Lyrics
Prepare
Preparation or readiness
Just be aware
Be attentive and mindful
And she'll appear
A mysterious woman will emerge
In front of your eyes: Bracing, alive
Visible and vibrant before your eyes, strong and lively
A queen
A regal presence
Upon a stage
On a theatrical platform
She'll make you faint
Capable of causing you to lose consciousness
But as curtains fall
After the performance
She's starting to crawl
She starts to retreat or withdraw
Back to her convoluted self
Returning to her complex and intricate true self
Sleepless nights in featureless hotels
Nights without sleep in plain hotels
And you can tell
It's noticeable
That she is vulnerable
She is emotionally exposed or susceptible
Loveable, unknowable
Adorable and enigmatic
A self, all by herself
An individual, independent and self-sufficient
She's giving herself
She's dedicating herself
To strangers at night
To unknown individuals at night
But as the light switches off
When the light goes out
She's nobody's lover
She belongs to no one romantically
Goes home by herself
Returns home alone
Leaving strangers behind
Leaving behind unfamiliar faces
But as the light switches on
When the light comes on
She's everyone's lover
She becomes everyone's romantic interest
An act
An act or a performance
A flawless mask
A perfect disguise
Makes you react
Provokes a reaction
To things that ain't real: A surface, a shield
To things that are not authentic: a superficial layer, a protective barrier
A dream
An illusion or fantasy
With auburn hair
With reddish-brown hair
So rich and rare
Luxurious and extraordinary
But as curtains fall
After the performance ends
Her highness turns small
Her majesty diminishes
And she simply can't explain
And she struggles to clarify or justify
Desperate to build herself a name
Desiring to establish her own identity
And entertain
And amuse or divert
She's Miss unknowable
She is a mystery
Loveable, but no one seems to know
Adorable, but no one truly comprehends
The girl behind the show
The person concealed by the spectacle
She's giving herself
She dedicates herself
To strangers at night
To unknown individuals at night
But as the light switches off
When the light goes out
She's nobody's lover
She belongs to no one romantically
Goes home by herself
Returns home alone
Leaving strangers behind
Leaving behind unfamiliar faces
But as the light switches on
When the light comes on
She's everyone's lover
She becomes everyone's romantic interest
