To Each His Own
Embracing Individuality: To Each His Own
Lyrics
You say some day, oh baby let's get away, Me,
You suggest a future escape, but I prefer to stay home, everyone has their own choices.
I'll stay at home, to each his own Blackbird o
Comparing oneself to a blackbird on a wire, emphasizing individuality and independence.
n the wire leave something to be desired,
The blackbird on the wire lacks something, suggesting dissatisfaction or unfulfilled desires.
This bird hasn't flown, to each his own
A metaphorical bird that hasn't flown, reinforcing the idea of personal limitations or unexplored potential.
Where in the world would you ever incur,
Expressing surprise at encountering incongruous statements or contradictions in the world.
Such incongruous statements as incongruous as that
Reflecting on the absurdity of certain statements and their incongruity.
You write every day, how many words I can say,
Commenting on the act of writing and the multitude of words one can say, contrasting with personal preference for telephone communication.
Me I telephone, to each his own To each his own,
Reiterating the idea that everyone has their own way of doing things.
I'm not a prude by any means,
Asserting a lack of prudishness but acknowledging personal boundaries.
But nudity upon the screens has reached a point
Observing a saturation of nudity on screens and its impact on the perception of acting.
Where acting is now secondary,
Highlighting the shift where what one is willing to endure becomes more important than attire.
It's now no longer what you wear,
Stating that the more one reveals, the more attention they receive, suggesting a commentary on fame or exposure.
But what you are prepared to bear,
Emphasizing the idea that one's significance is proportional to how much they expose.
The point being that the more you show,
Expressing a personal philosophy of individuality and self-determination.
The bigger you'll be, To each his own;
Reflecting on cherished moments experienced alone, underlining their importance.
Of ever moment I cherish alone,
Expressing surprise at one's own susceptibility to fear in certain situations.
It amazes me how easily I'm scared of that,
Repeating the suggestion of escaping together but reaffirming a preference for staying home.
You say some day, oh baby let's get away, Me,
Affirming the lack of fear in expressing the current sentiment.
I'll stay at home, to each his own I'm not afraid to say right now,
Playfully considering the ability to successfully milk a cow if necessary.
That if I had to milk a cow,
Confidently stating proficiency in the skill of milking a cow.
I'm sure I could do a damned good job of doing it,
Boasting about being skilled at various tasks, using humor and wordplay.
I've always been a real dab had at this dab hand,
Admitting a tendency to excel at certain tasks, using a pun for humor.
On the other hand, forgive me for the pun, Because
Apologizing for a pun while acknowledging the temptation to make it.
I just couldn't resist it
Concluding with a light-hearted comment about being unable to resist a pun.
