Supergun
Unrequited Longing: SuperGun's Cruel Game
Lyrics
I ran out of Lexington - I ran out of time
I faced challenges in Lexington and ran out of time.
I hooked up with anyone that I could find
I engaged with anyone available to me.
Why don't you answer me
A plea for communication, questioning why there's no response.
I bear you no ill
Assuring no harm or negative intentions.
You never notice me but someday you will
Feeling unnoticed, expressing hope for future recognition.
And there you go lead and time
Referring to the passage of time and being led forward.
Skin and chrome supergun so fine
Describing an attractive and powerful "supergun" made of skin and chrome.
I'm burned up with jealousy
Expressing intense jealousy.
You're burned up with speed
Describing someone else's intense speed or acceleration.
You ditch your paramour
The person the singer desires leaves their current lover.
I got what you need
Claiming to have what the person desires.
And I'm not a child
Asserting maturity and not being naive.
And I'm not a fool
Emphasizing wisdom and experience.
Oh no not again - your supergun so cruel
Expressing frustration with the perceived cruelty of the attractive "supergun."
I got up - a new day dawned
Welcoming a new day with a sense of rebirth.
I believe I've been reborn
Believing in personal renewal.
I threw out my dolls and pins
Symbolically letting go of childhood possessions.
I go out and reel you in at last
Expressing the ability to attract the desired person.
Oh yea, yea yea
An enthusiastic affirmation or agreement.
No injured innocence - no wounded pride
No innocence harmed, no pride wounded.
Accept what has to be, I so long denied
Accepting the inevitable, acknowledging past denial.
And I take it off and you follow suit
Taking off something, possibly symbolic, and the other person follows suit.
I close my eyes
Closing one's eyes, perhaps to avoid facing reality.
But your supergun won't shoot
The desired outcome is not achieved; the "supergun" won't shoot.
No it won't shoot
Reiteration that the "supergun" refuses to shoot.
No it won't shoot
-No it won't shoot
