One Brown Mouse
Whiskers of Wisdom: Unveiling Life's Pages with One Brown Mouse
Lyrics
Smile your little smile take some tea with me awhile.
Invitation to share a pleasant moment together with tea.
Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder.
Encouragement to dispel negativity or worries.
Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real.
Encouraging the listener to acknowledge their existence and reality.
Another tea-time another day older.
Highlighting the passage of time, aging with each day.
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands.
Symbolic gesture of warmth and care towards the listener.
You wish you were a man
Expressing a desire for adulthood or maturity.
who every day can turn another page.
Wishing for the ability to progress in life like turning pages in a book.
Behind your glass you sit and look
Observing the listener through a barrier (glass) possibly hinting at distance or separation.
at my ever-open book:
The singer's life or experiences are available for the listener to observe.
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
Metaphorically portraying the listener as a small creature confined or limited.
Do you wonder if I really care for you,
Questioning the depth of care or concern for the listener.
Am I just the company you keep?
Wondering if the singer is solely there for companionship.
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill,
Asking who among them engages in repetitive, mundane activities.
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
Questioning who avoids facing realities by pretending to be oblivious.
Smile your little smile take some tea with me awhile.
Reiteration of inviting the listener to share a pleasant moment together.
And every day we'll turn another page.
Commitment to continuing the shared experiences of life.
Behind our glass we'll sit and look
Joint observation of life's experiences together, possibly through a barrier.
at our ever-open book:
Continuation of the metaphor, portraying the listener's restricted state.
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
Reiteration of the listener's constrained or limited condition.
