Emilie Autumn - Mad girl (acoustic)

"mad girl" by Emilie Autumn ♥
spread the plague! :)

lyrics:

Mad girl
Can you believe
What they've done to you?
Wouldn't they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday you'll know

The beginning and the end
Much closer than they seem
Death is but a dream, I know
Dolls are meant to grow away
All broken and bent from petty play
My friend in this world
Is a bottle of nothing
Still I fly
Still I fall

Mad girl
Can you believe
What they've done to you?
Wouldn't they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday you'll know

Like the water in the well
My melancholy state
Folly, fear and hate, I know
Even time will never tell
She teetered, she tripped
And then she fell
My faith in this world
Is a bottle of nothing
Still I fly
Still I fall

Mad girl
Can you believe
What they've done to you?
Wouldn't they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday

I'm glad to have heard the acoustic version

this version to me seems like it has more emotion in a angry way

[XxMissNoNamexX]

This song is so relatable.

You tell and tell people they're hurting you, but they don't stop, and you end up as a "Mad Girl"

[Tawnyshine]

@DavidDecapitation Exactly :3

[ArchaicSushi]

@DavidDecapitation I have listened to it and you're right. I feel just a bit stupid right now, haha! XD

[ArchaicSushi]

I was wrong, sorry! I didn't realise a harpsichord was an acoustic instrument but I know now...

[DavidDecapitation]

@Tawnyshine Like this whole song? :)

[DavidDecapitation]

@ArchaicSushi Well if you listen to the original version (I'll assume you haven't), there are lots of effects and such, and she uses a presumably electric violin. Also, and I just thought of this, she might be using a keyboard in the original and an actual harpsi here. It certainly sounds more acoustic in this version.

[xXHelloPersonXx]

@SammiandKate It's not wrong, it can be classified as a Keyboard or String Instrument.

[SammiandKate]

@xXHelloPersonXx wrong. Harpsichord works by plucking the string, as opposed to a piano that strikes the string. However, it is very similar to a keyboard, though I'm not quite sure if it can be called one; and it is still a string instrument.

[xXHelloPersonXx]

@ArchaicSushi A Harpsichord works by when the key is pressed, the jack falls down and hits the string, therefore, it is a keyboard and string instrument.

@ArchaicSushi So? The harpsichord is (to my feeble knowledge) an acoustic instrument.

@ArchaicSushi

Is there something bad about it being on a harpsichord?

The harpsichord is reaaaallly pretty <3
