Satin Pillows
Satin Pillows: Love Lost in Wealth's Embrace
Lyrics
Satin pillows to cry on
Satin pillows serve as a comfort for emotional expression.
Satin pillows to cry on
Reiteration of the emotional solace provided by satin pillows.
You've got nothing else to rely on
Highlighting the absence of alternative sources of support.
You gave up the most precious thing in life
Regret over sacrificing a valuable aspect of life.
You turned from love to be a rich man's wife
Choosing wealth over love, expressing a sense of loss.
The man you married is colder than all his gold
Describing the emotional detachment of the spouse.
You're something he bought to keep from growing old
Viewing oneself as a possession acquired to avoid aging.
Now you've got satin pillows to cry on
Continuation of the theme of relying on satin pillows for solace.
Satin pillows to cry on
Reiteration of the emotional reliance on satin pillows.
You've got nothing else to rely on
Emphasizing the lack of alternative support.
And you've got fancy dresses and big cars
Listing material possessions acquired, indicating affluence.
Diamonds that outshine the brightest stars
Describing luxurious items that cannot replace lost love.
But diamonds can't replace the love we knew
Acknowledging the inability of diamonds to substitute past love.
They won't keep you warm like my arms used to
Comparing the warmth of past love to the inadequacy of possessions.
Now you've got satin pillows to cry on
Reiteration of finding solace in satin pillows after loss.
Satin pillows to cry on
Highlighting the continued reliance on satin pillows for comfort.
You've got nothing else to rely on
Emphasizing the absence of alternative sources of support.
Satin pillows to cry on
Repetition of finding solace in satin pillows.
Satin pillows to cry on.
Concluding the theme of relying on satin pillows for emotional expression.
