Cupid Full of Eros
Unveiling the Quirky Charade of Love in 'Cupid Full of Eros'
Lyrics
Pluck ambrosia from vines
Extracting something divine or exquisite from vines
And drink grape wine from his jiggling cleavage
Drinking wine from Cupid's chest, possibly symbolizing indulgence in pleasures associated with love
Pouring open from his broken, arrow staken heart
His heart is broken and pierced by arrows, emotions flowing openly
Imagine kindergarten, gluing red and pink construction paper hearts
Imagining a simple representation of love through childhood crafts
To shoe boxes
Attaching these crafted hearts to shoeboxes, possibly reminiscent of childhood innocence
little fingers and thumbs
Children's fingers and thumbs involved in crafting, portraying innocence and youth
Give tidings of
Offering or presenting something
Quote, unquote
Quoting the concept of love
Love
Love being the subject or theme
and simple charity
Love and acts of kindness presented as simple and uncomplicated
Very cute its insincerity
Commenting on the apparent superficiality or lack of depth in this portrayal of love
Play dumb
Suggesting to feign ignorance or innocence
a quill of arrows in tow
A set of arrows carried by the speaker, possibly indicating influence or control over love and affection
I track the cherub below
Tracking a cherub, a symbol of love, from an elevated standpoint
From elevated position
Hoping for an effortless way to cause harm or downfall to the cherub
Hoping for a certain easy mortal blow
Desiring a straightforward and effortless way to harm or affect the cherub
I am owed a penance
Feeling owed retribution or punishment
To this bloated piglet stealing hearts
Referring to Cupid as a greedy creature stealing hearts, defying reason or logic
From good logic
Cupid's actions conflicting with rationality or sensible thinking
A cupid full of arrows is a
Emphasizing that Cupid, full of arrows, is also full of love
Cupid full of love
Repeating the idea to feign ignorance or innocence
Play dumb
