All Tomorrow's Parties
Echoes of Melancholy: Unveiling the Poignant Tapestry in 'All Tomorrow's Parties'
Lyrics
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
Asking about the attire the impoverished girl should wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Referencing all the upcoming social gatherings or events
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
Describing a used dress with an uncertain origin
To all tomorrow's parties
Emphasizing the outfit for future social occasions
And where will she go and what shall she do
Questioning the girl's actions and destination as midnight approaches
When midnight comes around
Speculating about the girl's behavior when confronted with midnight
She'll turn once more to Sunday's gown
Indicating a return to a familiar, possibly comforting attire (Sunday's gown)
And cry behind the door
Suggesting emotional distress or solitude hidden from others
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
Repeating the question about the girl's costume for future events
To all tomorrow's parties
Reiterating the theme of dressing for upcoming social gatherings
Why silks and plumes of yesterday's gowns
Asking about the choice of outdated, luxurious materials
To all tomorrow's parties
Highlighting the persistence of using past fashion at future events
And what shall she do with Thursday's rags
Raising a question about what to do with the remnants of past experiences
When Monday comes around
Anticipating a return to a familiar outfit (Sunday's clown) when faced with the start of the week
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
Suggesting a recurrence of emotional distress or seclusion
And cry behind the door
Reiterating the idea of crying behind closed doors
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
Posing the question again about the girl's attire for upcoming events
To all tomorrow's parties
Re-emphasizing the theme of dressing for future social occasions
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
Connecting Thursday's child with Sunday's clown, suggesting a cyclic pattern
For whom none will go mourning
Stating that the Sunday's clown is not mourned by anyone
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Describing a dark, used outfit, possibly representing sorrow or hardship
Of rags and silks, a costume
Detailing a mixture of worn-out materials symbolizing a diverse past
Fit for one who sits and cries
Describing a suitable costume for someone immersed in sadness
For all tomorrow's parties
Expressing sorrow for future events and gatherings
