The song's chorus – "Earth shaking, body quaking, hair waving, my molly" – evokes the physical sensations of being under the influence, particularly the euphoric sensations and increased sensitivity to touch.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the pleasure and sensuality experienced by the user of the drug, often referred to as "rolling" in popular culture. The hands holding and bust bulging lines suggest a sexual experience between the two people, who are presumably taking the drug together. The line "ass flaming, heart breaking, soul taking, my molly" speaks to the physical and emotional intensity of the experience, while "love sowing" may suggest a deeper emotional connection between the two people.
Despite the pleasure they experience while on the drug, the song also acknowledges the potential danger and risk involved. The line "heart breaking, soul taking" could allude to the physical and emotional risks of using drugs, while "if I can't make it true, then take my heart" suggests a willingness to give up anything for the experience, even one's own life.

Sky should do a whole album like this. The vocals in the chorus sound like an instrument, very distinctive to Sky. Separates her from other pop singers in the best way.
Sylvia Black
one of the songs you can come back for, years later <3
Yung blade
Possibly one of the greatest alternative songs ever lol
Jorge Alarcón
I agree

I haven't found a song that I've loved so much on a first listen like this song, since I found Crystal Castles last year.

Ariel Pink´s Haunted Graffitis, DIIV and Sky Ferreira were amazing at Festival Nrmal 2013, I am so glad to saw them live and enjoying the styles on the music
adamk
Ariel, please get lots of other artists to record your old stuff and release a remix album. please oh please, this is awesome

Fantastic!! deserves to be a BIG HIT
Kasia Wójcik
I love this song, I actually listened to it about hundred times. Good video. Many THANKS! :)
Tyler Lethersin
I really want this so I can buy it & have it forever! Hopefully Ariel or sky ends up releasing it. It sounds more like she would release it because it doesn't really have the vintage low-fi sound Ariel is known for. God it's just such a good cover / remix of the song & I will always love it💖
