The Mansion
Strawberry Mansion: A Melodic Journey Through Time and Love
Lyrics
Summer will see the Eiffel Tower
Anticipation of the Eiffel Tower being a witness to summer.
Fall in love with an undrawn lover
Falling in love with an undefined or imaginary partner during the fall season.
How long must we fall to pieces
Raising a question about the duration of experiencing a breakdown or falling apart.
Until we come undone
Continuing the theme of disintegration and wondering when it will be complete.
Living through the death of introspection
Enduring a phase where self-reflection is dying or losing significance.
Riding home in the opposite direction
Returning home in a contrasting direction, possibly symbolizing a divergence from the expected path.
I'm the son of an ancient affection
Identifying oneself as the offspring of a long-lasting, but unresolved, emotional connection.
That never comes undone
Highlighting the enduring nature of the affection that never unravels or ends.
And it'll make you happy to hear the whistle call
Expressing joy in response to the sound of a whistle, possibly a metaphor for a positive turn of events.
There is a Straw berry mansion for all
Introducing the idea of a "Strawberry Mansion" that is available for everyone, implying a shared or accessible happiness.
Down the street from the house of Coltrane
Referencing a location near the residence of the influential jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.
Sid and Ruthie, Jack and May
Mentioning individuals named Sid, Ruthie, Jack, and May, possibly representing a diverse group of people.
All one as the big bands playing
Emphasizing unity by likening the mentioned individuals to the harmony of big bands playing music.
Under a Philly sun
Setting the scene under a Philadelphia sun, suggesting a specific location and atmosphere.
And It'll make you happy to hear the whistle call
Reiterating the positive response to the sound of a whistle, reinforcing the idea of a universally accessible "Strawberry Mansion."
There is a Straw berry mansion for all
Confirming the existence of a welcoming place or state of happiness for everyone.
