Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner
Jealousy's Embrace: A Tale of Secrets and Mistakes
Lyrics
Drink down that gin and kerosene
Invoking the imagery of consuming something destructive (gin and kerosene) possibly as a metaphor for self-destructive behavior.
Come spit on bridges with me
Challenging conventions or norms, inviting someone to rebel or defy expectations together.
Just to keep us warm
Engaging in controversial or risky actions to maintain a connection or relationship.
Light a match to leave me be
Desiring to be left alone, potentially through extreme measures like setting oneself on fire metaphorically.
Light a match to leave me be
-I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
Protecting one's own insecurities possessively.
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Recognizing that one's happiness might be built on lies or falsehoods.
Keep quiet
Encouraging silence, possibly hiding inner turmoil or complexities.
Nothing comes as easy as you
Expressing admiration or desire for ease and comfort found in someone else's presence.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Willingness to be a hidden aspect of someone's life despite acknowledging it as a significant mistake.
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-Keep quiet
Reiteration of willingness to maintain secrecy despite recognizing personal failure.
Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
Reasserting possessiveness over jealousy and acknowledging potential dishonesty in claiming happiness.
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
-Drink down that gin and kerosene
Repeating the theme of desiring isolation or being left alone through extreme actions.
Come spit on bridges with me
-Just to keep us warm
-Light a match to leave me be
-Light a match to leave me
-Keep quiet
Repetition of willingness to keep secrets despite understanding the consequences.
Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-Keep quiet
-Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-So wear me like a locket around your throat
Metaphorically representing oneself as a burden or weight on someone else, leading to their discomfort or struggle.
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
-You look so good in blue
-You look so good in blue
-So wear me like a locket around your throat
-I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
-You look so good in blue
-You look so good in blue
-So wear me like a locket around your throat
-I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
-You look so good in blue
-You look so good in blue
-Keep quiet
Continued repetition of the desire for secrecy despite acknowledging personal failure as a constant.
Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-Keep quiet
-Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
-Keep quiet
Final repetition, emphasizing the struggle between maintaining secrecy and accepting one's own mistakes.
Nothing comes as easy as you
-Can I lay in your bed all day?
-I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
-Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
