You Made Paterson Cry
Unveiling Love's Enigma: You Made Paterson Cry by Dean Omori
Lyrics
And I don't know if love is real
Uncertainty about the authenticity of love.
You gotta trust someone on that
Encouragement to trust someone in matters of love.
They say you broke Paterson's heart
Rumors suggest that someone broke Paterson's heart.
It's the madness we lack
Emphasizing a lack of madness or intensity.
Trust what you feel not what you see
Emphasizing trusting one's feelings over appearances.
This is wine and those are drugs
Reference to indulgence in wine and drugs.
Imagination down and porn fed
Imagination suppressed, influenced by explicit content.
Rudimentary techniques of love
Describing basic or primitive methods of love.
We all know where you live
Assertion that people know where the subject lives.
And I challenge you to die
A challenging or provocative invitation to face mortality.
You hungry out a heart
Suggesting the subject is draining emotions from others.
You made Paterson cry
Direct accusation of making Paterson cry.
Your steinway lit but never played
Reference to an unused Steinway piano, possibly symbolizing neglected potential.
Share my bottle it's alright
Offering to share a bottle, implying camaraderie or solace.
We heard that you cried
Confirmation of hearing about someone crying.
Come feel us die
Evoke emotions of shared vulnerability and mortality.
Where you're from is over
Indication that the past location or origin is concluded.
Paterson is late
Suggesting Paterson is delayed or past its prime.
Where your goin' ain't arrived
Future destination is not yet reached.
And where you're at is up for debate
Current position or situation is open to discussion or argument.
Oh we need mouths to kiss
An expression of the need for affection and connection.
Lovers and lonely know this
Recognition that both those in love and lonely individuals understand certain truths.
Save us in time
An appeal for salvation or help in a timely manner.
Parents be kind
A plea for kindness from parents.
