Music Tuesday #241: Dark pop to brighten your day

I usually stay away from pop music, there are more than enough ways to get a dose of that.  But now and then you come across an intriguing story  This song is well written, perfectly produced and catchy.  I like the juxtaposition of sugary pop melodies and dark themed lyrics.

My baby’s a freak (yeah),

And I’m a masochist.

I’m stuck in his teeth (yeah),

There’s poison on his lips.

'Cause the bad ones love you better,

And nothing lasts forever.

My baby and me, sugary sweet,

Cutting me deep.

Call me a masochist.

It’s bitter and sweet,

Oh, he’s pretty and mean.

Had a dream I was falling in flowers,

Not what it seems,

Oh the petals are bleeding,

They wither, I’m pleading,

For hours.
