Clues In Her Lyrics

Go Back to Britney Is Dead
 
Clues to Britney's untimely death occur in most songs on her second and third albums. The following are actual quotes from songs on these albums:

OOPS I DID IT AGAIN:
 
OOPS I DID IT AGAIN

"To lose all my senses, that is just so typically me" - now that she is dead, she has lost all of her senses.
"Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways" - she is acknowledging that she should have driven more carefully
Also, there's a dialogue piece in the middle of the song which is a clear reference to the movie "Titanic", a film about a disaster in which nearly 1500 people died. Yet another death reference.

STRONGER

"My loneliness ain't killing me no more" - why is her loneliness no longer killing her? Because she's dead!
"Here I go, on my own, I don't need nobody, better off alone" - she is going alone to the grave. Also, the line "I don't need nobody" could be "I don't need no body", a reference to her having been decapitated.

DON'T GO KNOCKING ON MY DOOR

The title is self-explanitory. No point knocking on her door, because she's not home, but in the grave.
"You and I, we're like so bye-bye" - Britney's dead, Justin's in a coma. They're both pretty darned 'bye-bye'

SATISFACTION

Okay, obviously this song was written long before Britney's death (about seventeen years before her birth for that matter. God, I'm old!), but the label's decision to use this song was in response to Britney's death.
"When I'm driving in my car and that man comes on the radio/He's telling me more and more about some useless information" - The information she heard on her car radio did her no good, since she died soon after hearing it.

DON'T LET ME BE THE LAST TO KNOW

"I've been waiting so long it hurts" - Britney is waiting for Justin to join her on 'the other side'
"I wanna feel the way you feel" - She longs to be alive with Justin, even if it means being in a coma.

LUCKY

"The world is spinning" - the last sensation Britney had during the accident.
"There's no one there to wake her up" - Britney can't come back from the dead

ONE KISS FROM YOU

"I see the road laid out in front of me" - As her severed head went through the windshield, the road ahead of her was the last thing she saw.
"And when you hold me in your arms, you make me whole" - Why does Britney need to be made whole? Because she's in two pieces.
"I don't wanna hear my time will come/When it feels like it's already here" - An obvious reference to her death.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

"Where are you now, you gotta let me know/Oh baby, so I can let you go" - Britney is crying out from the grave, wondering if Justin survived the accident or not

CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

"If only I could trade the fancy cars for a chance today" - She wishes she hadn't gotten into her mom's fancy car, so that she'd have a chance to live today.
"I have been through changes" - being decapitated is a major change.

DEAR DIARY

"It scares me 'cause I never felt this way" - Well, she's never been dead before
"I could hardly breathe" - her neck was severed

BRITNEY:
 
I'M A SLAVE 4 U
"I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it" - Her replacement is trying to admit the truth about Britney's death.

OVERPROTECTED
"I believe in taking chances" - She was 'taking a chance' in joyriding the night she died.
I don't need nobody tellin me just what I wanna what I what what I'm gonna do about my destiny" - She has no destiny for anyone to tell her about, since she's dead.

LONELY
"Why you screwing with my head?" - This is what Britney was wondering when the police picked her severed head up off the road.

I'M NOT A GIRL, NOT YET A WOMAN
"Now I know life doesn't always go my way" - Obviously.

LET ME BE
"Tell me 'Go Slow' - This is my flow" - Justin urged her to slow down, but she refused, thus causing the accident.

BOMBASTIC LOVE
"I gotta make sure that quickness won't stop me again" - Her replacement will be sure to drive slower.
"everything is still the same and you don't even know my name" - Justin's still in his coma, thus he doesn't know her name
