Valley of the Dolls Lyrics

On my life I know for sure
We've entered a puppet show
Got my guard up, watch my back
Straight ahead, no turning back
Could say I can take no more
But it'd do no good at all
I could try to walk away
Or just win the game they play

So
Should we go, should we go?
Should we go right now and see?
Let 'em know, let 'em know
I be new in town, oh
Should we go, should we go?
Should we go right now and see?
Let 'em know, let 'em know
I'ma tear shit down

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin' with your mouth open
In the valley of dolls
Baby look at me with the pom poms
Tricked 'em out, make you like me
I'm in the valley of dolls

I'm not half that star
But I got more stats
'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
You know where you are now, you know where you are
Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls?
The valley of the dolls

Open eyes, not like before
Watch them wind up more and more
Rip the tethers from their back
Simulates a heart attack
Jaws all dropped down to the floor
Not like us, 'cause an uproar
Well it seems they're on to me
Dolls don't fuck wit' a queen bee

So
Should we go, should we go?
Should we go right now and see?
Let 'em know, let 'em know
I be new in town, oh
Should we go, should we go?
Should we go right now and see?
Let 'em know, let 'em know
I'ma tear shit down

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin' with your mouth open
In the valley of dolls
Baby look me with the pom poms
Tricked 'em out, make you like me
I'm in the valley of dolls

I'm not half that star
But I got more stats
'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
You know where you are now, you know where you are

Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls
The valley of the dolls

Even I can't pass through the valley of the dolls
Without cursing to myself the day I came, the day I came
Even I can't pass throughout the valley of the dolls
Throughout the valley of the dolls
And be the same, and be the same

Look at me with the drop top back
Watchin' with your mouth open
In the valley of dolls
Baby look me with the pom poms
Tricked 'em out, make you like me
I'm in the valley of dolls

I'm not half that star
But I got more stats
'Cause, uh, I just know where to go
You know where you are now, you know where you are
Don't you know you living in the valley of the dolls
The valley of the dolls

What is the Meaning of Valley of the Dolls?

In a world where façades reign supreme and strings pull every move, Santigold paints a vivid portrait of surreal existence. Our protagonist navigates a land ruled by hollow idols and superficial glamor—the "valley of dolls"—where authenticity is scarce. The lyrics expose the duality of allure and artifice, urging us to question the real from the fake. With metaphoric cheerleaders and jaw-dropping revelations, Santigold embraces rebellion, determined to break free from the puppet-show charade and assert her true self. A poignant reminder that even amid shiny distractions, the essence of who we are is what truly shines.
