Crystal Chandeliers
Shattered Elegance: Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony of Crystal Chandeliers
Lyrics
Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up
The elegant crystal chandeliers illuminate the surroundings
The paintings on the wall
Artworks displayed on the walls
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
Beautiful marble sculptures positioned grandly in the corridor
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Will the company of people who make you laugh also support you in times of sadness?
Help you dry your tears
Will these individuals help console you when you're upset?
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers
When the novelty or excitement fades from these luxurious elements in your life
I never did fit in too well
I never quite belonged in the circles of people you associated with
With folks you knew
With individuals you were acquainted with
And it's plain to see
It's evident
That the likes of me
People like me
Don't fit with you
Don't fit in your social group
So you traded me
So you exchanged me
For the gaiety of the well to do
For the lively and wealthy social scene
And you turned away from the love
You turned away from the affection I offered you
I offered you
Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up
The grand chandeliers continue to shine
The paintings on the wall
Artworks remain on display
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
Statues stand elegantly in the hallway
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Will the social circle that brings you joy in the present also offer solace in tough times?
Help you dry your tears
Can they help comfort you when you're upset?
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers
When the novelty diminishes from your luxurious possessions
I see your picture in the news most
I frequently see your image in the media
Every day
Almost daily
You're the chosen one
You're portrayed as someone exceptional
Of this ocean well
Of this wealthy and privileged society
So the story says
As the story goes
Love will paint a smile
Love's happiness is temporary
Only lasts a while
It doesn't endure for long
And it fades away
It fades away
And the love you knew will come home to you some day
The affection you once knew will return to you eventually
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up
The painting on the wall
The splendid chandeliers continue to illuminate
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
Artworks on display persist
But will the type of crowd that has you laughing loud
Statues stand grandly in the hallway
Help you dry your tears
Will the current social circle be there for you during moments of distress?
When the new wears off on your crystal chandeliers
Can they console you when the novelty of opulence fades?
