Lilac Wine
Intoxicating Desires: Eartha Kitt's Lilac Wine Revelations
Lyrics
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I experienced a sense of disorientation or confusion on a cool, damp night.
I gave myself in that misty light
I surrendered myself in the atmospheric, misty light.
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
I was captivated by a peculiar and delightful sensation.
Under a lilac tree
This enchanting experience occurred under a lilac tree.
I made wine from the lilac tree
I created wine using the lilac tree, infusing it with personal emotions.
Put my heart in its recipe
I invested my emotions into the process of making this lilac wine.
It makes me see what I want to see
The lilac wine enables me to perceive what I desire and become who I aspire to be.
And be what I want to be
It facilitates a transformation, allowing me to shape my own reality.
When I think more than I want to think
I tend to overthink, engaging in actions I normally wouldn't.
Do things I never should do
I engage in behaviors that are beyond my usual limits.
I drink much more that I ought to drink
I consume more alcohol than advisable, seeking a connection to a lost love.
Because it brings me back you
This excessive drinking is a way to bring back memories of the person I miss.
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Lilac wine, like my love, is both sweet and intoxicating.
Like my love
The sweetness and headiness of lilac wine mirror the nature of my love.
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
The experience of lilac wine makes me feel unsteady, echoing the instability of my love life.
Like my love
Similar to the effects of my love, lilac wine creates a sense of unsteadiness.
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
I express difficulty in seeing things clearly and question the proximity of someone.
Isn’t that she, coming to me, nearly here
I wonder if the person is approaching, creating uncertainty.
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Lilac wine, reminiscent of my love, is both sweet and heady.
Where’s my love
I inquire about the whereabouts of my love.
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Lilac wine induces a feeling of unsteadiness, mirroring the state of my love.
Where’s my love
I express the absence of my love and the resulting instability.
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
I question the clarity of everything around me, expressing confusion.
Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear
I wonder if the approaching figure is the person I seek, or if I am losing my sanity.
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Lilac wine makes me feel unprepared for the love I seek.
Feel unready, for my love
I am not ready or prepared for the love that I desire.
