Become Someone Else's
Embracing Love's True Lens: A Musical Reflection
Lyrics
Jennifer called, told me about her latest admirer
Jennifer called, informed me about her latest admirer
I said, "Someone should make a pamphlet called
I suggested creating a pamphlet titled 'So You Think You're in Love with Jennifer?'
'So You Think You're in Love with Jennifer?'"
Observing that these admirers have steady girlfriends, facing anxiety about their current relationships
They're all guys with steady girlfriends
Expressing concern about their emotional state
Panicing at where they're at.
Highlighting the distress of these individuals
Jenny, please, let's never become like that
Urging Jennifer not to let their relationship deteriorate to that level
Become like that, become like that
Reiterating the plea to avoid becoming like those troubled individuals
Become like that, become like that
-Like a sinking rock tied to the leg of a person
Expressing a preference for a carefree existence over a burdensome one
I'd rather be a flat stone skipping across the ocean
Desiring a life akin to a flat stone skipping on the ocean's surface
When the Melbourne summer is endless
Referencing the joy of an endless Melbourne summer and the helplessness induced by a warm wind
And the warm wind leaves you helpless
-Life's too good to become someone else's
Declaring that life is too good to be someone else's
Become someone else's, become someone else's
Echoing the sentiment to avoid becoming someone else's
Become someone else's, become someone
-Else than this hopeless young fool
Expressing a desire not to be a hopeless young fool
What Tracey sang about me is true
Acknowledging a statement by Tracey about the speaker
It all depends what lens you're looking through, maybe
Suggesting that perceptions depend on one's viewpoint and expressing gratitude to Tracey for teaching about love
But all I know about love, I learned from you, Tracey
-Bats are sucking on cherries, dangling from the trees
Describing bats sucking on cherries hanging from trees
Hasn't anyone told you what your fangs are for, little buddies?
Pondering the purpose of the bats' fangs
That lonesome feeling, and what it tells us
Reflecting on the lonely feeling and its significance
Sleeping on my arm till it becomes someone else's
Describing the act of sleeping on the arm until it feels like someone else's
Sleeping on my arm till it becomes someone else's
-Becomes someone else's, becomes someone else's
Repeating the theme of becoming someone else's
Becomes someone else's, becomes someone else's
-Becomes someone else's, becomes someone else's
Emphasizing the transformation of the arm into someone else's
