Party Dress
Fading Hues: Revelations in a Party Dress
Lyrics
Got a secret I wanna tell you
Expressing a desire to share a secret
You're not invited to my party anymore
Exclusion from the speaker's gathering or circle
I got something I wanna show you
Wanting to display something important
Gave you my number, said "I'm bored"
Past interaction where the speaker provided their number out of boredom
Left it up to fate and you said that you'd call me back
Leaving the outcome to chance regarding a promised return call
You said you'd call me back
Reiteration of expecting a call back
Left it up to fate and put on my party dress
Leaving things to fate while dressing up for a party, despite knowing the other person's disapproval
'Cause I knew you wouldn't like that
Awareness that the other person wouldn't appreciate the speaker's choice of attire
And you're so blue
Describing the other person's emotional state as sad or melancholic
We're just waiting on the day that you can open up your eyes
Anticipating a time when the other person will understand the truth or reality
And come through
Hoping for the other person to finally act or arrive
I don't mean to be rude
Acknowledging the potential rudeness in their words or actions
But I can tell that when you're talking it's not true
Observing dishonesty in the other person's speech
I know that we should take a back-track
Suggesting the need to reconsider previous actions before things fall apart
Hit rewind before it comes undone
Reflecting on the desire to reverse time to prevent a situation from worsening
Never got the timing right
Expressing regret for consistently mistimed actions
And I always thought that you would be my one
Belief that the other person was expected to be a significant romantic partner
Left it up to fate and you said that you'd call me back
Similar situation as in line 6, reiterating the expectation of a return call
You said you'd call me back
Repetition of the anticipation for a call back
Left it up to fate and put on my party dress
Repeating the act of leaving things to chance while dressing for a party despite the other person's expected disapproval
'Cause I knew you wouldn't like that
Awareness that the other person won't approve of the speaker's attire choice
And you're so blue
Reiterating the melancholic or sad state of the other person
We're just waiting on the day that you can open up your eyes
Waiting for the other person to finally understand and act
And come through
Hopeful anticipation of the other person's arrival or change
I don't mean to be rude
Acknowledging a potential offensive tone in their observations
But I can tell that when you're talking it's not true
Observing the lack of truth in the other person's words
I don't mean it
Repetition emphasizing a lack of sincerity or intention
I don't mean it
-I don't mean it
-Mean it
-Left it up to fate and you said that you'd call me back
Repeating the expectation of a call back left to fate
You never call me back
Expressing disappointment over not receiving the promised call back
Left it up to fate and put on my party dress
Repeating the act of leaving things to chance while dressing for a party despite the other person's disapproval, due to the person's stated dislike
'Cause you said you didn't like that
Awareness that the other person doesn't approve of the speaker's choice of attire
And you're so blue
Reiterating the other person's melancholic or sad state
We're just waiting on the day that you can open up your eyes
Waiting for the other person to understand and act truthfully
And come through
Hopeful anticipation of the other person's arrival or change
I don't mean to be rude
Acknowledging the potential rudeness in their words or observations
But I can tell that when you're talking it's not true
Observing the lack of truth in the other person's words or expressions
