In This Moment's track delves into the stigmatization and stereotyping faced by women, particularly within the music industry. The lyrics portray the protagonist as a "Sex Metal Barbie," a figure constructed from societal gossip and slander, embodying themes of rebellion against derogatory labels ("homicidal queen"). Through this character, the band critiques how female artists are often sensationalized and vilified, challenging the listener to reconsider their participation in these narratives. The repeated calls to "go ahead" serve as a defiant embrace of these imposed identities, transforming criticism into empowerment. Ultimately, the song confronts and subverts the toxic judgments that women endure, asserting a powerful reclaiming of agency within a hostile cultural landscape.
Sex Metal Barbie
Lyrics
Excuse me can you tell me what you've heard about my life
Maybe a dirty little fairy tale, a girl of the night
I heard that I grew up filthy, a trailer park queen
Drop out pregnant statistical teen
I know you heard about the bloody knife
About my daddy's perfect virgin and my mother's wife
You know I heard I don't belong in this game
Still you hold your hands in the air screaming my name
Let's go
Baby go ahead
I'll be your hatred and your pain
This is killing us all
I don't care if I fall
We're the dying, we are the damned
Baby go ahead
I'll be the villain you can blame
I'll be the belle of the brawl
Be the lust in us all
I'm the diva of the damned
I know I don't belong in this scene
Sex metal barbie, homicidal queen
Excuse me can you tell me the worst thing you've heard about me
Maybe that I'm a little harlot homicidal queen
You know I heard that I don't belong in this scene
Sex, metal, barbie, whore, attention fiend
You know I heard that I'm a haters dream
Low class, white trash, I'm so obscene
You know I heard that I should be ashamed
Still they hold their fists in the air screaming my name
Baby go ahead
I'll be your hatred and your pain
This is killing us all
I don't care if I fall
We're the dying, we are the damned
Baby go ahead
I'll be the villain you can blame
I'll be the belle of the brawl
Be the lust in us all
I'm the diva of the damned
I know I don't belong in this scene
Sex metal barbie, homicidal queen
So go ahead
I'll be your hatred and your pain
This is killing us all
I don't care if I fall
We're the dying, we are the damned
Baby go ahead
I'll be the villain you can blame
I'll be the belle of the brawl
Be the lust in us all
I'm the diva of the damned
I heard I don't belong in this scene
Sex metal barbie, homicidal queen
