Pretty Lie
Ambitious Desires and Pretty Lies: Mello Crum's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Said do you have the time? Some time for disarray?
Asking if there's time amidst chaos or disorder
The caffeine and cocaine are rushing, my mind's let astray
Mentions the effects of caffeine and cocaine leading to a distracted mind
Affection with no love, I'll see it as a win
Describes affection without genuine love as a victory
Never-ending appetite and a hunger for your skin
An insatiable desire for intimacy
Eleventh hour hookups, don't you tell me what to say
Late-night encounters without restraint in speech
I'm paying for this room so you can bet I'm gonna stay
Asserts staying in a place due to payment, implying determination
We spend the whole night fighting 'til the moment you cave in
Conflict persists until the other person gives in
Acting up like rabbits, I don't care, you just begin
Being impulsive, disregarding consequences, encouraging the other to start
And we're just so aspiring, you and I
Expresses ambition despite circumstances
Naked as we reach the sky, you lay another line
Intimate moments reaching a high point, drug use implied
The smile that suits your face is making me feel we'll be fine
Feeling reassured by a fake smile
Ambitious as I am, oh do I love a pretty lie
Liking deceitful appearances, enjoying a false reality
Do I love a pretty lie
Reiteration of enjoying deceptive illusions
I like to remember, you forgot what we had done
One party recalls while the other forgets past events
The many nights I've lived to see the rising morning sun
Reflects on witnessing numerous mornings after intense nights
Face to face with you, I like the colour of your cheeks
Appreciating physical features and expressions of the other person
I like the empty glaze and oh I love the way you speak
Enjoying the other's vacant or dazed look and speech
The blood that's stuck inside your nose, it doesn't seem so wrong
Downplaying the seriousness of drug use and its effects
The sugar hits my brain, we're both in pieces going strong
Both individuals affected by drugs, but feeling strong in their fragmented state
The sex is so in sync, the only rhythm that I need
Intimacy being the only rhythm necessary
The magic's in the air, I love that awful taste of sweet
Enjoying the allure of something unpleasant, like the taste of drugs
And we're just so aspiring, you and I
Reiteration of ambition despite the situation
Naked as we reach the sky, you lay another line
Similar to line 10, highlighting drug use in an intimate context
The smile that suits your face is making me feel we'll be fine
False reassurance derived from the other's smile
Ambitious as I am, oh do I love a pretty lie
Reiteration of enjoying attractive falsehoods
Ambitious as I am, oh do I love a pretty lie
-Full of disarray I asked you if you had the time
Repeating the initial chaos, asking about time
It's caffeine or cocaine, I wonder which'll make me die
Speculating which substance might lead to their demise
I hope that I'll remember and I think that you'll forget
Expectation of memory disparity between both individuals
What a waste of all the awfully pretty things we said
Regret over the beautiful yet meaningless things said
And we're just so aspiring, you and I
Reiteration of ambition amidst the chaos
Naked as we reach the sky, you lay another line
Parallel to lines 10 and 23, emphasizing drug use in intimacy
The smile that suits your face is making me feel we'll be fine
Deriving false comfort from the other's smile
Ambitious as I am, oh do I love a pretty lie
Reiteration of enjoying attractive falsehoods
Do I love a pretty lie
