In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me, of me

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

Pick a personality for free
When you feel like nobody, body

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

Back to zero, here we go again, again
Racing down into oblivion
Back to zero, here we go
I can feel it coming to the end
The end

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

    General Comment:If you read the book or watch the movie, or even read a review on it, you'll understand. Generally, the story is about three girls in new york, one wanting a new life away from her small town home, one a model who is earning money for her poverty-ridden family, the other a singer who is trying to make it big. The "Valley of the Dolls" is the art business. Modeling, singing, acting, writing, et cetera. The movie shows how tragic and unfair the business is, especially for people with real talent. "Dying like a shooting star, in the valley" is pretty much saying she wants to leave the legacy of fame and fortune, living her life in this horrible yet rewarding setting of the Valley of the Dolls, aka, music business.

    My Interpretation:My first thought was this is her talking about returning to Wales (the valleys) and back to zero (growing up in Wales).

    General Comment:It's about the book Valley of the Dolls, but whenever I hear this I automatically think about that TV Show "Dollhouse."
