*MATURE CONTENT* I fell to my knees before her. She couldn't even look at me. I was absolutely lost without her. I kissed the insides of her wrists over the tattoos that were etched in my handwriting.
"I only want two things in this world-you and u...
Hello there! This isn't an actual chapter, but some notes on Nikki's album. I have included the real artists that the songs are by and the lyrics that really connect to Nikki as a character. Some chapters will go into more detail later. I added a short blurb to several songs, as well. Unlike Harry's album, most of it is not centered around him. It's a summary of her life and career. She's closing the chapter to some of the darkest parts of her life and the album ends much lighter than it begins. Her future feels brighter and happier; she ends her album with Harry. <3
Of course, in juxtaposition, his album ends much sadder with "The Dining Table." There will be a whole chapter about that, don't you worry.
If anyone is curious, I picture Nikki to have a voice like Marina Diamandis from Marina and the Diamonds. I see her having a range similar to that of Amy Lee from Evanescence when performing some of the more goth metal style of music that she's famous for.
This album is obviously different and is her first pop/alternative album. The world is getting to see who she is behind the goth aesthetic for the first time since her career started in 2003.

1. "Valley of the Dolls" - Marina and the Diamonds
Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope Built with a heart, broken from the start and now I die slow
In the valley of the dolls, we sleep Got a hole inside of me Living with identities That do not belong to me In my life, I got this far Now I'm ready for the last hoorah Dying like a shooting star In the valley
- Nikki greatly dislikes Los Angeles, especially as far as the entertainment industry is concerned. The 'valley' is referring to LA. She has had a hard enough time growing up and accepting who she and yet she is constantly media trained to act a certain way to convey an image that isn't entirely her.
2. "Shampain" - Marina and the Diamonds
Laid dagger dead inside a lonely bed Trying to hide the hole inside my head Watching the stars slide down to reach the end The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne to forget yesterday 'Cause I remember, the way, the way, the way It ended that day, the day, the day, the day That I walked away, away, away, away
- This will be explained in more detail in a later chapter, specifically when Nikki is prepping for tour. Alexander McQueen was a close friend of hers and he committed suicide in 2010. She was his muse for sometime and custom made all of her tour costumes and even designed some of her stages. Her nickname 'Queen' was actually given to her by McQueen himself. He always tried to make her look and feel like royalty on stage. This song is dedicated to him.
