“Barbie Nation” is the opening track from HOLYCHILD’s debut album, The Shape of Brat Pop to Come.
In an interview with Idolator, Louie said this track is his favorite from the album, with a follow-up from Liz:
‘Barbie Nation’ is essentially a letter to my future daughter in which I’m telling her t...
[Verse 1]
Maybe when my womb is broken open and I can
Hold you with the joy of knowing there is no other
Fear will slip away and I can know that finally
Love is something I'll know
Always had the tendency to believe
Hiding from the truth could maybe set you free
After you dance that Hollywood mingle
Surrender yourself to the dream
[Chorus]
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
But the bodies and lips moving
Hips sway, hearts drop
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
'Cause we're bred from Barbie Nation
We know pure elation, yeah
[Verse 2]
Suddenly within the little frame that I know
You'll grow into every corner shamed by the shadow
Sweetening the years when we grow together
Drinking all that TV glow
I can never shade you no, you will see
All the dark and lovely flow you will be
Stronger 'cause you'll always know the woman's weight
And happier than I'll ever be
[Chorus]
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
But the bodies and lips moving
Hips sway, hearts drop
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
Cause we're bred from Barbie Nation
We know pure elation, yeah
[Bridge]
I'd rather love you madly
Than divulge truth this sadly
We can continue facades
It's all fine and I know it's not for me
Despite all honesty here
Disputing kingdom failure
Just make your body nicer
Stand up taller, the world is watching you
Here
There
Where?
Where?
[Chorus]
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
But the bodies and lips moving
Hips sway, hearts drop
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
'Cause we're bred from Barbie Nation
We know pure elation, yeah
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
But the bodies and lips moving
Hips sway, hearts drop
I know you and me are not so much
I know you and me can make it far
'Cause we're bred from Barbie Nation
We know pure elation, yeah
