Meg Myers - Adelaide Lyrics






I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn't win this fight
Black and blue dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide

Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man

Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
i don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go

I should pray for Adelaide
But she don't hear a goddamn word that I say
Oh I'm so ashamed of Adelaide
How do you justify every moment he takes
Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man

Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
i don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go

And I'm buried in the silence
My eyes are closed
Got me like a spider
Trapped in your...

You can't hold me down boy
You can't hold me down boy..

Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
i don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go

  1. F.... ....

    Meggers, you've become my hero! Let's go hiking!

  2. A.... S....

    Anyone else here after listening to the closing credits of the finale of banshee season1?
    I've been listening to Meg Myers for upwards of an hour...

  3. A.... ....

    damn I accidentally had 2x on and this is way to addicting hahahahahah

  4. W.... ....

    Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like early Twenty One Pilots? Idk but to me, this is something that could've perfectly been written by Tyler himself back in the self-titled days, and that is great. It is also great to see how she has developed her sound over the years cause if you compare this so what she did on Take Me To The Disco, you'll notice the differences.


    As always, I love all of your songs and I love you Meg.
    Thank you for your music, it makes life worth living for.

  5. J.... D....

    This song has a once common but forgotten beat

  6. d.... i....

    I wish she would have made a video for this one. A favorite for sure!

  7. M.... ....

    ANYBODY NOTICE THAT MEG LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG KATIE HOLMES ?  ONLY BETTER.  WHAT TALENT, SHE IS GREAT.

  8. e.... e....

    Absolutely my favorite song of this extraordinary artist.. Kiss Kiss from Roma, Italy

    You sound like no one else. Don't mind the ignorant comments comparing you to other greats. Blissfully unique an elixir of divine essence for the war in "heaven". :)

  11. R.... K....

    She has the most nibbleable looking neck I've ever seen

  12. w.... ....

  19. H.... ....

    furries.... furries brought me here.... damn this fandom for their good taste in music

  20. N.... N....

    This album came out right after my wife and I lost a foster daughter that we were in the process of adopting. I keep coming back to her music for whatever reason. I remember those feelings I had before that. We were so happy and care-free in those days. Goddamnit.

  21. M.... S....

    люблю тебя

  22. T.... G....

    I should pray for Adelaide.

  47. A.... V....

    CVS ...lol

  48. B.... M....

    So underappreciated. So good.

  49. S.... S....

    Again, this is too real. I've been struggling to leave an abusive relationship and so many of her lyrics wake me up, despite my family begging for years.

  50. p.... ....

    You're just that condom man

  51. M.... T....

    she didn't shave she didn't use neat but she used my face like a bicycle seat.....

  52. J.... ....

    it sounds different

  53. J.... G....

    I always turn this up and start singing off key with it, the music is infectious even if the lyrics have that dark over tone

  54. s.... ....

    Great rhythm and drums. I sang all the percussion tracks.

  55. A.... B....

    Uggh, Adelaide.

  56. J.... S....

    sounds in a lot of her music that she may have an alternate personality. therefore she is adelaide , but she is concerned for the safty of the alter that has been most hurt by love.

  57. J.... V....

    Good shit.

  58. V.... E....

    I love all her songs I would love to go see her live , I relate so damn much

  59. R.... _....

    It's all a big nothing, i've just gotta let go...

  60. J.... W....

    This song is amazing. Meg Myers is a strong and powerful woman <3 I love her <3

  61. f.... ....

    SUPERB layering in this track. gives me goosebumps. not to mention on point lyrics, not too vague, not too many words. ugh <3

  62. R.... ....

    I like to think this song is about Meg Myers and her rebellious cats...

  63. c.... ....

    I think this is my favorite. That piano does things to me.

  64. T.... C....

    love it

  65. Y.... ....

    Every moment I surrender
    Such a waste of love

    J.... S....

  75. A.... S....

    She sounds like a badass cross between Alanis Morissette & Avril Lavigne - don't sell out!!

    A.... S....

    Girl is good but no Alanis. Then there is the fact Alanis is no Janis Joplin.

    A.... S....

    Ali Siska Avril? Eh replace that with Fionna Apple

    A.... S....

    Very early avril let go era

    A.... S....

    @Darius Coates But way more modern and not so pop-punk-ish IMO

    v.... ....

    I honestly believe Meg is a GF fan herself

  89. R.... ....

    2:00 is when the real song starts.

    R.... ....

    Never is when your life started.

    R.... ....

    My favorite part of the song

  90. T.... D....

    I'm Creepy too ... i'll just hold it in

  91. M.... W....

    this is the first artist that actually imbrases pain and excepes it her music means something this is a true artist

    M.... W....

    **Embraces* **Accepts*. Also, you forgot the punctuation between 'It' and 'her'. In addition, you've also forgotten the capitalisation at the beginning of a sentence, in addition to the period at the end of your post. I'm sorry, I'm such a grammar Nazi.

    M.... W....

    *embraces *accepts. Technically, neither E or A would be capitalized, since neither E or A possess an actual beginning to the sentence.

    M.... W....

    My phone capitalized that. Sorry I didn't catch it!

    M.... W....

    Listen to Pinkerton, very personal

    M.... W....

    Well alanis morrisette did it best but she’s a close second

  92. �.... ....

    this is one of my favorites songs it's full of energy and feelings

  93. D.... H....

    I wounder how many times I've listened to this song

    D.... H....

    "Wonder"

    D.... H....

    +Hillary Lee
    Wounder flounder

  94. J.... O....

    who here thinks Meg and Alt-J should do a collab song or album. The epicness would be fucking real

  95. d.... ....

    my buddy said hot dog down a hall way

    d.... ....

    Yeah, apparently the roast beef sandwich isn't exactly tight. hear say though.

    d.... ....

    +drowninursleep Fucking internet.

  96. D.... O....

    I love this band amazing sound and very different I hope they perform in Montreal soon! =D

  97. K.... B....

    This song would go really great with Scandal!
