It's heavily koped off Laurie Halse Anderson's novel Wintergirls, which I finished the other day. Don't let its relatively low Lexile range (720) fool you: this book is AMAZING. It's about anorexia and written mostly figuratively.

Lyrics:

Slowly

Turning to dust

She's thinner,

Thinner than us

Crossing the line,

She passes by

So slowly

Chorus:

Wintergirl

You don't know what it feels like

When you're always trying for more

To be less

Why settle for this

When you can be the best

Wintergirl.

Verse 2:

Slowly

She's burning out

Can't see

The dis'ppearing smiles

She's stopped trying to be

Like the rest of us

She can't stop

Battle goes on

Wintergirl

We didn't know what it felt like

When she was always trying for more

Why settle for this

When she was the best

Wintergirl.

Tell me what you think!

Personally, I think there's a lot to be brushed up on, but considering this is my first full recorded effort it's passable. Especially the tune. Which is very horrible but better than all my previous attempts.

Basically it tells the story of an anorexic girl from the POV of people who see her. In the last verse she's died. In case you didn't notice.

Finished Ophelia: A Novel today. Sooo good!

[/EDIT] The video cannot upload. I think I'll try again another day.
