Lyrics

Said the paper to the pen

Something's burning in the attic
Suggesting an unnoticed or unaddressed issue, possibly metaphorical, hinted at in the attic.
That her tongue will not defend
Her silence or inability to speak is allowing the issue to persist.
Through the arc of conversation
Describing the flow of conversation.
Past the teeth behind the smile
Highlighting the hidden aspects behind a smile, possibly concealing deeper problems.
Down the miracle mile
Referring to a metaphorical journey with challenges, represented by the "miracle mile."
To the bottom of the ladder
Suggesting a descent or struggle, reaching the lowest point.
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
Encouraging a form of self-expression, masking flaws or difficulties.
What's the matter, baby?
Asking about the cause of distress or problems.
Could we go downtown
Suggesting a change or escape from the current situation by going to a different place.
To the middle of the world?
Inviting a journey to a place symbolizing the center of existence or importance.
You were always such a pretty girl
Recalling the past beauty of the person being addressed.
And you told me I was beautiful
Recollection of a compliment, possibly highlighting a contrast with the current situation.
"There's no poetry between us"
Reiterating the absence of a meaningful connection between the two.
Said the paper to the pen
Repeating the metaphorical conversation between paper and pen.
"And I get nothing for my trouble
Expressing dissatisfaction or lack of reward for efforts.
But the ink beneath my skin"
The consequences of emotional investment are only seen as ink under the skin, possibly referring to tattoos.
If your clothes are getting weary
Suggesting weariness in life or relationships.
And your soul's gone out of style
Indicating a loss of authenticity or individuality.
Blame the the Miracle Mile
Attributing blame to the challenges and struggles encountered in life.
And the bottom of the ladder

Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
Encouraging a form of self-expression despite difficulties.
What's the matter, baby?
Repeating the question about the cause of distress.
I'm coming too
Conveying an intention to be a part of the shared experience or challenge.
