Starry Stairs
A Shivering Silver Journey Through Love's Trials
Lyrics
They ask for more;
They are requesting more, seeking something additional.
What do you think this fan club is for?
Questioning the purpose of the fan club.
I slithered up each rose corridor,
Describing moving through corridors adorned with roses.
I kept a warm safe place in my core
Having a secure and warm inner self.
Before I lost it.
Expressing the loss of the warm, safe place.
They ask for blood,
They demand blood, questioning the constitution of a woman.
What do you think this woman's made of?
Inserting a pin into the thumb, possibly portraying pain.
I stuck a small thin pin in my thumb;
Referring to a line that is meant to be crossed in dreams.
They dreamt a low long line to be crossed
Successfully crossing the aforementioned line.
And I crossed it.
I'm alive but a different kind of life
Being alive but experiencing a different kind of life.
Than the way I used to be,
Contrasting the current life with the past.
I retire to a split white smile to be seen
Retiring to a smile for public display.
In on an old sad magazine.
Being featured in an old, sad magazine.
And this girls eyes,
Describing the eyes of a girl as roughly wretched open.
Well they were roughly wretched open,
Observing a starry stare up the thigh.
I could see a starry stare up your thigh.
Noticing a hidden smile behind the hair.
You hid behind your hair, oh, but I saw you smiling
While all these guys, all these curious sets of eyes
Describing guys with curious eyes behind a TV screen.
Safe behind a TV screen.
Allowing others to pry and dissect personal aspects.
I let them pry,
Letting others scrutinize and expose nearly every part.
Pick apart and hang out to dry
Almost every piece of me.
-(If you don't love me, I'm sorry)
-Oh, what a trip,
Reflecting on a significant experience or journey.
Oh, what a shivering silver ship,
Describing a shivering silver ship in the context of the journey.
Oh, what a hot half-life I half lived
Living a passionate but incomplete life.
Oh, and the stripes and stars
Referring to the changes and challenges represented by stripes and stars.
How they stripped off the siding.
Symbolizing the removal or loss of protective siding.
When my life ripped, all from the part that played as a kid
Describing a shift from a childhood role to a more passionate one.
Into the part that blazed through your lips
Transitioning to a more intense and intimate connection.
To find a warm, safe place then to sit
Finding a secure and comforting place to rest within the intense experience.
Curl up inside it.
Curling up within the found comfort.
So here's goodbye
Bidding farewell to a part that remains.
From the part that stays behind
Addressing the necessity of leaving behind a part.
To the part that has to leave
Acknowledging the lips that were not spoiled by deception.
To the sublime lips that were never spoiled
Referring to the face within the being and the genuine self.
By lying to the face inside the being
Denying a false identity.
Who wasn't me
Who wasn't me
-She's not me
Acknowledging a distinction from someone else.
