Duvalier's Dream
Duvalier's Dream: A Poetic Journey Through Betrayal and Redemption
Lyrics
Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun
Duvalier was embittered, expressing disdain for the morning sun.
That brought a new betrayal every day.
He felt betrayed daily by life's constant deceptions.
He shunned the world of mortals and the sound of human tongues
Duvalier avoided human interaction and the sound of speech.
And blessed the night that chased their sight away.
He valued the night that obscured the world from his view.
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again
Having given up on love, he was a disillusioned dreamer.
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten.
He had tried love and found it to be corrupt.
Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends
Preferencing strangers over friends, as strangers are easily forgotten.
Because strangers are so easily forgotten.
Strangers are preferred due to their forgettable nature.
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived.
Expressing the difficulty of believing after experiencing deception.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
Facing lies but being enticed to try again by a woman's allure.
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.
A woman with a spell of make-believe can renew a man's belief.
Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
Duvalier accepted life's ups and downs with resilience.
Expecting next to nothing out of life.
Expecting little from life, he maintained a low outlook.
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died
Fortune brought a girl who reignited a dormant passion.
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife.
The girl's beauty affected Duvalier profoundly.
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control.
She touched him in ways beyond his mental control.
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall.
She withdrew with a smile, leaving him in love.
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul
Betrayed by his own desires, Duvalier succumbed to love.
Duvalier was a dreamer after all.
Despite his cynicism, Duvalier remained a dreamer at heart.
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived.
Reiterating the difficulty of believing after deception.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
Facing lies but tempted to try again by a woman's enchantment.
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.
Emphasizing the power of a woman's make-believe to change a man.
Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
Repeating Duvalier's acceptance of life's unpredictable nature.
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived.
Echoing the challenge of maintaining belief after being deceived.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
Confronting lies but tempted to try again through a woman's illusion.
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.
Highlighting the transformative power of a woman's make-believe on a man's beliefs.
