Dark Sunglasses
Embracing Illusory Glamour: Dark Sunglasses' Meaning
Lyrics
Baby get your groove back, another kind of life,
Baby, regain your confidence and vitality; embrace a different lifestyle.
One you think that you deserve.
This new life is one you believe you should have.
Nothing you should lack, now reverting back the time,
You lack nothing; revisit the past without worrying about losing courage.
Never mind you lost your nerve.
Disregard the fact that you may have lost confidence.
Yeah you had a go at sleeping in the van
You tried living in a van, but you couldn't commit fully.
But you couldn't let it go too far.
However, you restrained yourself from going too far.
Now you got a pension plan
Now you have a stable retirement plan.
And your name's on the insurance
Your name is on insurance policies.
And you can drive another woman's car.
You can even drive another woman's car.
A kind of glamour
There's a certain allure
You can lend yourself
You can adapt and present yourself as sophisticated.
Like dark sunglasses
Similar to the way one wears dark sunglasses.
And you'll remember
You'll recall how pleasurable it felt.
How good it tasted
Especially within the privileged or elite classes.
Inside the ruling classes
It's a decadent experience, hidden behind your dark sunglasses.
Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses
She's got a ball gown for charities and such,
She possesses elegant attire for charitable events.
Like a debutante from days gone by.
Resembling a debutante from a bygone era.
Shavin', wearin' a tie, isn't sacrificing much,
Shaving and wearing a tie are not significant sacrifices.
You lucky guy, you can still get high.
You, fortunate man, can still experience euphoria.
But, yes sir, no sir, someday we'll be there,
But, in the future, you'll reach that status.
You only have to please that lady.
Your only obligation is to please that lady.
Think anything you like, but be careful what you say,
Think freely, but be cautious with your words for a pleasant night and day.
For another warm night, another dry day.
A kind of glamour
A certain allure
You can lend yourself
You can present yourself with sophistication.
Like dark sunglasses
Like wearing dark sunglasses.
And you'll remember
You'll reminisce about the pleasure it brought.
How good it tasted
The privileged classes indulged in decadence.
The ruling classes wasted
Hidden behind your dark sunglasses.
Behind your dark sunglasses
I'm not towing the line
I'm not conforming to expectations.
You'll be fine
You'll be okay without adhering strictly to norms.
I'm not towing the line
I'm not conforming to expectations.
A kind of glamour
A certain allure
You can lend yourself
You can present yourself with sophistication.
Like dark sunglasses
Like wearing dark sunglasses.
And you'll remember
You'll reminisce about the pleasure it brought.
How good it tasted
The privileged classes
The ruling classes
A kind of glamour
A certain allure
You can lend yourself
You can present yourself with sophistication.
Like dark sunglasses
Like wearing dark sunglasses.
And you'll remember
You'll reminisce about the pleasure it brought.
How good it tasted
Inside the privileged classes
Inside the ruling classes
It's a decadent experience, hidden behind your dark sunglasses.
Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses
Wasted, within the privileged classes, concealed by dark sunglasses.
Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses
