Scene of a Perfect Crime
Unveiling the Stolen Innocence: Decoding Concrete Blonde's Perfect Crime
Lyrics
My eyes are jaded and complicated,
Expressing weariness and complexity in one's perception.
Tired of the liars and the masqueraded
Frustration with deceitful individuals and those who hide their true selves.
Who steals our innocence away,
Questioning the forces that rob people of their innocence.
Like a thief in the night?
Metaphorically addressing the sudden loss of something valuable.
Who took away our faith in what we know to be right?
Reflecting on the erosion of faith in what is morally right.
That was another world, then
Nostalgia for a past era, emphasizing its distinctiveness.
That was another time
Highlighting the irreversibility of time.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
Stating that revisiting a perfect crime scene is impossible.
Whatever became of the child I was
Pondering the transformation from childhood innocence.
I never want to lose her no
Commitment to preserving the essence of one's inner child.
I won't give her up
Determination not to let go of the childlike qualities.
And now my heart is harder,
Describing emotional fortification and resilience.
My skin is getting tougher and tougher
Physical toughening as a response to life's challenges.
That was another world then
Reiterating the unattainable nature of the past.
That was another time
Emphasizing the temporal distance from a particular moment.
You can never go back to the place where love is blind
Declaring the impossibility of returning to a love that was blind.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
Reiterating the impossibility of revisiting a perfect crime scene.
Whatever became of our sweet blind love
Reflecting on the evolution of an initially naive love.
As long as we could be together it was more than enough
Contentment with togetherness in the past.
Now we're all grown up and we need so much
Acknowledging increased needs and complexities in adulthood.
I never knew that the price would go up as such
Surprise at the unexpected high cost of experience.
That was another world then, then
Reemphasizing the irretrievable nature of the past.
That was another time
Highlighting the distinctiveness of a bygone era.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Asserting the impossibility of returning to blindly trusting love.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Repeating the theme of the inaccessibility of a naive love.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Reiterating the inability to revisit a love that was blind.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
Restating the impossibility of returning to a perfect crime scene.
