The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Dollhouse" by the artist "Weeknd Lily-Rose Depp, The"

In the song "Dollhouse", The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp depict a toxic, co-dependent relationship. The female protagonist describes the duality of her existence: on one hand, she craves freedom and independence, singing "In another life / I roam wherever I want", on the other hand, she's trapped in a "dollhouse" created by her partner.

This "dollhouse" symbolizes an artificial, controlled world where the protagonist is beautiful and desired ("dressed up, perfect"), yet stripped of her own will and subject to manipulation. The imagery of "blindfold", "choked neck", and "collar" emphasize the suffocating, dominant nature of the relationship.

The protagonist recognizes her dependence but cannot break free from her partner's hold. She feels like she's drowning in the "aquarium" of his love, losing herself in the "murky water" of lies and manipulations.

The chorus "Torture me 'til I fall asleep. Paint the air that I breathe" conveys the protagonist's masochistic desire to completely dissolve into her partner, even at the cost of her own identity.

The final dialogue, where she calls her partner "daddy" and asks "Am I doing good?", reinforces the impression of an unhealthy power dynamic, where one manipulates and the other plays along.
