Dollmaker - Joanna

Copied!

Well as for me, I simply don’t consider
Anyone but myself
If I see something pretty sitting on the shelf
I move towards it

And never stop to think that it might
Have a beating heart
Or the thought occurs and I
Conveniently ignore it

Well I’m Midas and a magpie
Turn you to gold and steal you
Keep you in my collection
And only ever take you out to play

Make you so hot you might die
Rip out your heart to heal you
Then tell you about Joanna, so you can
Go on and tell Joanna, baby!

Hey now, there’s no point in getting angry
Really, girl, what for?
I know I treated you like a whore
But what’s the matter?

Well I fucked you up - it’s not the first time
You’ll get over it now
I said I’m sorry - would you please reassume your seat
On my silver platter?
My promises are broken
My love songs all recycled
Because I love the planet
To use them only once would be a waste

But they were softly spoken
So I didn’t mean them, right girl?
Just ask Joanna, you can
Go on and ask Joanna, baby!

Liar
Liar
Liar
Liar
Liar

I’ll be your birthday cake, bite
In to find it’s full of severed heads
And hearts, and lungs, and dread
And dread, and dread
Girl, what did you expect?

You made a grave mistake if
You thought this man would taste like gingerbread
Not infidelity and dread, and dread
Girl, what did you expect?

Song Description

edit description

"Dollmaker - Joanna" is a haunting and introspective song that explores themes of manipulation, betrayal, and emotional abuse. The lyrics speak to the toxic nature of a relationship where one person sees the other as nothing more than a doll to be played with and discarded. The protagonist, who sees themselves as Midas and a magpie, admits to turning their partner into gold only to steal them and keep them in their collection. They manipulate, lie, and deceive, all while justifying their actions with empty apologies and broken promises. The song's eerie and unsettling tone is reflected in the dark imagery of severed heads and hearts, creating a sense of unease and foreboding. Ultimately, "Dollmaker - Joanna" serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of being in a relationship with someone who sees you as nothing more than a possession to be controlled and manipulated.
