Lyrics
I found this picture the other day
I discovered a picture recently.
It was so amazing I hung it up
It was so impressive that I decided to display it.
My friends said "That's by the girl next door
My friends informed me that it's created by the girl next door.
She doesn't think she's very good at all."
Despite her talent, she lacks confidence in her abilities.
And then one day Sara came around
One day, Sara came and requested the removal of the picture.
"Please would you take that thing down?"
She not only covered it up but also tore it apart.
She blacked it out and then she ripped it up
Sara hid herself in a metaphorical paper bag, perhaps feeling vulnerable or ashamed.
And hid herself in a paper bag
Roses are red and the dinner is done
Transition to a scene where things seem pleasant and romantic.
You seem to be happy and so in love
The speaker observes happiness and love in someone's life.
She had disappeared long ago
A person, possibly Sara, had disappeared a while ago.
Waiting for Arthur to come through her window
Waiting for someone named Arthur, reminiscent of a fairy-tale scenario.
Here I am, my love
Shift to the speaker announcing their presence and love.
But nobody came and the mist fell down
No one arrives, and a sense of disappointment sets in.
Her friends transformed into cane toads
Metaphorical transformation of friends into negative entities (cane toads).
Sitting in a room knowing all's a gas
People are aware that everything is an illusion or deceptive.
And Arthur was replaced by a spacecraft
Arthur is replaced by something otherworldly, like a spacecraft.
You want the kiss of life
Desire for a rejuvenating experience.
Open up your heart
Encouragement to open up emotionally.
Then step inside
Invitation to step inside one's heart.
And you'll be alright
The promise that everything will be alright.
You want the kiss of life
Repetition of the desire for a revitalizing experience.
Open up your heart
Repeat of the invitation to open up emotionally.
And step inside
Repeat of the invitation to step inside one's heart.
And you'll be alright
Reiteration of the assurance that everything will be alright.
But she can sing like my shore
Comparison of someone's singing to a shoreline.
It calls her name it's pure and true
The shore calls her name, signifying a pure and true connection.
And she runs toward this unbelievable love
She runs towards an incredible love she dreams of.
A love she's dreaming of
A declaration that the speaker is the listener's inner child.
My child I am you
I am
Concluding affirmation of unity and connection.
