Mandy
The Derevolutions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's only, it's only, it's only a time
Are you searching for a different life?
Oh yeah
Were you hoping, you hoping for another kind?
Dear Mandy, please help me carry you
She's got Jesus on the mind
She's the sweetest thing alive
when she wrapped around a chain.
She's Mandy
with her sandals made of gold
She looked like she'd never age
but she fell out of her life
ended taking her own knife.
She was my suicide wife,
she was my suicide wife.
She locked herself up tight
with a medical knife
She was my suicide wife,
a victim of life
She was my suicide wife,
she locked herself up tight
with a medical knife.
She's a suicide wife.
The lyrics to The Derevolutions' song Mandy are a mix of melancholy and religious hope. The singer seems to be addressing someone, perhaps Mandy, who is in a difficult situation - searching for a different life and perhaps hoping for something better. The singer acknowledges that it's okay to only have hope for a little while, but also asks for help in carrying the weight of whatever burden Mandy is facing.
The lyrics also paint a picture of a woman named Mandy who is described as sweet and seemingly ageless with her "sandals made of gold". However, the mood shifts drastically when the singer reveals that Mandy ended up taking her own life with a medical knife. She becomes a tragic figure, referred to as the singer's "suicide wife". The use of the term "suicide wife" is both haunting and emotionally charged, indicating that the singer may have had a deep emotional connection with Mandy. The lyrics overall seem to be grappling with the sadness and loss that comes with suicide, while also holding onto the hope that perhaps Mandy has found peace in the afterlife.
