Sarah
Unveiling Sarah's Complex Tapestry of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Expressing an emotional sound or vocalization.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Continuation of the emotional vocalization.
This is the last time I will talk about you
Declaring the intention to stop discussing the person being addressed.
I will say your name
Committing to no longer mention the person's name.
I will play your game
Refusing to engage in the person's manipulative behavior or tactics.
Sarah, you can be sure
Acknowledging certainty in this decision and addressing the person directly.
This is the first time no one gives into you
Stating that others are no longer succumbing to the person's influence.
No one hides their shame
People are no longer concealing their embarrassment or guilt for the person.
No one holds a flame
No one is nurturing a hope or affection for the person.
Sarah never before
Emphasizing this is an unprecedented situation regarding the person.
You're foolish and sad
Describing the person as both lacking good sense and being sorrowful.
You're gorgeous and mad
Contrasting the person's attractiveness with their apparent madness.
Take a drag on that last cigarette
Metaphorically suggesting the person's final act of indulgence before an ending.
You're wounded and far in a land of the stars
Characterizing the person as hurt and distant in a fantasy-like place.
And it breaks my heart to see you like that
Expressing sorrow at seeing the person in such a state.
So this is the one time that I give you the news
Presenting the act of delivering unwelcome information to the person.
Not a song and dance
Clarifying it's not a performance or a chance for reconciliation.
Not a second chance
Asserting there won't be an opportunity for the person to try again.
Sarah never won
Stating the person never emerged victorious or succeeded.
Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Reiteration of an emotional vocalization.
(Ooh)
Continuation of emotional vocalization.
