Beverly
Unraveling Desires: A Journey Through Loose Wing's 'Beverly'
Lyrics
So you think you want to be a day drinker
Expressing a desire to engage in daytime drinking.
No, no, I just want to un-become
Desiring to shed one's current identity or state.
So I guess you want to self destruct then huh
Questioning if the desire is to intentionally self-destruct.
Oh, no I'm just drowning in the dust
Denying self-destruction, but feeling overwhelmed or trapped.
Well maybe you ought to try being simple
Suggesting simplicity as a solution to the complexities faced.
I tried, I tried 'til it broke my heart
Attempted simplicity leading to heartbreak.
Oh, Beverly why are your paintings always so lurid
Questioning the provocative nature of Beverly's paintings.
You bore me to death with it all
Expressing boredom with Beverly's artistic expressions.
Oh, Beverly your tiny voice like nails to a blackboard
Describing Beverly's voice as irritating like nails on a blackboard.
Oh here come the waterworks
Anticipating emotional outbursts or crying from Beverly.
Oh doctor she's not the girl I married
Characterizing Beverly in a medical context, expressing dissatisfaction with changes.
Can't you give her just a little shock
Suggesting a desire for a shock treatment to address hysteria in Beverly.
Something to smooth out this hysteria
Seeking a solution to calm and stabilize Beverly's emotional state.
Shake shake the old sunshine up
Using imagery of shaking to bring positivity and brightness into Beverly's life.
So you think you're gonna run out on me now
Challenging the idea of leaving, expressing a determination to prevent it.
But I'll never let you leave
Asserting the refusal to let Beverly go despite any desire to leave.
Oh, Beverly why are your paintings always so lurid
Repeating the question about the provocative nature of Beverly's paintings.
You bore me to death with it all
Reiterating boredom with Beverly's artistic expressions.
Oh, Beverly your tiny voice like nails to a blackboard
Reiterating the irritating nature of Beverly's voice.
Oh here come the waterworks
Anticipating emotional outbursts or crying from Beverly.
