The Wild Wind
Unraveling the Threads of Bad Behavior in 'The Wild Wind'
Lyrics
By the way you are behaving
Observing your current behavior
I should be shaking my head
Expressing disapproval or disbelief
Someone else will have to explain it(x2)
Expressing the need for someone else to explain the situation
Took at wind the dust was honest
Noting the honesty in the wind carrying dust
Took it in when the stars surround us
Acknowledging the stars surrounding the speaker
Conversation is sloping off
Conversation is gradually diminishing
And you know he must make a mistake
Suggesting someone is making a mistake
At this time they were slippery
Describing slipperiness at a certain time
And they were surrounded by them
Being surrounded by something or someone
And all they wore was their behavior
People only judged by their behavior
Their bad behavior(bad behavior)
Emphasizing the negative aspect of their behavior
You are looking humiliated
Feeling embarrassed or degraded
You say that I'm as naked as I am
Stating vulnerability or exposure
As naked as a woman
Comparing nakedness to that of a woman
Naked as a man
Comparing nakedness to that of a man
And you must bring us half an hour
Requesting a positive turn of events within half an hour
Of good luck when you can
Asking for good luck
You must bring the appeal of laughter if you can
Encouraging laughter and joy
You're surrounded by a halo that is sloping off(sloping off)
Noting the fading or diminishing quality of a halo
You get that curious look clamped to your mouth
Describing a curious look on someone's face
Wipe it away with the back of your hand
Suggesting wiping away the curious look with the back of the hand
You're back that way hating again
Noting a return to a negative or hateful state
The falling light(x3)
Repetition of the falling light, possibly emphasizing a sense of decline or loss
