The Distillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im on your doorstep man
Ringin your bell again, Ringing your bell again
Im sorry Gerti Rouge, all that you're through
Looking for love that never stabbed your heart
and probably never will
Its a lie when you are telling the truth
Spread your legs then get down on your knees
And pray it never happens again
Well here i am on your doorstep again
I let the winds of time pass through my life
Maybe theres an end
who the fuck protects you
who the fuck is going to resurrect you
It's a sorrowed truth, the truth is not a lie
Come on up baby
Don't go and burn in the fire
The song "Young Girl" by The Distillers explores the themes of love, loss and vulnerability. The opening line "We were young girls, in a small world" sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer reminiscing about a time when things were simpler and easier. However, the following lines quickly establish the fact that things have changed and the singer is now on the doorstep of someone who may have either hurt her in the past or someone whom she has been hurt by.
The chorus is particularly poignant as the lyrics "It's a lie when you are telling the truth, It's the truth when you are selling a lie" is a powerful reminder of the contradictions and complexities of relationships. The line "Spread your legs then get down on your knees, And pray it never happens again" is a brutal indictment of the vulnerability that comes with trusting someone else with your heart.
The second verse sees the singer acknowledging the passing of time and the fact that life has moved on. The line "Maybe there's an end" suggests a hint of acceptance of whatever fate might bring. However, the final lines of the song "Don't go and burn in the fire" convey a sense of warning and caution to the listener; implying that despite the pain of loss and betrayal, it is imperative to keep moving forward and not be consumed by the flames of bitterness and anger.
Overall, "Young Girl" is a powerful reminder of the pain that comes with love and the importance of being vigilant in protecting one's heart.
Line by Line Meaning
We were young girls, in a small world
We were naive and innocent, unaware of the big world out there
Im on your doorstep man
I'm back at your doorstep
Ringin your bell again, Ringing your bell again
Asking for your attention once more
Im sorry Gerti Rouge, all that you're through
I empathize with your struggles, Gerti Rouge
Looking for love that never stabbed your heart
Searching for genuine love that won't cause heartache
and probably never will
But it may be impossible to find
Its a lie when you are telling the truth
People may not believe you even when you're honest
Its the truth when you are selling a lie
People may accept your deception as truth
Spread your legs then get down on your knees
Giving in to someone's demands for sex and submission
And pray it never happens again
Hoping to avoid future harm and mistreatment
Well here i am on your doorstep again
I've returned to your doorstep once more
I let the winds of time pass through my life
I've let time pass without making the most of it
Maybe theres an end
Perhaps there's a resolution to my struggles
who the fuck protects you
Who's looking out for you?
who the fuck is going to resurrect you
Who's going to revive and save you?
It's a sorrowed truth, the truth is not a lie
Accepting the painful reality, even if it's hard to believe
Come on up baby
Join me and rise above it all
Don't go and burn in the fire
Don't let your struggles consume you
