About maggots for brains
‘maggots for brains’ is the fourth track off Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’. Inspired by Sex and The City’s Miranda Hobbes, ‘maggots for brains’ compares lovesickness and codependency to having a rotting brain, being practically catatonic and unable to function properly without her partner. Prior to the release of the album, Rodrigo would tease the lyrics of the song via an encore shirt at Lollapalooza in Chicago. .
maggots for brains Lyrics
[00:00.00]
[00:11.86] My day was so mundane, I don't think I left the house
[00:17.66] Drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out
[00:23.53] Somehow it's the weekend, I'm still bored out of my skull
[00:29.33] And I went to the party but only on principle
[00:34.74] Empty
[00:37.73] Look at me
[00:40.54] I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track
[00:46.13] I feel dirty, I feel rotten and the colors are all flat
[00:52.02] I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains
[00:57.95] But that's just a thing that happens when my
[01:01.96]
[01:02.58] My baby goes away
[01:04.94]
[01:08.53] My baby goes away
[01:10.69]
[01:13.63] He goes away
[01:16.34] Everything feels moldy like the fruit that's in my fridge
[01:21.94] And everything that's funny I wish I could tell to him
[01:27.83] And sometimes, at a low point, I even wish for tragedy
[01:33.75] 'Cause I know he'd come over and take real good care of me
[01:39.25] It's weird (oh)
[01:42.18] He's not here (oh)
[01:44.87] I'm a zombie in my body, I'm a train off of the track
[01:50.46] I feel dirty, I feel rotten and the colors are all flat
[01:56.43] I'm a sad shell of a woman and I've got maggots for brains
[02:02.17] But that's just a thing that happens when my
[02:05.96]
[02:06.98] My baby goes away
[02:09.24]
[02:12.89] My baby goes away
[02:15.24]
[02:18.13] He goes away, oh-oh-oh
[02:21.29] What can I do
[02:25.40] But think of you?
[02:28.31] But think of you? (But think of you?)
[02:33.08] What can I do (what I can do)
