This song is about a girl by the name of Daria who has had a rough relationship with the singer/songwriter (John McCrea). It seems as though the singer has wronged Daria because of clouded and negative thoughts, however, when she gets mad he starts to play the victim.
[Verse 1]
When you tried to kiss me, I only bit your tongue
When you tried to get me together, I only came undone
When you tried to tell me the one for me was you
I was in your mattress back in 1982
[Chorus]
Daria, I won't be soothed
Daria, yeah, I won't be soothed over like smoothed over
Like milk, silk
A bedspread or a quilt
Icing on a cake
Or a serene translucent lake
Daria, Daria
Yeah, Daria, I won't be soothed, I won't be soothed
[Verse 2]
When you tried to tell me of all the love you had
I was cleaning oil from beaches, seeing only what was bad
When you tried to feed me, I only shut my mouth
Food got on your apron and you told me to get out
[Chorus]
Daria, I won't be soothed
Daria, yeah, I won't soothed over like smoothed over
Like milk, silk
A bedspread or a quilt
Icing on a cake
Or a serene translucent lake
Daria, Daria
Daria, Daria, yeah
Daria, yeah, Daria, yeah
Daria, I won't be soothed, I won't be soothed
