"i used to cry and sing along to the wii sports theme (idk im really emotional) and i decided to make that vibe a songy song. i was in a shakey relationship that was coming to an end and it's a little about that but also just my usual sadness". [3]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I don't care what my besties say
I'm gonna fuck you anyway
I can give you head today
But I just can't get up out of bed today
My routine is just so rehearsed
checking my daily Bible verse
My life got kinda worse
I can never do shit that I prefer
[Pre-Chorus]
I got this this problem, when God turns me to the mirror
A line for every worry and a flaw for every fear
Brush on that Studio Fix and hope I disappear
To the Father and the Son, I go pray
[Chorus]
If I looked just like Mary Magdalene,
Tell me baby what'll happen then?
If I looked just like Mary Magdalene,
Would all the bad shit just stop happening?
If I just looked like Mary Magdalene
Trivia[]
- The "Mary Magdalene" in question might not refer to the biblical figure, but instead to a TikTok star with the same name. This influencer is known for her extreme addiction to cosmetic procedures, having spent over $100,000 on risky surgeries, most notably a series of excessive breast augmentations.
- It was the first single released by Ayesha since "Vacation Bible School" in 2018.
