Lyrics
When you explode into the room,
Expressing the impact of someone entering the room energetically.
All I can smell is your perfume;
Highlighting the dominant presence of the person's perfume upon entering.
And the cigarette jazzing up the atmosphere.
Noting the additional element of cigarette smoke creating a lively atmosphere.
You think it's fine, I know it's broke.
Acknowledging the other person's perspective that everything is fine, contrasting with the speaker's realization that something is broken.
You think it's all some kind of joke,
Addressing the perception that the situation is a joke, but the speaker expresses an inability to laugh due to feeling confined.
But how can I laugh when I'm locked up in here?
Describing the confinement and the speaker's emotional state in the situation.
And it's a beautiful day outside.
Contrasting the beautiful day outside with the speaker's internal turmoil, emphasizing the irony of the situation.
And it's a beautiful day outside.
-I press my nose against the glass,
Depicting the speaker observing the outside world from inside, feeling isolated and expressing a sense of desperation.
I steam it up, but it don't last.
-I am a man after all and I'm dying here.
-I had it good, now I get none.
Reflecting on a past time of prosperity, contrasting with the current state of lacking and watching someone else enjoying freedom.
I had all but those days are done.
-Now I get to watch you run around down there.
-And it's a beautiful day outside.
Reiterating the irony of the beautiful day outside while the speaker is imprisoned emotionally.
And it's a beautiful day outside.
-There's all these girls outside wrapped up in winter clothes,
Observing others outside, struggling with imagination and the inability to escape the thoughts of the person who is the source of pain.
My imagination grows, I can't convince my eye to close.
-You're on the town again and I'm downing in your bed,
Expressing the impact of the person's presence and perfume on the speaker's mind, causing emotional distress.
You're perfume it's in my head, and it's driving me,
-Driving me, driving me, driving me.
-And it's a beautiful day outside.
Repeating the contrast between the beautiful day outside and the speaker's internal struggle.
And it's a beautiful day outside.
-And it's a beautiful day outside.
-And it's a beautiful day outside.
Emphasizing the ongoing irony of the beautiful day despite the speaker's emotional turmoil.
