ophelia - drowning lyrics

verse 1:(virginity)
dear diary, how are you doing today
good? me? oh i’m kinda grey
laertes gave me a speech and
you wanna know what he had to say?
keep your legs closed, go to bed earlier and pray
as a girl, i’m only worth as much as my chast-ty
and being with hamlet? yeah that’s a fantasy
how am i going to marry with a popped cherry
and when all of my decisions are involuntary
and the worst part? i know how much my brother sleeps around
these double standards are drilling me into the ground
how can he be looking for my best interests when he’s doing the opposite and hanging out with his b-tches
it’s not much better with dad too
there’s nowhere to turn, so i go home and i write you
after laertes left, dad asked me whats up
i told him hamlet loved me but dad tried to block that bluff
he’s like sorry its rough but that’s enough
he wants you for your s-x and he isn’t even that buff, ok?
i kept my mouth shut, how could i not obey?
and well… that was my day

verse 2:(boy troubles)
hey, it’s me, today was interesting
i visited hamlet, and the experience was sickening
it’s crazy because i can feel my happiness diminishing
and my thoughts, i don’t know what order to put them in
it’s like he suddenly snapped, like a rich man stripped of his luxury
he started yelling and cursing, told me to go to a nunnery
said all these vile things, i couldn’t believe what i was hearing
my heart left bleeding; his love he was repealing
he said the if i ever got married, i’d turn my husband into a beast
looking for a priest until dead and deceased
what was i to do, the pain in my chest swelling
the idea of running seemed compelling
i couldn’t talk back, he was the prince
and i, a woman, to him, nothing but some t-ts
is this my fault, was brother right all along
was my hope just there to prolong him moving on
am i a sinner, am i a thief
did i rob his mind, tumbling like a leaf
what do i do, what do i say?
anyways… that was my day

verse 3: (insane)
isn’t it crazy that i’m valued by my virginity
and that happens after a man likes my femininity
and then what am i to do
accept my fate submissively, like i want to do this willingly
i hate this stupidity
oh here’s a story i read:
before having s-x a girl said
you gotta promise that after this we’ll be wed
he said yes, but it appeared she’d been misled
because after he said, i would if you didn’t get in that bed
that was hamlet, he loved me then he didn’t
god it feels like in stuck in a prison
it’s like all men want is s-x, and we’re there to be used
i love that we’re here just to be abused
i don’t know what to do, and i don’t think i can win
here’s an idea, i think i’ll go for a swim…
