Lyrics:
I met a woman with lips so red
A face so lined like spider webs
I’ll always remember the things she said
They were so wise, she ope’d my eyes and they’ll never close again
Oh how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette
I felt compelled to enquire of her success
How do you do how can you be so in love with yourself
Tell me please cause I need help
She said…
Every time you are succeeding
There’s an old man somewhere, seething
And spite’s as good a reason to take his power
When you hate the body you are in
Oh love, you’re acting just for him
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
Our fear it lines his pockets love
So take that rage and bottle up
And put a drop into his cup of wine
You don’t need him, you don’t need me
With that poisoned bottle you’ll be free
But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine
I met a young girl with eyes so bright
She was already getting sick of life
Her arms were laden with his merchandise
She asked me why I no longer try and waste my time
and I said “spite”
‘Cause every time you are succeeding
There's an old man somewhere seething
And spite’s as good a reason to take his power
When you hate the body you are in
Oh love, you’re acting just for him
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
Our fear it lines his pockets love
So take that rage and bottle up
And put a drop into his cup of wine
You don’t need him, you don’t need me
With that poisoned bottle you’ll be free
But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine
Be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine
I met a woman with lips so red
Always remember the things she said

"with that poisoned bottle you'll be free, but be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine." i love this lyric because it shows that women are often, sadly, pitted against each and we need to stick together in order to fight against the patriarchy ❤
Paris Paloma has done it again and written an amazing female rage anthem. Will be playing this on repeat.
I put this on repeat any time I need to do anything where I don't need to interact with other people. I have fallen asleep listing to this twice now. I've known it for 3 days lol.
@@rockthepebble388finally. I've found my people.
@@jellyrainstorm650 hell ya it took a while lol
@@jellyrainstorm650 we fight the bs together here!!
@@rockthepebble388 yes. This is why Paris is so amazing. Look at the community in the comments. So many people fighting the bs of society.
I think that line of "but be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine" is a reminder that women need to build each other up not treat them as competition to elevate themselves.
you're right, it also reminds me of internalized misogyny in women
It's hard to express how much impact does your music have - every piece of art you're publishing makes me feel something really ancestry inside, something very grueling but in the same time I feel like I'm in the right place, beside my sisters here.
female rage!!! i love it
She’s so good at using poetic lyricism/imagery/storytelling to get her message across. A lot of music that has the same messages is a bit too on the nose for me, nothing wrong with that, it’s just not my cup of tea. I absolutely love her work!
@@seeseemboaà❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤1``
I agree, her songs r so evocative and have quickly become some of my favorites because of how raw the emotion is. Nothing ignites my rage and sorrow and also pride like her lyrics!
I just discovered her, and am loving every song more and more! Already shared with my niece and my female friends - such strong messages!! ❤
'when you hate the body you're in/oh love you're acting just for him' - this hit so hard. It's such hard gruelling work learning to stop hating your body, but it's so worth it once you get there. I used to hate everything about my body so much but now I love it defiantly - acne scars and thick thighs and leg hair and big nose and all. We don't need makeup and we don't need injections or surgery, we need courage!! Literally got tears in my eyes listening to this, I love women so much ❤ we're so strong and amazing!
Be the lionesses. The work together, and if the group is endangered they work together to take the problem out, (That is a diplomatic statement for Finance’s commercial communications, which seems to be ever more concerned with controlling the agenda of finance).
PERIODT 👏🙌🧡
Ooo, I love that "now I love it defiantly".
I will endeavour to love my body defiantly.
Thank you for those words.
@@jennivamp5me too. One day I won’t hate my belly. My daughter loves my belly and revels in its softness and the comfort that it gives. Why do we do this to ourselves? For what? For men? No more… I get chills listening to her songs. I just discovered her yesterday. Goddess!
I like that she starts talking about how an older woman gave her advice and then she passed it on to a younger girl. ❤
Paris just keeps dropping diamonds one after another, girl shot up my list of favorite artists like a damn rocket.
I love how low your voice gets in this song, especially the "she was already getting sick of life" part, gave me chills 🖤
Paris became my favorite artist with two songs. All that rage and injustice that i and every woman i know experienced is beautifully expressed here. What a year for female empowerment.
It feels silly to admit but as someone who has struggled with self image issues and hatred this song made me tear up. Especially the part about the young girl, even though ive never been overly interested in make up etc and have rejected the concept as a feminist since ive realized the damage it does to women and young girls. Thank you for writing these songs. The fruits, labour, etc all of them are so incredibly impactful and I listen to them on repeat regularly
I'm so glad that my perspective of makeup has been" I'm doing art and this time my canvis is my face" instead of "I need makeup to look good" I've seen so many people with the second view on it and it's really sad. Using makeup to change your appearance is fine but if you feel like you need it to look good than that's unhealthy and untrue.
I agree with you!! Especially the makeup part
Everytime I'm frustrated or overwhelmed with university I remember my ability to read and write in my spoke language and my understanding of basic math makes me more academically intelligent than 90%+ of men who have ever lived. And it's a great motivator
: )
@pass-vs2pk Why you gotta drop bomb morning affirmations on us like that? 🥰💣💥
THIS IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE!
“But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine” gave me shivers
How is she not more well known!? Her music is so empowering
That’s probably why! She’s too powerful lol
My new female anger anthem! 😌💗
I haven’t been this excited about a new artist like this in a long time. Her writing, storytelling, voice, and melodies would have done it alone but then you listen to the lyrics… my God… Chills. Every woman in the world needs to listen to her. Let’s rip the patriarchy to shreds ladies. She’s our soundtrack.❤
The Icon of our age, she says just what we’re thinking & feeling 🙌❤️🔥
And she understands it so Young too. M and my friends where dumb asses in our early 20s
@sierrabird2460 we were a lot more socialized to not question the status quo, we saw firsthand how it affected family members mother's friends Etc when they stepped out of line.
Nowadays, they don't have to worry about half of the shit we did (despite the horrors we still have), just like we didn't have to worry about half the shit our moms did (despite the hell that was "women simply living in the 90s").
Each generation works to get Society to a point where their children are safer, specifically even more safe and hospitable than how the last set of women left the Earth.
If that's not a Super Woman, cross generational pus sy power of ours, I don't know what is!!!
We need to lovingly stage a domestic labor strike.
We can't keep going how it was in the past, and we have many dinosaurs who are freaking out as they die out, that their ideology is dying with them.
Society should be very thankful women want equality- not revenge and satifaction for our ancestors.
I always weld so much more pumped up when I listen to this, I became a welder to really do something that would help others and create. It’s always so fun to see people’s reactions to my career because I’m very feminine outside of work
This has the power to move mountains and crumble the patriarchy singlehandedly. Paris Paloma, somehow you are awakening something that has been forgotten for too long. Our power. 🔥
Painfully underrated. Youre so talented its insane. Everytime you post a tiktok with a snippet of a new songs it goes to my favourites straight away
paris you’re such an icon this is CRIMINALLY underrated I love the song and the lyrics so much this is so powerful
I'm a male teen and I love her music!
I think you're the first singer to give songs I've been wanting for so long. Not a single song has comprised my feelings of rage in such a perfect way. I'm not mad for me alone, you sing for all women and we deserve that. Music is for messages, for our feelings, and we need the rage we have all been feeling to be heard, to be in music. This, Labor, and fruits are my favorites, I can't wait for Drywall
I have been so ready for this song to drop, and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Love your music, and their messages so much! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us❤
I cannot explain in words how this song makes me feel "our fear it lines his pockets love" that line is embedded into my heart.
Paris paloma doesn't just make art she is art.
This song found me when I had just been given a zinger of a one liner about my joining the fire department that cut deep. It may not have been meant with malice, but dang it stung coming from someone I care about. I'm sure he's eating his words now , and will continue to as I continue firefighting and breaking his archaic mould. Thanks, Paris for the anthem that has helped me keep my head on straight and push on ❤️ I've said for years everything I do is out of spite. I'm not what anyone told me I'd be growing up (dropout, addict, party girl, bad mother, etc.). They can all shove it where the sun don't shine. I refuse to let them be right.
I love Paris Paloma so much, oh my goodness. Her songs make me feel so empowered as a woman. Just honestly, thank you!
I am confused by how underrayed this song is especially after Labour became so huge .
As someone who doesn't often drop huge praise on artists, this womans works are incredible and intensely intimate. I hope she keeps up the inspiring work
What an artist; her lyrics are on another level entirely!
I have never found an artist that truly hits all the feelings i have in such a beautifully strong way. It’s a bop and great reminder. I truly love every single song.
This song is POWERFUL. All women need to understand and take in this message.
Need that quote on a shirt Paris makes such evocative music it's really hard to dissect it all at once. I want more female rage videos like this and I wish more success to her
With the rhythmn and the (sadly) timeless lyrics, i just know this is going to be a classic. Love the intergenerational feminist themes ❤❤❤❤
“I met a young girl with eyes so bright
She was already getting sick of life” hit me so hard .
That's the definition of art!
Paris I can't express how free your music makes me feel. A weight lifting off of me. I love it all and you hit it hard with this one too. Please don't stop!
This song is amazing, I think I'll listen to it for a long long time because it remembers me why I have to keep living and overcome my being afraid of being happy while doing so: spite.
Feminine rage is Paris Paloma incarnate. We all felt it.
Facebook has marked this video as offensive, what the hell? What kind of fragile masculinity felt the need to do that??? Shame on him.
I love how as this song builds and gains strength, so do the women singing the lines. They start almost shy, barely moving their lips but as it builds they are saying the lines with their whole bodies as they start to believe it
This woman doesn’t have one bad song, Jesus Christ all of them are masterpieces
Paris Paloma does it again!!! Such an amazing artist with songs that reverberate through generations of old messaging, and breaking them apart! Powerful!
It’s kinda sad to admit the only reason I’m alive is quiet literally spite, and this song encapsulates this perfectly
Again, a song left me balling out my eyes after it touched buried feelings😢❤ thanks Paris Paloma. Thank you so much for helping healing
full body chills.
Paris, I've been following you and your music for a little while and I fully mean it when I say you literally never disappoint. Your music has the same beautiful quality that I've only found in Hozier's discography, and he's my favorite artist. I simply can't wait to see where your music career brings you and witness you reach even higher peaks every time! THANK YOU for the amazing music you create ❤
Oh I love this song already so much
I love the lines "her arms were already lined with her merchandise" its sad how many girls have scars on their arms
I've listened to this so many times it already feels like I've listened to it for a year. Shocked to find this song was only released about two weeks ago.
Thank you for making me cry with rage and strength, for making me feel less alone and less crazy 💜
I already commented once, but just wanted to say that I've repeated this three times on a friday night, and it's 1:55 am. Worth it!
i literally can't stop listeting to this song all day long! i get goosebumps from every second. the lyrics are so relatable, clever and filled with an empowering rage of womanhood. support female artists, live laugh love Paris Paloma💗
Невероятная песня! Покрываюсь мурашками каждый раз слушая ее. Она дает мне сил и вдохновляет, как ни одна другая. Я очень благодарна за нее, спасибо
how doesn't this have millions of views/likes? she's so talented
every single one of your songs is an absolute masterpiece, including this. thank you so much paris for ur amazing work and truly blessing our ears, i adore your music so much 🫶🏼
I haven't gotten goosebumps from an artist in a LONG time. You're in a whole different league of your own
well this is my new favourite song. that's saying something coming in the same 6mths Mitski and Hozier released an album each.
Another brilliant song as always! Really loving your recent stuff, your art is blooming and it's a privilege to watch in real time
this is gonna be major inspo for my story 🥰
Absolutely love this! 😍😍 I can't wait for Paris to make a full album one day.
It feel so short, like it should be a 15min thing, it's so great to the point you don't want it to end.
Thank you so, so much for what you are doing. As a young women, there are so many difficulties in my life rn, and I've been struggling for a while, but your music make me smile and dance and cry. And it's so beautiful and amazing ❤❤❤
I need a longer version of this! It's so empowering 💪🏻🖤
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
I find myself in a state of deja vu. I remember getting this excited back in my youth for new Tori amos and pj Harvey. Thank the gods and goddesses for you and kiki Rockwell. Give me hope for my daughter's own musical empowering. Blessed Be.
Please I am begging you, come to america so I can hear this live in concert.
I second this!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
GET HER TO 100K!!!! ❤❤❤
The only criticism I could provide is that's it's too short, I need more!
Florence and the machine vibes BIG TIME and I love it!!
Omg I’m legit amazed at the lyrics and power to all your songs! Must be been said a lot but new favorite artists ❤💯 it’s dark and thought provoking.
