Lyrics
It melts his face
TV Tom's face is affected emotionally or physically.
It's all he does
Watching TV is his primary activity or focus.
Oh And TV Tom
Addressing a person named TV Tom.
It melts his flesh you know all he does
His flesh is emotionally affected by watching TV.
Sitting down
Tom is sitting down, engaged in a sedentary activity.
He's counting posies now
He is preoccupied with counting flowers.
He mutes the TV
Tom mutes the TV, shifting attention to a record player.
So the record player makes its sounds
The record player provides the primary auditory experience.
The song hits like it's made for him
The music resonates with him, as if tailor-made.
It tells him so, she loves him still
The song suggests love and affection directed at Tom.
Oh and TV tom
Reiteration of TV Tom's name and activity.
Sitting down
Tom remains seated, maintaining a consistent posture.
He's counting posies now
Continued focus on counting flowers.
He mutes the TV
TV is muted again, emphasizing the record player's role.
So the record player makes its sounds
Repetition of the record player's impact.
The song hits like it's made for him
Emphasizes the personalized connection with the music.
It tells him so, she loves him still
Reaffirmation of love conveyed through the song.
And TV Tom
Final mention of TV Tom, bringing closure.
Sitting down counting posies by the record player
Detailed description of Tom's activity with flowers and music.
Just sits and stares at the muted television
Tom fixates on the muted TV while surrounded by stillness.
Static plays and her face appears on the screen
The TV shows static, triggering a sensory memory of a person.
Her scent enters the room
A sensory experience is heightened with the entry of a scent.
It melts his face
Continuation of the emotional impact on Tom's face.
