maggots for brains

About maggots for brains

‘maggots for brains’ is the fourth track off Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album, ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’. Inspired by Sex and The City’s Miranda Hobbes, ‘maggots for brains’ compares lovesickness and codependency to having a rotting brain, being practically catatonic and unable to function properly without her partner. Prior to the release of the album, Rodrigo would tease the lyrics of the song via an encore shirt at Lollapalooza in Chicago. .
