So I though it would be cool to do a little behind the lyrics. I always enjoy hearing the origins of a song...why they wrote it, who inspired it, why now....etc Unfortunately I lack the ability to write songs that I cant directly relate to. Right now, I cant think of an idea - lets just say pirates... and write a song around it. I dont know much about pirates so writing a song about them would feel very unnatural and be very difficult for me. So I write songs based on experiences in my life and the people in it. So here is Sweet Suicides first behind the lyrics. This song is called Porcelain Crown and its one of our newest songs. This song is inspired by my relationship with my grandparents. Growing up I was the center of their world and I was put on an unrealistic pedestal. Their expectations of me were very high and lets just say Ive turned out to be less than what they wanted me to be. Although Im a (pretty) good person with a good head on my shoulders and regardless of being in a metal band, having tattoos and not believing in God I still have values and morals. Its simply not enough for them. I am their biggest disappointment. In their eyes I might as well be a junkie with 10 kids that have been taken away and pregnant with my 11th. Or at least thats how they have made me feel. So this song came about after a long talk (and cry) with my sister. And after two attempts to visit them - knocking on their door, leaving notes and countless phone calls that went to voicemail. I couldnt talk to them so this happened..... Porcelain Crown I can see in your eyes your mad at me. The disappointing stares wont set me free. The words you say cut like a knife. Im sorry If I ever let you down. I never meant to break that porcelain crown. Take away all that you gave.... -Your world fell around you The day you met me A life time of regret Blame it on me.... What do you see, When you look at me? Do I remind you of someone Ill never be? A life thats out of reach? A little girl that use to be? Take it all out on me.... The tattoos on my skin wont go away. Is that what makes you feel so ashamed? Im sorry that you feel that way. Look into my eyes and you will see. Im everything you wanted me to be. The person inside hasnt changed. -Your world fell around you The day you met me Life time of regret Blame it on me What do you see, When you look at me? Do I remind you of a someone Ill never be? A life thats out of reach? A little girl that use to be? Take it all out on me.... All I ever wanted was you love Now I just want to be free of The guilt I carry everyday -Your world fell around you The day you met me Life time of regret Blame it on me X2-What do you see, When you look at me? Do I remind you of someone Ill never be? A life thats out of reach? A little girl that use to be? Take it all out on me....
