Arrows of Eros
Love's Undoing: Arrows of Eros Unveiled
Lyrics
There was a girl who lived in London town.
Introduction of a girl residing in London.
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
London's environment negatively affects her.
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
Her dreams involve polkadots and rubies.
French fantasies on cinema screens...
She envisions French fantasies on cinema screens.
And she knew from the finish to the start
Reflection on the inevitability of a relationship's end.
It was bound to fall apart
The relationship is expected to disintegrate.
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Attributing the breakup to Cupid's ineffective arrow.
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?
Expressing the notion of a romanticized death from heartbreak.
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
Introduction of a boy who avoids the external world.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He turns his back on the world due to inability to face it.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
Blind to what's in front of him, lost in fantasies.
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...
Fascination with outlaws dominates his thoughts.
And he knew from the finish to the start
Reflection on the inevitable end of his relationship.
It was bound to fall apart
Anticipation of relationship breakdown due to Cupid's influence.
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Blaming Cupid's arrow for relationship troubles.
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?
Expressing the romanticized idea of dying from a broken heart.
Oooh...
Interlude or transitional element.
There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
Introduction of a boy and girl in love.
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Shared love for stars and sky, indicating common interests.
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Reference to Cinderella, cigarettes, and past scenes in their relationship.
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...
Challenges arise, suggesting their love may not endure.
And they knew from the finish to the start
Reflection on the inevitable end of their relationship.
It was bound to fall apart
Anticipation of relationship breakdown attributed to Cupid's influence.
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Blaming Cupid's arrow for the expected demise of their love.
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart?
Expressing the romanticized idea of both partners dying from broken hearts.
