Cinderella
Halcyon Moments: A Melodic Tale of Love and Afternoons
Lyrics
Coffee on her morning breath with cigarettes and Cinderella
Coffee mixed with the smell of morning cigarettes and the reference to Cinderella, possibly indicating a contrast between fantasy and reality in everyday life.
Slips into her glass slippers, socks in the altogether
Describing someone slipping into elegant shoes (glass slippers) while being casually dressed ("socks in the altogether").
Recline a dining chair for a second I'm convinced she's
Observing the person in a relaxed setting, comparing their posture to an artwork by Wassily Kandinsky, possibly hinting at their messy yet captivating appearance.
A hanging messy masterpiece by Wassily Kandinsky
Close to feeling sick after eating, possibly related to the person's state of mind or physical condition.
Centimetres left of throwing up her second slice of toast
Smoking another cigarette, creating a foggy atmosphere similar to the mysterious nature of the Holy Ghost.
Another rollie fogging up the air like the holy ghost
A relaxed moment together with another person during a difficult or challenging time, possibly referring to a planetary retrograde affecting their lives.
Me, her and the retrograde in a mid-day three-way
Using music to create an atmosphere, with the speaker implying that the person is the DJ in the kitchen.
I flick my Bluetooth speaker on and she's the kitchen DJ
A moment of relaxation and tranquility, enjoying a favorite tune, herbal tea, and engaging in a relaxed state, including references to medication (Valium) and biscuits.
The kettle whistling my favourite tune
-Herbal tea in a red balloon
-We're hanging in the halcyon
-A biscuit and a Valium
-We'll sit and sip and kiss our way through the afternoon
-Drifting through the day in first gear with the handbrake on
Singing favorite songs out of sync, possibly indicating a carefree attitude or enjoying the moment despite personal issues.
Sing the lyrics out of time to our favourite songs
Reflecting on feelings of self-pity but also acknowledging a sense of empowerment or control over one's life, despite external pressures to stress.
I'm full up of self pity but
-My love we run this city
-From the sofa with a coaster I'm supposed to be stressing
-But it's hard to find the heart to when you look a bit like art and who's checking
-Visions fading in your fuzzy freckled pools of ink
-I'm not fickle but I'm flirting with the kitchen sink
-The kettle whistling my favourite tune
Repeating the imagery of relaxation, herbal tea, and medication (Valium), emphasizing the continuity of the tranquil afternoon.
Herbal tea in a red balloon
-We're hanging in the halcyon
-A biscuit and a Valium
-We'll sit and sip and kiss our way through the afternoon
-We'll sit and sip and kiss
Reiteration of the themes of connection, intimacy, shared experiences, and feelings between two individuals, asking about shared emotions and experiences.
And it's dismissive just to plead the fifth
-(Tell me are you feeling this
-Like I'm feeling this?)
-We'll laugh and joke and take a toke
-Is this flames or just a smoke?
-(Tell me are you feeling this
-Like I'm feeling this?)
-We'll open up the sky a bit
-An envelope of cyan it's Blue
-(Are you feeling this
-Like I'm feeling this?)
-The afternoon subsides to evening
-Know you're feeling what I'm feeling
-(Darling that's the way it is
-When we're feeling this)
-The kettle whistling my favourite tune
Final repetition emphasizing the serene atmosphere and a sense of satisfaction or contentment.
Herbal tea in a red balloon
-We're hanging in the halcyon
-A biscuit and a Valium
-We'll sit and sip and kiss our way through the afternoon
-The kettle whistling my favourite tune
-Herbal tea in a red balloon
-We're hanging in the halcyon
-A biscuit and a Valium
-We'll sit and sip and kiss our way through the afternoon
-Ah that is good
