“You want me on my knees to pray, or play some other pleasing role, but never wonder where I must have learnt it all” GIRL

[yjuzdwi]

Paris… you are slowly giving me the courage to leave my abusive relationship. Thank you.

[Riritu]

Coming from Labour and now going through every other song. Every song is literally so good I’m in love <3

[HGR]

Ex cult member, this song hits so hard. It's hauntingly beautiful and speaks to the darkness behind purity culture and the patriarchy. Absolutely incredible

[mattimoodle]

"Screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing, and I will tell you now that I'm not even singing"
Those lines gave me chills

[ary_]

The way I relate to this. When she said " Devil he calls me, he seems to be enjoying the fruits of my labor that came to me too young, when he stole my virtue, I'm glad it serves you that I was born a daughter and not a son" that hit me deep in my soul.

[viktoriagkoraki]

It's giving Midsommar and I love it

[sahibkaur]

you’re fueling my rage against the patriarchy we live in, thank you.

[jessiprince]

the visuals really add such a somber, bitter sweet touch to the lyrics. It's very sweet and just the right amount of shocking that take this to the next level. the girls who have been before her, teaching her the dance they learned together. "For if I'm going down, I guess I'll take you with me", we need more media like this right now. I love this 🙏💕

[dead_venus]

I love just how the video is using carefree motives and colours that scream innocence, and yet you can feel the darkness. It's amazing and just how it captures perfectly this surface - level feeling of happiness and innocence, but there is this unsettling feeling oozing from the video that below this illusion of innocene and hapiness there is this darkness, evil whisper that gets stronger. A masterpiece.

[crabbss]

If a man ever asked me to explain womanhood to him, i‘d show him your music and your videos. They speak to me on such a fundamental level

[Spiritwhisperer]

Doing trauma therapy for CSA and SA right now, this song has been my anthem and my comfort

[mariasherman]

This hits really hard as a feminine bodied person. What got my attention though was that the dancers looked as if they were in the process of being overcome by flora. It reminded me of the Greek myth about the nymph who begged the gods to turn her into a laurel tree to escape Apollo. It's as if the dancers would prefer losing their lives/humanity over the trauma assault brings

[swaggertoothjayzonmyfeet]

My love, are you the devil?
I would worship you instead of him
I have no time for confession
For I'm too busy committing sins
My love, you're something special
I never met someone like you
You'd make me fall from heaven
But I know just what I do

"Angel", he calls me
Does he know that I'm falling?
From a precipice that I tripped off long ago
"You're so pure", he says
Does he know, I'm forsaken?
The original sinner
But soon you'll know
For if I'm going down

I guess I'll take you with me
Naked in that garden
Back at the beginning
And now in your arms
You're faithless, for you pitched me
Against your holy father
And it seems that I am winning

I don't
I feel your hands grabbing my throat
As you say

My love, are you the devil?
I would worship you instead of him
I have no time for confession
For I'm too busy committing sins
My love, you're something special
I never met someone like you
You'd make me fall from heaven
But I know just what I do

"Devil", you call me
But seems to be enjoying
The fruits of my labour that came to me too young
When he stole my virtue
I'm glad it seems to serve you
That I was born a daughter and not a son
For if I'm going down

I guess I'll take you with me
Screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing
And I will tell you now
That I'm not even singing
There's no escape for some

Least of all for me
I feel your lips kissing my feet
But even so

Oh!
Oh, call me a devil
Oh, you call me a devil
You want me on my knees to pray
Or play some other pleasing role
Never wonder
Where I must have learnt it all
You want me to transgress
While I'm in my Sunday best
And all the while have no respect

As you eat it up whole
My body and my blood
You've claimed it now, so come drink up
And there's no need to be concerned
About what's left when you are done because
You've got me on my knees to pray
Or play some other pleasing role
But never wonder
Where I must have learnt it all

[florenciahoracio]

As a writer, this is the type of songs that can inspire so much, thank you for what you do, both the lyrics and the video are a work of art

[randomdreamer]

an actual piece of art. looks like a painting. i love the vibes, it's both fairy-like and witchy ✨

[TheUkiko]

This perfectly describes how it feels to be in any Male ran religion not just cults. I'm a Christian and it always bothered me how there was this expectation for girls to be pure but that same standard didn't apply to men. Jesus and Muhammad made no such distinction. Men from those cultures did. Sorry for venting in the comments 🙏

[ava_ruth_wagner]

I’m an ex-Christian now thriving as a true witch and by the gods this song is beautiful and makes me more comfortable to be me

[hufflepufflez]

The symbolism in this is so subtle and good, I really had to comment. At the end, it's the women with other flowers in their hair adding the first white flower to her crown of laurels. An acknowledgement, the sadness and mindlessness to the women's faces when they dance around her, because they know it is something that just keeps going on and on and on. So upsetting.

[willowbrooke]

I could watch this forever, it felt simultaneously shocking and comforting. And the set is absolutely stunning!!! Towards the end “you want me on my knees” I began thinking of Artemis leading her girls into battle and felt such a strong kinship with the ones shown. I rarely watch music videos because so many are storyless dancing that just doesn’t appeal to me but this, once again, resembles Hozier vibe of otherworldly magic, unapologetically calling the church out while showing what could be if they weren’t in the seat of power. This was so beautiful, so evocative, I can’t wait to see what else Paris releases ❤️✌🏼
