Lyrics
It's a mad man's game
Engaging in a risky or unpredictable endeavor
Making cadences land in golden fields
Creating musical patterns that resonate in beautiful and valuable experiences
A mad man's game
Continuing the theme of engaging in a risky or unpredictable endeavor
Making the commonplace unreal
Transforming ordinary things into something extraordinary
I can't say why
Unable to explain the reason
But I have a way of bleeding dry
Having a tendency to exhaust or deplete
Anything you call a rose
Anything considered beautiful, from red to white
From red to white
Expressing a variety of beautiful things
A full bouquet
A complete collection of beautiful things turning into something mundane
To fucking snow
Reducing a beautiful bouquet to mere snow, possibly losing its essence
It's a mad man's game
Reiterating the risky or unpredictable nature of the endeavor
I had been spending a lot of time
Spending a significant amount of time
In my expensive furs
Wearing luxurious fur
When the question first occurred to me
Reflecting on a question that arose
Is there anything more famous
Is there anything more famous?
Anything more grand
Is there anything more grand?
Anything more noble than a folded hand?
Is there anything more noble than surrendering (a folded hand)?
Fantasy, it's a mad man's game
Fantasy is a risky or unpredictable endeavor
At the very least, a younger man's game
Suggesting that fantasy is more suitable for a younger person
I'd say the only word worth singing
Asserting that the only word worth singing is a name
Is a name
Stating that the only name worth singing is not God
I'd say the only name worth singing
Emphasizing the significance of the name
It's not God
Clarifying that the name is not God but someone specific
It's you
Identifying the person with the worthy name as "you"
Julia
Addressing the person as Julia
As beautiful, and simple as the sun
Comparing Julia's beauty and simplicity to the sun
Julia with blue jeans on
Specifically mentioning Julia wearing blue jeans
Julia, as beautiful and simple as the sun
Reiterating the beauty and simplicity of Julia, emphasizing her attire
Just Julia with blue jeans on
Repeated mention of Julia with blue jeans, reinforcing her significance
I see you there
Observing Julia at a specific location
Oh, at the bottom of the stairs
Describing Julia at the bottom of the stairs
Obliterating everything I've ever written down
Julia's presence overpowering the artist's previous creations
Was there any other way
Questioning if there was any other way for Julia to be discovered or known
That you could have been found?
Raising the possibility of an alternative way for Julia's existence to be revealed
Oh Julia with blue jeans on
Repeating the admiration for Julia with blue jeans
Oh-ah, da da, da
Uttering nonsensical sounds, possibly expressing emotion or admiration
