My personal interpretation is that a parent would always let their child down by not allowing them to do certain things such as attending parties. This is a twist in the lyrics, as I'd call it myself. She's doing wild stuff outside that are highly likely to be harmful for her. She wants to matter, to be accepted amongst her classmates and friends. But she's on fire due to her violent youth. This is not the reality you'd like to be living in for the rest of your life, and I (as a mother/father/etc.) would not want to continue seeing you ruin your life and future in front of my eyes. I'll pay for you to get better, to let go of this fake life. If you've actually come to your senses and decided to stay home with your family for a change. A young girl in her early/late teens is supposed to look more innocent than many in fact do. You're just as good the way you are without being a slave to modern-day society. You won't be harming yourself with booze or drugs. Don't let others get to you while you're vulnerable. Don't go there to vomit after having taken drugs, either. Don't attend parties in order to throw up after having drunk more than you could possibly handle. She'd better not kiss them for real but do so through windows. She's advised to only watch that fake world from her window instead of being part of it. She's supposed to protect and cherish her innocence, not let it get consumed by society's false norms. Prevention is meant here in the sense of the girl preventing herself from being abused/drugged/raped, etc. After all, you're a young girl who's not supposed to dress up so scarcely.
#CRYSTAL CASTLES LYRICS BETTER SKIN#
It is also a way to symbolize purity by pulling your lace that high, you won't be able to show off any piece of skin that would be too much.
With them being part of your face, this would symbolize protecting your very own self from the people who would want to misuse you. but pull it all the way up to your cheekbones. Eventually, that will turn out to be her only item to hold on to her connection to the better past. Not sure about this line in particular, but I'd assume that what the songwriter meant was a girl doing her best to look good, even if that would mean sneaking into her mother's room for a piece of jewel. At the end of the day, you're still just one lost teen living in a fake world. However, it hasn't quite worked out for you. What else would you expect under these circumstances besides being let down? You've modeled yourself after them, you've done your best in order to try and fit. Because that's what all teens do when they're out. Dress up in a provocative way in order to attract males' attention. They're violent as they're self-destructive doing their best to fit in without ever being understood. My InterpretationI think this song is called 'Violent Youth' exactly because it pictures how wrong our society is in the way youngsters develop.
