Sleeping Beauty

Подробнее о видео

Sometimes you get a creative idea and run with it, even if you think it might be a stupid idea as you're doing it. Well, this is that for me. One day, I thought, 'A music video for Sleeping Beauty where you used only barbies to act out the events might be pretty cool. Their smiling and perfect faces would make a great contrast to the horrifying subject matter of the song. The song was inspired by the true events of the Steubenville High School rape case, though obviously it's not supposed to be based on any particular event. Well, I don't know how it turned out, I am far too close to it, but as the kids say, "it is what it is.' : ) Check out the music video for the song 'Sleeping Beauty' from my fourth album 'The Nausea'.

Lyrics to the full song (the video is missing the end part of the first verse):

"No."
"Go to sleep."
"Stop."
"Go to sleep, you're so beautiful."
"Stop."

Verse I:
Blood red leaves are pillow/ Hung head, she weeps like a willow/ Love's dead, he drinks and smokes indo/ cut bled, from a piece of the window/ She hates him so much she can not control her anger/ down that psycho-path is where that path will take her/ That shard of glass kissed her wrist but not too deep she missed/ On purpose the hurt is like bliss and she needed this/ She scratched his name into her leg and then she crossed it out/ she starts to shout and hopes the loudness lets the monster out!/ He made her feel like she was special, yeah he played her/ sex is a game and he's a mother-fucking player/ she drank those drinks all by herself nobody made her/ look how she's dressed it's obvious she wants him, "Take her"/ The deed was done. He had to tell his friends/ Conquered another one, captured with a lens/ Laying like a corpse, lipstick smeared/ Laughing no remorse, kids all cheered/ So to partake in what their friend had just accomplished/ remember how she's dressed, it's obvious she wants this/ So they all just have a turn, ignoring she's unconscious/ The pleasure that they feel, overrides their conscience/

Chorus: Wont you be my Sleeping... Beauty
(Everybody has a real good time)
Wont you be my Sleeping... Beauty
(We can have a really good time)
[Repeat]

"Slut, Slut"
"Whore, Whore, Whore, Whore"
"Slut, Slut, Dirty Whore, Dirty Whore"

Verse II:
Blood red face, cause' they tease her (Dirty Whore)/Hung head, erase her delete her/ love's dead, he rapped her he cheats her/ Slut said by a gang of cheerleaders/ She hates him so much she cannot control her sadness/Down that suicide-walk is where that path is/ leading... girls keep teasing, they keep on repeating/those words "whore, slut"/ what was she thinking/he was thinking/ leading... him on with all that drinking, all that winking/He thought your s'posed to kiss the princess while she lies there sleeping ([growl], go to sleep) / Now she's special everyone has seen her pictures/She lost the game and he and all his friends are victors/They heard his story but they always seem to miss hers/She found a quite place where nobody could kick her/The deed was done (done)/ once again asleep (sleep)/hidden from everyone (one)/did he even weep (weep)/Princess is a corpse (corpse)/make-up clear (clear)/ do they feel remorse (remorse)/cheerleaders say a cheer (cheer) (slut)/So now they tell each other fictions and they lie/ they never meant to hurt her, never meant to make her cry/ they didn't know that every word they spewed made her wanna die/ they never saw that melancholy tear glisten in her eye.

Chorus: Wont you be my Sleeping... Beauty
(Everybody has a real good time)
Wont you be my Sleeping... Beauty
(We can have a really good time)
