Worse Than a Fairy Tale
Temptation Unveiled: Shadows of Seduction in 'Worse Than a Fairy Tale'
Lyrics
Call me a temptress.
The speaker is being labeled as a temptress.
Call me a whore.
They're also being called a whore, likely derogatory.
That's just a price tag.
Reference to being objectified, but they reject being for sale.
I'm not for sale.
They assert their worth beyond any price.
Don't be so obvious.
Advising against being too obvious, as it's unattractive.
It's so unattractive, you know.
Pointing out that being overly obvious is unattractive.
You're singing in your sleep.
Someone is unknowingly revealing things while asleep.
This won't feel all right at all in the morning.[x2]
Actions in the moment might lead to regret later.
But I still have your kiss and your soft skin.[x3]
Despite potential regret, memories of affection remain.
You're singing in your sleep.
Reiteration of someone revealing things unconsciously during sleep.
This won't feel all right at all in the morning.[x2]
Actions leading to likely regret in the morning.
Don't play detective now.
Discouraging someone from investigating further; a mystery remains.
You can try, but you won't find a trace.
No matter the effort, finding clues won't be possible.
It's a sin to have these eyes.
Feeling sinful for possessing revealing eyes.
Well, God blessed me with good taste.
Expressing gratitude for having good taste as a blessing.
The shadows come from under the ground,
Metaphorical description of a mysterious, seductive force at night.
They sweep you off your feet.
-As soon as the sun sets,
-The fucking earth sinks.
-You're singing in your sleep.
Repetition of the potential regret in the morning due to actions.
This won't feel all right at all in the morning.[x4]
-The shadows come from under the ground,
Reiteration of the mysterious, captivating nature of the night.
They sweep you off your feet.
-As soon as the sun sets,
-The fucking earth sinks.
