What You See is What You Get
Unveiling the Enigma of Identity in 'What You See is What You Get'
Lyrics
You don't know me, I don't know you,
Expressing mutual unfamiliarity between the speaker and the listener.
We're like strangers coming out of the blue,
Describing the relationship as if they are strangers appearing unexpectedly.
We call each other by different names,
Highlighting the use of different names when addressing each other.
My name is Tarzan baby, your's could be Jane,
Playfully suggesting nicknames, referencing the characters Tarzan and Jane.
Looks like rain, I think there could be snow,
Musing about uncertain weather conditions, symbolizing unpredictability in life.
These days somehow you just never know,
Reflecting on the unpredictability of current times and the uncertainty of the future.
The weather bureau are finding it hard,
Indicating the struggle of the weather bureau in forecasting accurately.
Yesterday's sunshine caught them off their guard
Noting that even yesterday's weather caught the forecasters off guard.
What you see is what you get,
Introducing the theme that appearances accurately represent reality.
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
Stating that one's essence aligns with their expectations and self-perception.
Oh, I've no secrets to keep from you,
Asserting transparency, claiming no hidden truths or concealed aspects.
Not that that's something I wouldn't do,
Acknowledging a willingness to keep some things private despite openness.
We all have secrets that we keep to ourselves,
Generalizing that everyone maintains personal secrets within themselves.
Mine is what I love to, but I'm afraid I can't tell
Admitting a personal secret about what the speaker loves but cannot disclose.
What you see is what you get,
Reiterating the theme that external appearances accurately reflect the truth.
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
Emphasizing the consistency between one's essence and self-expectations.
What you see is what you get,
Repeating the assertion that what is visible is an accurate representation.
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
Reiterating the idea that one's true nature aligns with personal expectations.
What you see is what you get,
Again emphasizing the direct correlation between appearance and reality.
What you are is what you expect, You expect
Concluding with a repetition of the notion that personal reality matches expectations.
