Annabelle
Unveiling Annabelle's Journey: Love, Loss, and Secrets
Lyrics
Annabelle drinks the cheap red wine
Annabelle drinks inexpensive red wine
From a fancy glass
She drinks it from an elegant glass
With her fingers wrapped around a fragile stem
Her fingers hold the delicate stem of the glass
And a long cigarette in the other hand
She holds a long cigarette in her other hand
And her hair always looks so nice
Her hair always appears well-kept
She's good at hiding the grey
She's skilled at concealing signs of aging
If you take a long look in her eyes
Deeply looking into her eyes reveals her age
The lines give her age away
Facial lines betray her age despite her efforts
Oh Annabelle
Addressing Annabelle
What a story you could tell
She holds a captivating life story
Oh Annabelle
Refers to Annabelle again
Love took you to heaven
Love led her to both extreme joy and pain
Love took you to hell
Love was the force behind her highs and lows
Annabelle
Mentions Annabelle
She sits down in her old oak chair
She regularly sits in her aged oak chair
Every Friday night
Part of her routine on Friday nights
And when she dances with the man
When she dances with a man, she appears youthful
The years fall away
The passing years seem to vanish in the vibrant lights
She looks younger in the neon light
She seemingly ages backward in the neon glow
We've all watched her give her heart away
Witnesses have seen her give her heart away multiple times
So many times that we lost count
The occurrences were so frequent that they lost count
But when you look at love like a fairy tale
Perceiving love as a fairy tale leads to disappointment
Love's gonna let you down
Love inevitably brings disillusionment
Oh Annabelle
Refers to Annabelle
What a story you could tell
Speaks of her intriguing life experiences
Oh Annabelle
Mentions Annabelle in relation to love's influence
Love took you to heaven
Love's impact steered her towards both ecstasy and agony
Love took you to hell
Love held the power to elevate and torment her
Annabelle oh Annabelle
Repeated reference to Annabelle
She never said where she came from
She never disclosed her place of origin
But rumors oh they fly
Rumors about her origins circulate widely
Women in this town
Describes the women in town
Drink their gin on the porch
They drink gin and gossip on their porches
And whisper the lies about
They spread false stories about Annabelle
Annabelle
Repeated reference to Annabelle and gossip surrounding her
Annabelle
Continues the emphasis on Annabelle's presence
Annabelle
Further accentuates Annabelle's significance
What a story you could tell
Reiterates the allure of her life story
Oh, Annabelle
Highlights the impact of love on Annabelle's life
Love took you to heaven
Repeats the idea of love being transformative for her
Love took you to hell
Emphasizes the extreme polarities love brought to her
Annabelle
Another reference to Annabelle
Annabelle
Concludes with the mention of Annabelle again
