Flower Fight With Morrissey
Unveiling the Mask of Vanity: Cherry Poppin' Daddies' Provocative Narrative
Lyrics
Hurt your pride staggered into bed
Feeling emotionally wounded, stumbled into bed
And fell asleep by your side
Fell asleep beside you
Gone all night numbing my brutality
Spent the night trying to numb my own harshness or cruelty
You sleep with your back to mine
You're sleeping with your back turned away from me
Vanity fair, vanity fair
Referencing a shallow or superficial society
It's all a game for us. A come on
Life is like a game, a façade to avoid being aware of deeper issues
To remain unaware
Encouragement to ignore reality and stay oblivious
Open your eyes hook up your hair
Suggesting someone to wake up and fix their appearance
Paint on a face for all the good times
Putting on a false front for enjoyable moments
Like a sign that you care
Symbolic of showing care through superficial gestures
Everybody's got so many things to say
Observation that everyone has opinions and criticisms
I can make a face and take off
Capable of pretending or putting on a different face
Hate me I don't care
Indifference towards being hated or disliked
Time your strike, strike your prime
Timing one's actions at the peak moment
Forget it the piñata is too high
Metaphorically, giving up on reaching something unattainable
Right your right, people are revolting
Recognizing societal discontent or rebellion
The resiliency of the doomed is nice
Resilience of those facing inevitable failure or downfall
Vanity fair, vanity fair
Reference to the shallowness of society (repeated)
It's all a game for us. A come on
Life portrayed as a game to remain unaware (repeated)
To remain unaware
Suggesting to stay oblivious to deeper issues (repeated)
Open your eyes hook up your hair
Suggesting someone to wake up and fix their appearance (repeated)
Paint on a face for all the good times
Putting on a false front for enjoyable moments (repeated)
Like a sign that you care
Symbolic of showing care through superficial gestures (repeated)
Everybody's got so many things to say
Observation about the abundance of opinions and criticisms (repeated)
I can make a face and take off
Ability to pretend or adopt a different persona (repeated)
Hate me I don't care
Indifference towards being disliked (repeated)
Open your eyes hook up your hair
Suggesting someone to wake up and fix their appearance (repeated)
Paint on a face for all the good times
Putting on a false front for enjoyable moments (repeated)
Like a sign that you care
Symbolic of showing care through superficial gestures (repeated)
I had to face your make-up face
Confronted with someone's artificial or deceptive appearance
I had to face your make-up face
Repeated exposure to someone's false or deceptive appearance
I had to face your make-up face
Continued experience with someone's artificial or deceptive appearance
Your make-up face
Repetition of encountering someone's artificial or deceptive appearance
