Let's Make A Movie
Let's Make a Movie: Painting Life Beyond the Myths
Lyrics
I don't trust this bed
I have reservations about this bed.
Could I come to yours instead?
Can I visit your place instead?
Could I come to yours instead?
Repetition, emphasizing the desire to be elsewhere.
A mattress leaking air
A mattress with a leaky air.
A room for really cheap
A room that is very affordable.
And a story to complete
A situation with a story that needs to be fulfilled.
If you can promise
Expressing a condition for the request.
You'll hold the camera steady
A request for stability in filming.
I'll give you drama
Promising intense and engaging content.
I'll give you comedy
Promising elements of humor.
We're out of money
Financial constraints are mentioned.
Yeah all that's left is you and me
Highlighting a connection between two people.
And if that sounds good to you
Checking if the proposal is appealing.
Then let's make a movie
Proposal to create a film together.
Hold me to your chest
A call for physical closeness.
Let fiction do the rest
Suggesting that imagination will fill the gaps.
Let fiction do the rest
Reiteration of the power of fiction.
Through your finger and your thumb
Describing the landscape using fingers and thumb.
This South Dakota sun
Referencing the South Dakota sun.
Could be home to anyone
Imagining the place as potentially welcoming to anyone.
Somewhere off the Interstate
Describing a location off the Interstate.
There's nothing but the myths that we make
Emphasizing the creation of myths.
The real story isi/nt here
Suggesting that the true story is elsewhere.
What brush will you paint me with?
Questioning the perspective used to depict the speaker.
The circle or the monomyth?
Reference to artistic choices: circle or monomyth.
I'm wrapped around you thinking
The speaker is entangled in thoughts about the listener.
You could be it
Expressing the listener's potential significance.
If you can promise
Reiteration of the need for stable filming.
You'll hold the camera steady
Promising more dramatic content.
I'll give you drama
Promising more comedic elements.
I'll give you comedy
Financial constraints are repeated.
We're out of money
Emphasizing the importance of the connection.
Yeah all that's left is you and me
Reiteration of the financial situation.
And if that sounds good to you
Repeating the proposal to create a film together.
Then let's make a movie
Reiteration of the appeal to the listener.
If you can promise
Repetition of the request for stable filming.
You'll hold the camera steady
Repetition of the promise of dramatic content.
I'll give you drama
Repetition of the promise of comedic elements.
I'll give you comedy
Financial constraints are repeated again.
We're out of money
Emphasizing the importance of the connection again.
Yeah all that's left is you and me
Reiteration of the appeal to the listener again.
And if that sounds good to you
Repeating the proposal to create a film together again.
We're out of money
Stating the financial situation explicitly.
There's no one left but you and me
Highlighting the exclusivity of the connection.
If that sounds good to you
Reiterating the appeal to the listener with a focus on exclusivity.
Then let's make a movie
Final repetition of the proposal to create a film together.
