Shaded Emotions: Sunglasses Unveiling Secrets
Lyrics
I got my swimcap and comb and my paperback book that I'm almost through
I have my swimcap, comb, and a paperback book that I'm almost done reading.
I got my lipstick and mirror and my suntan lotion and my cam'ra too
I have my lipstick, mirror, suntan lotion, and camera with me.
I got my beach bag full of all the necessary items for a day in the sun
I have a beach bag with all the necessary items for a day in the sun.
And of course it wouldn't be like me if I didn't bring along
It wouldn't be like me if I didn't bring some sunglasses along.
Some sunglasses hmm to hide behind sunglasses mhm to cry behind
I use sunglasses to hide my emotions, to cry behind, and to die behind.
Sunglasses mhm to die behind
Continuing the theme of using sunglasses as a shield from emotional pain.
Dear while I lie and cry and sigh and hurt and watch you while you flirt
Expressing emotional distress while observing someone flirt with someone new.
With your somebody new makin' me blue
Feeling sad and hurt as the person being flirted with moves on.
I brought my towel and transistor radio so I could tell all the time
Bringing a towel and transistor radio to distract from thoughts through music and updates.
Cause the Top Forty records and the weather sports will get you off of my mind
Using Top Forty records and weather sports updates to keep thoughts away from the past relationship.
I'll rent an umbrella from the lifeguard fella with the dreamy eyes
Planning to rent an umbrella from a lifeguard with dreamy eyes.
And you can bet I couldn't forget my old standby's
Ensuring not to forget familiar and comforting items.
My sunglasses hmm to hide behind...
Reiterating the use of sunglasses as a shield from emotions.
Sunglasses sunglasses sunglasses
Repetition of the importance of sunglasses in the emotional context.
