Soft Core
Twisted Desires: Unraveling the Psyche in Dusty Springfield's 'Soft Core'
Lyrics
You brush by me and my whole facade just melts
You passing by causes my emotional mask to disintegrate.
You seem a bit twisted but that makes me more intrigued
Your complexity intrigues me, even though it may be unconventional.
You drag yourself through a maze of alcohol and neon lies
You navigate a challenging path filled with alcohol-induced illusions.
Can't seem to hold on to your love
I struggle to maintain a grasp on your love.
I'm sick of being submissive when I really want to scream
I'm tired of suppressing my true feelings when I want to express myself.
I know this is just a psychopathic dream
I recognize that this might be a delusional or unrealistic fantasy.
You leave me lying with my head in my hands
You leave me in a state of distress and contemplation.
You've got blood in your eyes
You display aggression or intensity in your gaze.
Can't seem to understand your love
I struggle to comprehend your love.
I'm not the vindictive kind, you bring that out in me
I'm not naturally vengeful, but your actions provoke such feelings in me.
I've been inflicted with a lot of pain, you see
I've experienced a significant amount of pain due to our relationship.
I'm so frustrated, want to tear my hair out
I feel intense frustration, wishing to express my emotions forcefully.
Can't seem to get a grip on your love
I struggle to maintain control or understanding of your love.
You deny me and my self-esteem just dies
Your rejection diminishes my self-worth.
You like to lash out when I dare to criticize
You react strongly when I voice criticism.
You drag yourself through a maze of drugs and alibis
You involve yourself in a complex web of substance use and excuses.
Can't seem to understand your love
I struggle to comprehend your love.
I want to shout it, want to shout it
I have the urge to vocalize my feelings strongly.
Tear my hair out
I feel the desire to express my frustration intensely.
I want to swear up and down
I want to express my emotions strongly and emphatically.
Tear my hair out
I feel the urge to release my frustration intensely.
Can't seem to understand your love
I struggle to comprehend your love.
