GOOD FOR NO ONE
Love's Complex Dance: Emotions Unraveled in Herman Düne's 'GOOD FOR NO ONE'
Lyrics
I was looking at you from the back of the room
I observed you from a distance in the room.
but you didn't notice me and you picked up your house phone
You didn't notice me; instead, you answered your home phone.
and I heard you tell some friend that you thought you were in love with me
I overheard you telling a friend that you thought you were in love with me.
and I freaked out and I got scared and the world fell right in front of me
This revelation scared me, causing a sense of panic as my world seemed to collapse.
and I didn't want to hurt you and I loved you more than anyone I had ever met before
I didn't want to hurt you; I loved you deeply, more than anyone before.
and I thought you were a beauty
I perceived you as beautiful.
and I wanted to be your friend and I wanted to hold your hand
I desired to be your friend and hold your hand.
but I didn't want to live with you or to have you in my bed
However, I was reluctant to live with you or share a bed.
because I, I am good for no one and you are the perfect woman
I acknowledge my inadequacies, feeling I am good for no one, while you are the perfect woman.
you know I, I am good for no one and you are the perfect woman
Reiteration of feeling inadequate and recognizing the other person's perfection.
and then you told me we had some chemistry and I ran away
Upon learning about our supposed chemistry, I reacted by running away.
and I scared the shit out of two little rich kids who called me a freak and went looking for their dads
I frightened two wealthy kids, who insulted me and sought their fathers for protection.
and I panicked like a rookie on the first base one Sunday morning
I panicked like a beginner on the first base, perhaps in a situation of confrontation.
I thought I would never make it home again or even make it through the season
Fearing the worst, I doubted my ability to survive and endure the challenges ahead.
and then I rushed to seven sisters and I met the magic rabbi there and he called me by my sweet name
I hurried to seven sisters, where I encountered a mystical rabbi who addressed me affectionately.
and he took me in his magic cape and he told me the mission that god had planned for me
The rabbi revealed a divine mission for me and enveloped me in his magical cape.
he said take a plane to brazil and buy some good rocks there baby
He instructed me to travel to Brazil, purchase valuable rocks, and sell them at a profit.
and then bring them back in your guitar case and sell them twice the price you paid
The plan involves returning with the rocks concealed in a guitar case to secure a comfortable home and lifelong love.
and then you'll buy a real house in someplace warm and then you'll love her till the day she dies
The vision includes acquiring a house in a warm place and cherishing a relationship until death.
and I was like god come on give me a break you know I ain't going anywhere with her you know I mean
Expressing reluctance and disbelief in the suggested plan, questioning its feasibility.
you know I, I am good for no one and you are the perfect woman
Reiteration of feeling inadequate, juxtaposed with the other person being seen as perfect.
you know I, I am good for no one and you are the perfect woman
Reaffirmation of personal inadequacy and the other person's perceived perfection.
like I said, she's good for no one
A repetition emphasizing the belief that the described woman is not suitable for anyone.
