'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel
Embracing Frugality: Unveiling the Emotional Depths of 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel'
Lyrics
It's the kind of night that's so cold, when you spit
It's an extremely cold night, where saliva freezes before reaching the ground.
It freezes before it hits the ground
Highlighting the harshness of the cold weather.
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar
Generosity towards a beggar, suggesting a sense of empathy.
If he's out tonight, he must be truly down
Suspecting the beggar's dire situation if out in such severe conditions.
And I'm searching all the windows for a last minute present
Actively searching for a last-minute gift to validate a previous statement.
To prove to you what I said was real
Seeking tangible proof for something previously asserted.
For something small and frail and plastic baby
Desiring a small, delicate, and artificial gift, perhaps symbolizing emotional fragility.
Cause' cheap is how I feel
Expressing a preference for inexpensive items, possibly reflecting a feeling of emotional thriftiness.
Half a moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
Observing a half moon, possibly symbolizing incompleteness or a partial view.
To come up with an answer
Suggesting the brightness of the moon as a source of answers.
To the question, why is it that every time I see you
Pondering a recurring question about the intensity of love upon seeing someone.
My love grows a little stronger
Expressing the growth of love despite conflicting emotions.
But your memory leaves my stomach churning
Unpleasant feelings associated with memories, possibly hinting at deception.
Feeling like a lie about to be revealed
Feeling like a concealed truth that may be exposed.
But I'll horde all this to myself
Choosing to keep these emotions hidden, possibly due to a frugal emotional disposition.
Cause' cheap is how I feel
Reiterating a preference for cost-effectiveness in emotions or expressions.
It's not the smell in here that gets to me, it's the lights
Disliking the artificial atmosphere created by lights rather than odors.
How I hate the shadows that they cast
Expressing a disdain for the shadows cast by these lights.
And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
Identifying the consistent presence of clinking bottles, possibly symbolizing past regrets.
I'll always drag with me from my past
Anticipating carrying burdens from the past, represented by the sound.
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight, to fall into
Seeking solace in the gaze of another person, potentially for distraction or comfort.
And maybe strike a deal
Contemplating a transaction involving emotional exchange.
Your body for my soul, fair swap
Suggesting a willingness to trade physical intimacy for inner peace.
Cause' cheap is how I feel
Reiterating a preference for emotional thriftiness or simplicity.
