I Look At her In That Paper Dress.
I Wonder Why She Won't Burn.
She's Just A Paper Doll, Thats All, Just A Paper Doll.
I Dress Her Up She Knocks Me down (2x)
They Try Her On For Size, she Fits Nice.
One Size Fits All (2x)
Now Her Soul Is Dead, Now Her Bodies Raw, You Can Numb Her Pain
Watch The Blood Run Down Her Face.
But Dont Take Notice.
Watch The Blood Run Down Her Arms.
Please Don't Take Notice.
I Know You Have Her Soul.
(and) I See It In Your Eyes.
She Knows You Have Her Soul.
(and) She Sees It In Your Eyes.
Now Her Soul Is Dead, Now Her Bodies Raw, WASH AWAY HER PAIN
She Wants You To Eat Her Pain.
She Wants You To Eat Her Remains (2x)
I Wonder Why She Won't Burn.
She's Just A Paper Doll, Thats All, Just A Paper Doll.
I Dress Her Up She Knocks Me down (2x)
They Try Her On For Size, she Fits Nice.
One Size Fits All (2x)
Now Her Soul Is Dead, Now Her Bodies Raw, You Can Numb Her Pain
Watch The Blood Run Down Her Face.
But Dont Take Notice.
Watch The Blood Run Down Her Arms.
Please Don't Take Notice.
I Know You Have Her Soul.
(and) I See It In Your Eyes.
She Knows You Have Her Soul.
(and) She Sees It In Your Eyes.
Now Her Soul Is Dead, Now Her Bodies Raw, WASH AWAY HER PAIN
She Wants You To Eat Her Pain.
She Wants You To Eat Her Remains (2x)

"I look at her in that paper dress / I wonder why she won't burn"
"She's just a paperdoll, that's all / Just a paperdoll"
---
My new revelation about Kittie's 'paper doll' concept is that it refers to a girl who's very fragile (self-esteem or otherwise). A paper doll can be ripped apart really easily. 'I wonder why she won't burn' could mean they don't understand why the slut's not broken by her destructive behavior because she's so fragile.
"I dress her up, she knocks me down"
---
This could mean that the writer tries to change the slut and make her see that her behavior isn't healthy, but the slut knocks her down every time and the she won't heed any warnings.
"They try her on for size, she fits nice / one size fits all"
---
Since Morgan claimed it was about a slut, this part should be pretty obvious. All the men keep fucking her and they all like it.
"Now her soul's dead / now her body's raw / you can numb her pain"
---
The slut is destroying her soul BECAUSE she's a slut and her body's raw 'cause she's been fucked so much. But you can numb her pain somehow, maybe by fucking her again or showing her you truly care.
OR ~ maybe the slut has finally met her fate of being raw or used up, and because she didn't heed the warnings she's in a huge amount of pain.
"Watch the blood run down her face / but don't take notice"
"And watch the blood run down her arms / please don't take notice"
---
Now this is where I have problems interpreting this thing, lol. The blood running definitely says to me the slut is experiencing pain, but why not take notice? Maybe that's how she became a slut in the first place; she's lacking true, healthy male affection and she wants to please as many men as possible. But again, why instruct the listener to not take notice?
OR ~ maybe the writer is instructing the SLUT not to notice because she didn't heed any warnings about the danger she was putting herself in by being the way she is. In "Do You THiNK i'M a WHoRe?" Morgan sings, "Like you / warned me" (I think) and we all know that song is about a whore.
"I know you have her soul / and I see it in your eyes"
"She knows you have her soul / and she sees it in your eyes"
---
This totally stumps me. I'm guessing it could be something along the lines of the slut losing her soul because she's lost her "virginity" so many times. Maybe she's given away so much sex that she's, in fact, given away her soul. The men that have the slut's soul probably look at her a certain way too, figuratively and literally (hence, "see it in your eyes").
"Now her soul's dead / now her body's raw / wash away her pain"
---
Again, the slut is dealing with the pain of BEING a slut and she doesn't necessarily want it and it's becoming too much (hence, wash it away).
OR ~ like I said before, the slut didn't heed any warnings about her destructive nature and now she's paying the price and learning the hard way.
"She wants you to eat her pain, she wants you to eat her remains"
---
This part is stumping me too. Maybe the slut wants someone to get rid of all of her, physically and emotionally. Remember in "RaVeN" how Morgan sings, "kill me now and burn my soul..." This implied to me that she wanted all traces of herself destroyed. Maybe it's the same thing here, I dunno, lol.
"Paperdoll" is a complicated song, really. I'd love to interview Kittie someday and ask them about it, hahaha.
I agree!
'I Wonder Why She Won't Burn.' This is one sign of self harm and I believe the person in the song wants to leave her personal hatred behind her by burning themselves.
'She's Just A Paper Doll, Thats All, Just A Paper Doll.
I Dress Her Up She Knocks Me down ' - I believe people knock her down because she is different from everyone else.
'Now Her Soul Is Dead, Now Her Bodies Raw, You Can Numb Her Pain' - When the girls body is raw and she is numbing her pain I believe she is self harming again as this is her only way to feel like she is a person again and also the only way she can express herself.
'Watch The Blood Run Down Her Face.
But Dont Take Notice.' - Her self harm is getting too serious so she wants to hid any visible burns, scars, cuts or wounds.
The girl in this song also gives me the impression she wants to be saved but somehow there's no one around to take her pain away.
How obvious can that be?
