The song "Maybelline" by Babyshambles seems to be about a longing for someone who has moved away. The lyrics express a conflicted feeling of not wanting their love, but still needing it. The mention of Maybelline, a popular makeup brand, could symbolize the superficial and materialistic aspects of the relationship. The line "worth one million in prizes" could represent the idea that the person is valuable and desirable, but also brings some form of dissatisfaction or disappointment. The repetition of "bang bang I'm gone" reflects a sense of finality or detachment. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and confusion about a past relationship and the feelings that remain.
