Gentlemen engulf her
Like a rising tide
They lift her up to let her drown
She crashes fast like ice
Yeah, the men are not as gentle
As they write in fairytales
Once they’ve stroked her petals
They go and spread their seed
Pollinating other girls
Who want…who need…who seek
Validation
Yearning for escapism
New loves her paradise
But sweet mistruths they break her roots
And the men oblige with stripes
She seeks validation
Their violence surrounds her
Cuts like a carving knife
That’s slicing skin too thin to win
Her flesh it bleeds like night
Her wounds on show are kryptonite
She seeks validation
She's the one
The one...
Who never sees it coming
Whose trusting to a fault
Who never learns from past mistakes
Another young dumb blonde
But a cycle it is hard to break (for girls who don't know better)
And men smell blood from far away (when girls lose faith in better)
So whose the one to blame?
Whose the one to blame?
The naive youth or men who prey
On girls who love too easily
So whose the one to blame? (men who prey)
Whose the one to blame? (men who prey)
She's the one
The one...
Who never sees it coming
Whose trusting to a fault
Who never learns from past mistakes
Another young dumb blonde
She seeks validation
She seeks validation

I think this lyric hits on some deep issues in our culture of exploitation of women.
