Little Picture
Unveiling Love's Palette: Arthur Dove's Little Picture Insights
Lyrics
I know nothing about it
I lack knowledge or information about a certain subject.
I turned my thinking on to make sure it's aligned with yours
I consciously directed my thoughts to ensure they align with yours.
I'm obviously doubtful how could anyone
I express skepticism, finding it hard to believe anyone could...
Turn my opinion around
...change my opinion.
I'm trying to understand what all the fuss is about
I am attempting to comprehend the reasons for all the commotion.
If I admit to myself I built my love around
If I acknowledge that I constructed my love based on...
All the lovers paint a pretty little picture inside my head
All the lovers create an idealized image in my mind.
while all the other ones pick a little image out for themselves
Others choose a distinct image for themselves.
I'm willfully uninformed on many matters
I deliberately choose to remain uninformed on many matters.
but the words come tumbling through
Despite this, words still come to me spontaneously.
I know I'm only human but I'm proudly infallible
I acknowledge my humanity but assert my pride in being infallible.
and while you're trying to understand what all the fuss is about
While you attempt to grasp the reasons for the commotion.
If I could think for myself would I build my love around
If I had the ability to think independently...
All the lovers paint a pretty little picture inside my head
All the lovers create an idealized image in my mind.
while all the other ones pick a little image out for themselves
Others choose a distinct image for themselves.
I know nothing but I know it all
I may lack knowledge, but paradoxically, I feel like I know everything.
and if I am wrong, I'm only human
If I make a mistake, I recognize that it is a human trait.
I'll turn my opinion around
I am willing to change my opinion.
I'll try to understand what all the fuss about
I will try to understand the reasons for the commotion.
I'll think for myself and build my love around
I will think independently and construct my love accordingly.
All the lovers paint a pretty little picture inside my head
Others choose a distinct image for themselves.
while all the other ones pick a little image out for themselves
(End of the lyrics, repeating the theme of idealized images and individual choices)
