GOING TO HELL Lyrics – PRETTY RECKLESS

GOING TO HELL Lyrics reject living by others’ rigid rules and expectations. Lines like “I’ve never been to heaven / I don’t wanna go” and “Devil on my shoulder, where angels fear to tread” establish a rebellious spirit rebelling against being told how to behave and live. Led by Taylor Momsen’s gritty vocals, the darkly cathartic song channels frustration with judgment and oppression. However, underlying the aggression is a sense of freedom in embracing one’s perceived flaws and living authentically without shame or limitation. While subversive, the song ultimately conveys finding empowerment and self-acceptance in proudly diverging from society’s norms. Do read GOING TO HELL Lyrics below.

Father did you miss me
Been locked up a while
I got caught from what I did but took it all in style
Later ask for my confession I got way back when
But now my first and so much worse
So I am back again
Heresy
For the lives that I take, I am going to hell
For the love that I’ll make, I am going to hell
Father did you miss me
Don’t ask me where I’ve been
You know I know
Yes, I’ve been told I redefine sin
I don’t know what’s driving me to put this in my head
Maybe I wish I could die, maybe I am dead
HeresyFor the laughs that I fake, I am going to hell
For the vows that I break, I am going to hell
For the ways that I hurt when I’m hiking out my skirtI am sittin’ on a throne while they’re buried in the dirt
For the man that I hate, I am going to hell
Heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells

Please forgive me father
I didn’t mean to bother you
The devil’s in me father
He’s inside of everything I do

For the lives that I take, I am going to hell
For the laws that I break, I am going to hell
For the love that I hate, I am going to hell
For the lies that I make, I am going to hell
For the way I condescend and never lend a hand
My arrogance is making this head buried in the sand

For the souls I forsake, I am going to hell
Married to the devil, you can hear the wedding bells
