Discover the story of the song > The Destruction – carrie: the musical ensemble

The lyrics are about a person (referred to as 'they') who is trying to fit in with others but is constantly ridiculed and mocked. They feel like their mother didn't warn them about the challenges of life. The lyrics reference the biblical story of Adam and Eve, and the protagonist has a romantic partner named Tommy Ross who they hope will bring them home safely. The overall message is one of struggle and the desire to be accepted, but ultimately being betrayed and left to feel alone.
