Waste Of Time And Money
Galactic Desires and Sacrificial Love: Electric Six Revelations
Lyrics
Once I saw the galaxies in your Jack and Coke eyes,
Describing the captivating nature of the person's eyes using a metaphor of galaxies in Jack and Coke.
And the sacrificial temple where your monster always dies.
Referring to a place where troubles or problems are faced, symbolized by a sacrificial temple where a metaphorical monster dies.
Once I wrote a gospel out of every word you say,
Expressing the profound impact of the person's words, likened to writing a gospel based on them.
And now you're on the front page of the USA Today.
Highlighting the person's fame by mentioning their appearance on the front page of the USA Today newspaper.
Cutting to the front of the line I find my mind
Feeling out of place and realizing that one's mind is not suitable for raising a family.
Is no place to raise a family.
Expressing the difficulty of finding the person despite searching, only to discover they were always nearby.
And I was looking all over for you, baby.
Conveying the declaration that the person's love is considered a waste of time and money.
You were always right in front of me.
Describing an unusual scenario of raising alpacas with a pet Komodo dragon while living in less than ideal conditions.
And tonight I'm declaring your love to be a waste of time and money.
Relating a drastic sacrifice made for the person, buying a diamond ring, and emphasizing the person's newfound fame.
Once I raised alpacas with your pet Komodo dragon,
Recalling a time of financial struggle and unconventional living arrangements while maintaining a connection with the person.
While I was eating cardboard in my father's station wagon.
Describing a personal sacrifice made for the person, emphasizing their current high-profile status.
Once I sold everything I owned to buy you a diamond ring,
Highlighting the impact of the person's influence on the speaker's life, leading to a suggestion of therapy.
And now you're over at CNN sitting down with Larry King.
Contrasting the friends' advice for therapy with the speaker's belief that they don't understand the depth of the relationship.
After 5 bottles of wine my friends opine that I should consider therapy,
Expressing a realization that life is no longer amusing, possibly due to the challenges posed by the relationship.
But they've clearly never been with you, baby,
Commenting on the idea that any publicity, even negative, is beneficial in a city where moral compromises are common.
They don't know about the things that you've told me,
Connecting the concept of selling one's conscience to achieving flexibility or adaptability in the city.
And tonight I am declaring my life is a joke no longer funny.
Emphasizing resilience and resistance to shocks, possibly related to the theme of compromised values.
All publicity is good publicity
Introducing the idea that any kind of attention or publicity is beneficial, regardless of its nature.
When you sell your conscience in this city
Highlighting the idea of compromising one's principles for success or recognition in the city.
Achieving high elasticity
Emphasizing the ability to adapt and endure challenges, possibly in the context of the compromising nature of city life.
Shock resistant with electricity
Connecting resilience to electricity, possibly symbolizing the shocking nature of compromise and adaptation.
