Lyrics
I was a pauper
I had little wealth or status
I was second class
I held a lower position or importance
I was a moment
I existed briefly without lasting impact
That quickly passed
I was fleeting and easily gone
I was a gambler gambled on you
I took a risk or chance on you
Rain shone and the sun poured through
Despite difficulties (rain), there were moments of brightness (sun)
Wind whistled a whispered word it was true
There were subtle indications (whispered word) that were truthful
The world is a stage that revolves around you
You are the central focus of the world
How are you feeling
How do you feel emotionally
On this broken day
On this troubled or difficult day
Where are you heading
Where are you going in life
I heard you lost your way
I heard you've lost your direction or purpose
How is your mind is it still confused
Is your mind still unclear or troubled
Has anyone told you you're being used
Has anyone informed you that you're being taken advantage of
You're fighting a battle that you're going to lose
You're engaged in a futile struggle
The world was a stage that revolved around you
The world used to revolve around you (emphasis on past)
I said to the blazing moon
Speaking metaphorically to the moon about aspirations
I want to be what I want to be
Expressing desire for personal freedom or identity
You said that your aim in life
You mentioned your life goal was to achieve freedom
Was o break through and be free
You gifted me something valuable (diamond), questioning its purpose
You bought me a diamond
I stole money for you, assuming you lacked it
What's that for
Repeated from line 5, reiterating the risk taken on the person
I stole you some money
Similar to line 6, describing moments of brightness amid difficulties
Because I thought you were poor
Accusing the person of wanting something without giving in return
Yes I was a gambler gambled on you
Repeated from line 5, reiterating the risk taken on the person
Rain shone and the sun poured through
Similar to line 6, describing moments of brightness amid difficulties
Wind whistled a whispered word it was true
There were subtle indications (whispered word) that were truthful
Want something for nothing lady that's you
You desire to gain without offering anything in return
