Opheliac Lyrics
I’m your Opheliac
I’ve been so disillusioned I know you’d take me back But still I feign confusion I couldn’t be your friend My world was to unstable You might have seen the end But you were never able To keep me breathing As the water rises up again Before I slip away You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way You know the lies I tell when you’ve gone through hell and I say I can’t stay You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me When everything and everyone becomes my enemy And when there’s nothing more you can do I’m gona blame it on you It’s not the way I wana be I only know that in the end you will see it’s the Opheliac in me… It’s the Opheliac in me… Im your Opheliac My stalkings prove my virtue I’m open to attack But I don’t want to hurt you (hurt you) Whether I swim or sink That’s no concern of yours now How could you possibly think You had the power to know how to keep me breathing as the water rises up again Before I slip away You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way You know the lies I tell when you’ve gone through hell and I say I can’t stay You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me When everything and everyone becomes my enemy And when there’s nothing more you can do I’m gona blame it on you It’s not the way I wana be I only hope that in the end you will see it’s the Opheliac in me… It’s the Opheliac in me Studies show intelligent girls are more depressed Because they know That the world can lie I don’t think for a bit they sit around and think every things gona be alright They know who: sides, shadows; shapes, a devil, an angel; no in-between She speaks in third person so that she can forget that she’s me Doubt thou the stars on fire Doubt thou the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt Doubt thou the stars on fire Doubt thou the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt Doubt thou the stars on fire Doubt thou the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way You know the lies I tell when you’ve gone through hell and I say I cant stay You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me When everything and everyone becomes my enemy And when there’s nothing more you can do I’m gona blame it on you It’s not the way I wana be I only hope that in the end you will see But never doubt You know the games I play and the words I say when I want my own way You know the lies I tell when you’ve gone through hell and I say I can’t stay You know how hard it can be to keep believing in me When everything and everyone becomes my enemy And when there’s nothing more you can do I’m gona blame it on you It’s not the way I wana be I only hope that in the end you will see |

Maybe i'm just a guy here, but when i hear these words it all just sounds like "i'm a liar, and i'm a manipulator, and i will blame everything on you, and i know this and consciously do it, even though i CLAIM to not want to, and maybe you'll just understand it's cause i'm a crazy girl"
This type of attitude seems rampant in society these days. I'll self diagnose my faults with fancy terminology (in this case a Shakespearean allusion) but feel no responsibility to change that, for i've owned up it, yet cast it aside because it's "who i am"....I'll tell you them in advance, but it will change nothing, because i will do it anyway, and shame on you for believing i might just not, you silly male. Haha, now watch me do it. Poor you and your heart which was so easy to break anyway. Watch me do that too. Tra la la....i'm just a girl, can't fault me for that.
If this is your theme song, i have pity on you. Owning up to hurtful behavior is not a get out of jail free card for playing fast and loose with people. Being attractive and intelligent is not carte blanche for whatever irresponsible nonsense you feel justification for in the face of a world that appears to have no grey area for you to exist in. If you intelligent girls are so depressed by reality, get about the intelligent task of realizing you and only you control your mental quality of life. You want what you want when you want it? Well, sorry but that reality you claim to "recognize" and are so depressed by doesn't allow for that. But you'll get it anyway, right? Or at least lie and put up facades to get it.
Attack it. Call me out. It's fine, i expect it, but with all the gushing over this song, i felt a serious reappraisal of its implications was in order. Again, i like this song, and Emilie, but lets get real here, this is no fist raising anthem for a generation of girls to identify with,...and i have a hope somewhere that Emilie herself might agree with that sentiment, if only slightly, or at least be able to understand what i mean.
But then again, who am i? Maybe i'm just reading it all wrong.

The irresponsibility people have for their own actions these days is appalling. Perhaps she's being sarcastic (doubtful) but its when people start identifying with this, draping its meaning across themselves proudly that leaves me flabbergasted.
All instances of "you" are in the general sense, Matt. I wasn't meaning you specifically.

I am very serious about dance although inherently clumsy
In dance it is important to see the body (how muscles move, how limbs align),
therefor I have on occasion worn tights,(this displayed my dedication to the art)
or
"My stocking prove my virtue"
