bored if i don't
Tangled Tales of Temptation: Boredom's Forbidden Dance
Lyrics
I'm just a young girl in a small town that settled down way too soon
I settled down in a small town at a young age.
Before I even understood what I was promising not to do
I made promises without fully understanding their implications.
Yeah I remember that day in my white dress
Recalling the day of commitment in a white dress.
My fate was sealed
Feeling like destiny was predetermined at that moment.
Yeah I feel like a wild rose
Comparing oneself to a wild rose trapped in someone's windowsill.
Plucked and stuck in someone's windowsill
Sense of being plucked and constrained.
And I know that it's wrong telling lies to a man
Struggling with dishonesty towards an honest man.
who's honest as the day is long
The man is characterized as extremely honest.
And I know I should stay at home
Aware of the responsibility to stay at home.
But I know that I won't
Despite knowing, there is an inclination to go against staying at home.
Because I'm damned if I do and I'm bored if I don't
Expressing a dilemma between doing wrong and feeling bored if not doing it.
Can I sneak around in shadows
Contemplating sneaking around and concealing actions.
Or cover up the footprints from the dirt
Considering hiding evidence of actions.
Can I find out what my heart needs
Questioning personal needs and desires of the heart.
Without his getting hurt
Ambivalence about pursuing desires without hurting the partner.
And I know that it's wrong telling lies to a man
Reiterating the internal struggle with dishonesty.
who's honest as the day is long
Emphasizing the man's unwavering honesty.
And I know I should head on home
The realization of the need to go home.
But I know that I won't
An acknowledgment of the likelihood of not going home.
Because I'm damned if I do and I'm bored if I don't
Reiterating the internal conflict between doing wrong and boredom.
There's no playing by the rules when you're playing a cheating man's game
Highlighting the complexity of playing a cheating man's game.
Cause even when you win, you lose just the same
Winning in such a game leads to losing in the end.
And I know that it's wrong telling lies to a man
Continuing the theme of dishonesty towards an honest man.
who's honest as the day is long
Reiterating the man's unwavering honesty.
And I know I should make him go
Considering the difficult decision to make the man leave.
But I know that I won't
Admitting the reluctance to make the man leave.
Because I'm damned if I do
Repeating the internal struggle with the consequences of actions.
Oh I'm damned if I do and I'm bored if I don't
Summarizing the dilemma between doing wrong and facing boredom.
