The song "White Wedding" by Janet Devlin is actually a cover of the original song performed by Billy Idol. The lyrics depict a conversation between two individuals, primarily focusing on a "little sister" and her relationships. The song starts with the narrator addressing the little sister and questioning her actions and choices. The repeated line "Hey little sister, who's your Superman?" suggests that the sister may be looking for someone strong or dependable to rely on. The chorus, "It's a nice day to start again, it's a nice day for a white wedding," indicates that the narrator believes that today is a good day for a fresh start or new beginning. The idea of a "white wedding" symbolizes purity, innocence, and a clean slate. The lyrics continue with the narrator asking the sister who she is currently with and what her desires or vices are. The line "shotgun" is likely an expression meaning "quickly" or "right now." As the song progresses, the narrator hints at a long absence, suggesting that they have been away for an extended period of time. The line "I've been away for so long, I let you go for so long" implies that the narrator may have neglected their relationship with the sister. The bridge of the song emphasizes the harsh reality of the world, highlighting that nothing is fair, safe, or certain. Despite this, the narrator encourages the sister to look for something positive and start again. Overall, "White Wedding" portrays a sense of longing, regret, and the desire for a fresh start.
