Exploring themes of empowerment and societal judgment, "Whore 1983" by In This Moment delves into the dichotomy between public perception and personal identity. The lyrics portray a narrative where the protagonist, labeled as a "whore," embraces this stigmatization as a source of strength rather than shame. The repeated assertions of being "the dirt you created" and "your sinner" reflect a reclaiming of derogatory labels, turning them into symbols of resilience. The song challenges listeners to reconsider their judgments and recognize how hatred often masks hidden affection or desire. Ultimately, it serves as an anthem for those who have been marginalized, encouraging them to own their identities and defy societal expectations.
Whore 1983
Lyrics
I'm the girl you've been thinking about
The one thing you can't live without
Yes, I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees
I'll have you begging for more
Probably thought I wouldn't get this far
Thought I'd end up in the back of a car
Probably thought that I'd never escape
I'd be a rat in a cage, I'd be a slave to this place
You don't know how hard I fought to survive
Waking up alone, left to die
You don't know about this life I've led
All these roads I've walked
All these tears I've bled
So how can this be?
You're praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
That I can be, I can be your everything
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
I'm the one that you need and fear
Now that you're hooked, it's all becoming clear
That all your judgments that you placed on me
Was a reflection of discovery
So maybe next time when you cast your stones
From the shadows of the dark unknown
You will crawl up from your hiding place
Take a look in the mirror
See the truth in your face
So how can this be?
You're praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
That I can be, I can be your everything
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
I can be your everything
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
But let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything, love me for everything
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
I am your whore
Let me tell you something, baby
You love me for everything, you love me for everything
You love me for everything you, you hate me for
