Here Comes the Groom
Ambitious Shadows: Unveiling the Groom's Dance with Fate
Lyrics
With half an eye on history
With a partial focus on history
And half an ounce of hope
A glimmer of hope
Sold his soul in the vestry
Sacrificed his integrity in the church
Money for old rope
Gained easy money, exploiting a well-established practice
Been this way a million times
Experienced similar situations numerous times
But now his time is nigh
His time to face consequences is approaching
He steps into the spotlight
Steps into the limelight
He wants to say 'hi
Intends to greet
Hello, we're so glad you came
Welcoming the audience
You've never seen me before'
Claiming unfamiliarity
He's so ambitious, he's so game
Ambitious and enthusiastic
But yesterday he was dressed the same
Contrasts with his past simplicity
Then he was so much easier to ignore
Previously easy to ignore
Here comes the groom
Introduction of the groom
But the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for you
World is unwelcoming, no place for him
But here he comes
Reiteration of the groom's arrival
He married into money
Married into wealth
Just to kiss and tell
Engaged in gossip
He ripped the contract open
Breaking free from commitments
He's out of his shell
Becoming more outgoing
He looks into a mirror
Self-reflection in a mirror
Practising his poise
Practicing composure
But it reflects so badly
Reflection negatively affects him
The groom just gets annoyed
Resulting in annoyance
He gasps, he forgets his lines
Shock and forgetfulness
He's never done that before
Uncharacteristic mistakes
The scientists say he's doing fine
Experts claim he is doing well
This fumbling frantic frankenstein
Compares him to a frantic Frankenstein
Soon he's gonna do the dinosaur
Anticipating a drastic change
Here comes the groom
Repeat of the groom's entrance
His fingers are on the cliff edge
Facing a precarious situation
His head is going under
Struggling and sinking
Is that applause?
Confusion between applause and thunder
No that's just thunder....
Clarification of the sound
Why do you keep saying I do?
Questioning commitment
What does the bride mean to you?
Asking about the groom's feelings toward the bride
Play me some puccini
Request for Puccini music
Make it heavy on the strings
Emphasizing string instruments
Walk me to the altar
Moving towards marriage
The choir can't even sing
Critical view of the choir's ability
Right side for the photographs
Arranging for photographs
Left side for the kids
Allocating sides for the ceremony
God made me do it
Attributing actions to divine influence
So that's what I did
Justification for past actions
He coughs, loosens his bow-tie
Physical discomfort, adjusting attire
You've never seen him before
Reiteration of unfamiliarity
He kisses the bride, oh you know why
Kissing the bride with a known motive
Love's one more thing you can buy
Love as a commodity
He was unfaithful before he went outdoors
Infidelity and its consequences
(and now he's in the graveyard)
Mention of a graveyard, potential foreshadowing
Here comes the groom.....
Repetition of the groom's arrival
