Who Are You
Unmasking Shadows: Scarlett Johansson's Enigmatic Odyssey
Lyrics
They're lining up
People are queuing up
To mad dog your tilta whirl
To confront or challenge your unstable situation
3 shots for a dollar
Three shots available for one dollar
Win a real live doll
Chance to win a real person as a prize
All the lies that you tell
Deceptive statements you've made
I believed them so well
Believed those lies deeply
Take them back
Call to retract those lies
Take them back
-To your red house
Referencing a place of emotional significance
For that fearful leap
A metaphorical, frightening step
Into the dark
A reference to facing the unknown or a challenging situation
I did my time
Spent time in a difficult relationship
In the jail of your arms
Symbolic imprisonment in the embrace of the person
Now Ophelia wants to know
Another person seeking guidance
Where she should turn
Asking for direction in a difficult situation
Tell me
What did you do
Questioning actions in a past instance
What did you
-Do the last time?
-Why don't you do that
Suggesting a negative interpretation of advice given
Go on ahead
-And take this the wrong way
-Time's not your friend
-Do you cry
Asking about emotional responses and consequences
Do you pray
-Do you wish them away
-Do you still leave nothing
-But bones in the way
-Did you bury the carnival
Metaphorically asking if the joy has been buried
Lions and all
-Excuse me while
Interrupting to focus on personal care
I sharpen my nails
-And just
Raising the question of identity in the current situation
Who are you this time?
-You look rather tired
Observing fatigue or weariness
(Who drinks from your shoe)
A sarcastic remark about unconventional behavior
Are you pretending to love
Acting falsely in love for material gain
Well, I hear that it pays well
Mentioning the lucrative nature of such pretense
How do your pistol
Questioning the coexistence of violence, religion, and self-harm
And your Bible and your
-Sleeping pills go?
-Are you still
Asking about engaging in risky behavior despite wealth
Jumping out of windows
-In expensive clothes?
-Well I fell in love
Falling in love with someone's rough exterior and emotional pain
With your sailor's mouth
-And your wounded eyes
-You better get down on the floor
Advising caution in a challenging situation
Don't you know this is war
-Tell me who are you this time?
Persistently questioning someone's identity in different circumstances
Tell me who are you this time?
