"[The Dresden Dolls] electrify audiences with their lusty
sets, merging the playful eroticism of Weimar-era German
cabaret with the intensity of modern rock opera. To call
their performances provocative would be an understatement.

Review about The Dresden Dolls always been my favorite | Reviewer: Torr
------ About the song Gravity performed by The Dresden Dolls
I think we've LOST her!
I adore this song. I always thought it was about society trying to push girls to use their body to get what they want in life (getting too familiar with the floor, trading in my talents by the mouthful) or be perfect (posture!).
Name usage, general review | Reviewer: Anna
------ About the song Dear Jenny performed by The Dresden Dolls
Angry Jenny,
Get over it. I have to put up with my name being used in horrid contexts, and unfortunately it seems to be popular with recent b-movie quality horror.
The name use gives it the feel of a cheesy 50's perfect world picture, and it sounds upbeat, which of course fits the tune but clashes with the meaning.

I really love sarcastic songs. The Dresden Dolls have many, which makes me happy. <3
It kind of seems like its' about how the world sucks from a general view, and then how when some try to help, they just make things more difficult.
Amazing | Reviewer: ihasnoname
------ About the song Gravity performed by The Dresden Dolls
I love this song. I think it seems to be about a car crash caused by drunk driving, i guess. There are references to that everywhere :)
However, Amanda said somewhere that she didn't actually know what it was about, so yeah, it's all down to what you think.
Haha the piano part is easy once you get going :)
The Sky Falls on me.. | Reviewer: Ema
------ About the song Gravity performed by The Dresden Dolls
I think this song is more along the lines of someone being pulled over for drunk driving. The part where amanda talks about posture, right foot, left foot, reminds me of someone trying to keep balnace while under the influence. And the part where she pleads for the officer is like someone trying to avoid his punishment for driving while intoxicated...tose were just my interprtations, but it is a really great, deep song, and I love it...
love | Reviewer: kizzy
------ About the song Sing performed by The Dresden Dolls
I l ove love love the dresden dolls and it just makes me sad that they barely even get radio play here (sd) but nonetheless... they are amazing and i love this song.
i rarely ever get teary and i not much of a crier but this song is just so... i dont even know, brillant, it just makes me kinda want to cry.
why dont we all just sing?
This is what i've come to interpret it as. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls
This song makes me think about my drug addiction. jack is the 'addict' part of my personality and i just with i could rid myself of him. sacrificing my body to get the 'jack' part out would be going to rehab.
Heres a morbid interpretation no ones gone for | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls
When I first heard this song I thought it was the musings of the product of a rape, especially If you've seen the video, because its a little girl trying to help an older woman (in the past) from being accosted by "jack" who isn't a man but a monster. It really makes me believe this when she says "But I'd sacrafice my body, If It meant I'd get the jack part out" In the video her 'mom' is killing herself and the girl is killing jack. But, I saw the dedication to her father that Amanda wrote on their site.

------ About the song Coin-Operated Boy performed by The Dresden Dolls
This song make me sad. but it also makes me happy with hope. it makes me feel not so alone. i have a prefect picture of someone but will i have the courage to let go of that just to see if there is someone real? the someone just for me...
One of my favs | Reviewer: k
------ About the song Gravity performed by The Dresden Dolls
I trying to learn this on piano and have a great idea for a video. To me this song is about society trying to push an unique individual into a life mediocrity, and the person chooses to fight it despite the outcome possibly turning out for the worse. Why not try for something you want and risk breaking your neck instead living a life where you can die unfulfilled as a certainty.
I love this!! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls
I also assumed this song was about self harm... Biting nails huh? Ive noticed that most of Amandas songs have double meanings tho... Nonetheless, I love it. I have this bad habit too so its comforting.
Missed Me <3 | Reviewer: LRainbow~

------ About the song The Kill performed by The Dresden Dolls
ok i just want to say i have listened to the song many time and the part right here....I have a tendency
To exaggerate
Just a little bit
I am a plagiarist
Apologist
A lawless calculator

A closeted misogynist
I fought the British and I won
I have a wishing well
A living will
A magical eight ball
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
is wrong its not A lawless calculator the real thing she says there is a walrus cokehead lizard so that needs to be changed but other then that they are perfect!
Anthem for the Broken-Hearted Female | Reviewer: Angelique
------ About the song The Jeep Song performed by The Dresden Dolls
For "Paint it Black," I don't think she was inspired by the Rolling Stones song but, since she saw all of the black trucks, she wanted the red ones to be black, too, so it could be a possibility of him driving by.
This song is, basically, my theme song.
Half Jack | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls
Guys... why can't it be about both? Why can't she be talking about both the father aspect and the gender aspect in the same song with the same words? I think that's what this is. And really, it's not about what I think it's about what YOU think.
I Get All My Bad Habits From Watching You | Reviewer: L
------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls
Well, let's try and ignore the fact that I've just used lyrics from a different song as my title (I've been listening to that particular song for a couple of days and it seems to fit at the moment), and go into my comment =].
I'm 17, just to let you all know. It really doesn't matter, but hey - age seems to be a big factor in most of the comments written. Oh - and to that 11 year old grammar freak ... I think I'm in love. Not in the creepy pedophilia way, just ... well, I'm a grammar freak too! I get so annoyed when people write comments and insult people all the while making themselves look like complete idiots because they suck at grammar. So kudos to you ^_^.
And this song ... It may not be about cutting, but people who have experienced it are going to interpret it that way, and people who bite the skin around their nails will interpret it in relation to that. Art is all about interpretation ^_^. I myself relate it to self mutilation (I'm not 'emo' at all, just to let you know ... and I was also 11 when I started that too, so really age has nothing to do with it - everyone has their reasons ... although I couldn't really find a reason -__-. To this day I'm not sure what it was that made me wake up some days and just be completely down and disconnected. I'd like to point out that I'm 7 months 'clean' though!) ... geez, long bracket. I apologise. I like the 'anonymous' factor of this commenting thing ^_^.
I've always love the Amanda's lyrics, and this song is no exception =].
Never thought of it as a divorce song | Reviewer: Grachel
------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls
I always saw it as a break up song between friends. How some people return things they gave to each other after an ending relationship the parts of the world could symbolize CDs or dining plates.
To the part of "split between parents" at a certain time in most relationships when they get serious the parents are met and not all women hate their step mother's. Like everyone else I was a divorce kid but I didn't immediately see that in this song.
dude... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls
this songs cool. if jack is her father, then jill must be her mom. but jack might not be someone she wants around. she might not want that half of her so she does what she can to get it out. but, this song could also mean two personalities. eh. i just listen to it cause amanda's voice is cool sounding.

------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls
SOME RANDOM SNOB SAID:
"as for that eleven year old, you're just plain emo! and don't express your love for a royal class music such as this if you don't even understand it. i suppose with you're brain capacity i should put it this way, shut the hell up!"
Lovely. I am sorry that we cannot all be as "royal class" as you are you little *insertbadwordhere* . Way to go, insult the "emo" eleven-year-olds brain capacity, with people like you why does anyone even bother offer their opinion?
If you fail to realize how a preteen could have such good taste I wonder what kind of eleven-year-old you were? Still in diapers and watching barney, perhaps?
*being a grammar nerd i cannot help but notice your misuse of the word "you're", being the 'o incredibly smart and royal class person that you are.*
a hormone-fueled rant on all you snobby old people | Reviewer: i am emoteen, hear me roar
------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls
Just reading the reviews...personally I love this song, but being 13 I guess that it is too COMPLICATED for me to understand, way over my head.
I started listening to the Dresden Dolls when I was 11, if you have problems with preteens listening to something that is not the popular crap off the radio then you obviously think that everyone was just as stupid a teenager as you were. Hey, maybe you wouldn't of understood this song as an 11 year old and maybe some other 11 year olds DO understand it, (isnt that an amazing idea!) you don't have to be so snobby about it.
I bet you are the same people that think Coin Operated Boy is about a sex toy and think that it is WAY too mature a topic for 11 year olds.
Lots of people misunderstand this song, no matter how old they are.
Let the young un's have their crappy pop music...
*just letting my emo teen spirit out on yall...run and hide, everyone! its the emooooooooooooooooooteeeeeeeeeen*
