Girl
Vanilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
It's clear to me
That things aren't working out
We've come so far
But still you're in doubt

Since the start
You knew that I'm no innocent girl
Cause in my heart
There's something burning
A voice that's yearning
For so much more

Bad girls - always on the run
Playing their game,
Leaving ruins behind
Bad girls - breaking the rules
Smile in your face
While stealing your jewels

Face it - I just wanna be free
Feel sorry for you if you can't see
I'm just living my life - bad girl style

So you say
That I don't give a damn about you
The price I pay
For staying true to who I am

Don't wanna leave
So don't make leaving
All that's left for me
Just let me breathe
Cause there's something burning
A voice that's yearning inside of me

Bad girls - always on the run
Playing their game, leaving ruins behind
Bad girls - breaking the rules
Smile in your face while stealing your jewels

Face it - I just wanna be free
Feel sorry for you if you can't see
That I'm just living my life - bad girl style

Don't try to lock me in a golden cage
I'm not a doll
That you can show around
And I won't hesitate to turn the page
One... two... three... four... Let's go!

Bad girls - always on the run
Playing their game, leaving ruins behind
Bad girls - breaking the rules
Smile in your face
While stealing your jewels

Face it - I just wanna be free




Feel sorry for you if you can't see
That I'm just living my life - bad girl style

Overall Meaning

The song "Girl" by German singer Vanilla is a bold ode to female empowerment and individuality. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been in a romantic relationship with someone who does not understand her desire for independence and freedom. While the other person is in doubt about their relationship's future, she is certain about who she is and what she wants. She describes herself as no innocent girl, with something burning inside her - a voice that yearns for so much more.


The chorus of the song, "Bad girls – always on the run, playing their game, leaving ruins behind, bad girls – breaking the rules, smile in your face while stealing your jewels" celebrates the singer's rebellious and independent spirit. She isn't afraid to break the rules or do things her own way, with the confidence of someone who knows she can handle the consequences. Although the other person accuses her of not caring about them, Vanilla suggests that staying true to herself is worth the price of losing this person from her life.


The bridge of the song brings a strong message about not being controlled or trapped in a golden cage. She is not just for show, and she will not hesitate to turn a new page. In the final chorus, the singer's enthusiasm for living her life on her own terms is palpable, and she invites listeners to join her in doing the same.


Overall, "Girl" by Vanilla is an empowering song for women who celebrate their strength, independence and freedom. It encourages women to embrace their inner bad girl, define themselves on their own terms, and not apologize for living life on their own terms.

A day of a vanilla girl cannot be complete without a visit to One Day Coffee in Tai Hang! The new cafe simply screams “vanilla” in its all-white ambience. That’s where I got myself into that vanilla girl mood ☺️!

emmcatt

love that you matched your vanilla people outfits 😆those miffy marshmallows were so cute!! happy lunar new year!

Nasamani Thorne

Unlike the figurative meaning of a Vanilla Girl, you are extraordinary and extra special, loved this video, happy lunar year to you both, love from London ❤

I don’t mind this look -In my opinion - Lol 😂 . I think it sets a nice base in which you can add color through art and accessories as you wish - either seasonally or monthly depending on your mood etc.
Beiges, Taupes and Winter white - more in the cream family- represented “Wealthy” couture -at least in the NY area. I, personally, look best in blacks and taupes, however I do admire this clean style. I think you can pull this off best in the Spring and Summer months or in warmer climates like in LA or Greece. It’s very refreshing. I had no idea it was a trend - I guess I am out of the “Global” loop Lol! I just love you both! Keep bringing it on! 🥰🌟. Sending Warm wishes for a Happy Lunar New Year! ❤

Sometimes I think shopkeepers in luxury stores must take a class how to wrap merchandise with perfection. I just discovered the Byredo perfume line. My jaw dropped at the price so I bought the rollerball. My favorite scent is Mojave Ghost and Bal D’Afrique. Unlike Jo Malone Byredo really last throughout the day. I never heard of the term Vanilla Girl before. Many people in the comment section seem to dislike it.

The white rabbit candy milk idea is totally cute 🥰

I love the aethetics of your home. Will be visiting HK (finally) at the end of February. Is it already summer there by that time? Hoping we could still feel the breeze of cold air when we visit
