Young Fiction Writer
Echoes of Self-Deception: Unraveling the Young Fiction Writer's Tale
Lyrics
Save face and leave, before she gets mean
Advises to preserve one's dignity and exit a situation before it turns unpleasant.
You know how to act, you scripted the scene
Suggests familiarity with acting and having preplanned or manipulated the scenario.
This film's more a short, a monologue of sorts
Describes the narrative as more of a brief story, possibly a solo performance.
Whatevers invalidate the mind reading smile
Refers to elements that undermine genuine emotions, like a smile that hides true thoughts.
Now ask yourself quietly, you're a bright breathing funeral
Presents a contemplation on the value of a lively existence, using the metaphor of a funeral.
Was it worth all the agony, your last fairy tale?
Questions the worth of enduring pain for a story that might be unreal or overly idealized.
Scribble out the trite words, on paper always smarter
Encourages discarding cliché expressions, favoring more intelligent and thoughtful communication.
Looking for the video locked in your left brain
Mentions a search for a visual representation of an experience, possibly in the mind.
A string of stealth encounters, making sex under the table
Depicts secretive and discreet intimate encounters, suggesting a hidden or forbidden aspect.
Perfect simple positions, like the truth you've learned to bend
Highlights the pursuit of seemingly perfect and uncomplicated situations, akin to distorting the truth.
Now ask your friends quietly, you get worked over nightly
Suggests the impact on relationships, questioning if others notice the toll on the individual.
By the brutal reality of your last fairy tale
Reiterates the harsh reality of an imagined or embellished narrative.
Young fiction writer, you tried to live inside her
Addresses someone as a young fiction writer, metaphorically living through their stories.
Depending on paper to save you in the end
Dependence on written words, perhaps for escapism or salvation.
Now ask yourself quietly, feel free to answer honestly
Encourages introspection on the true value of one's actions and their impact on friendships.
It's okay, you're alone now, was it worth one less friend?
Acknowledges solitude and questions if the sacrifice was worthwhile in losing a friend.
