Funeral
Funeral Charm: Unveiling the Allure in Life's Departures
Lyrics
You put the "fun" in funeral
You bring enjoyment to a solemn event like a funeral.
The "I" in Idaho
You represent the self ("I") in a less glamorous or exciting context, comparing it to Idaho.
You light it up, push down the clutch
You ignite something, possibly metaphorically, and engage in a controlled release (push down the clutch).
You've got away with words
You have a skillful way with words.
You left me with a lot to think about
Your departure has left me with significant thoughts and reflections.
As you're heading out the door
You are leaving, prompting a realization of better alternatives ("better ways") that are now departing.
My better ways, packed up the bags
Your positive qualities (better ways) are leaving, flying away with the birds.
And got away with the birds
On your birthday, I experienced a low point and may stay down until May.
I fell down on yr birthday,
Repeated line emphasizing the joy brought to a funeral setting.
I won't get back up til May
Suggesting a destructive or intense emotion by filling up with gasoline.
You put the "fun" in funeral
Reiteration of the enjoyment added to a funeral atmosphere.
Fill me up with gasoline
Metaphorical expression, possibly suggesting a fueling of intensity or passion.
You've got the charm
You possess a charismatic and attractive quality.
To make you a star, or a star on tv
Your charm can make you a star, whether in real life or on television.
You've got the looks to make you a star
Your physical appearance is suitable for featuring on a magazine cover.
On the cover of a magazine
Continuation of the idea that your looks can make you a star in media.
You've got eyes that cut like glass
Your eyes have a sharp and cutting quality, akin to glass.
Like two blue diamond windows
A simile describing the brightness and clarity of the person's eyes.
You've got a smile big as a mile
Your smile is exceptionally large and joyful.
It takes me from there to there
Your smile has a transformative effect, taking the observer from one emotional state to another.
You've got a lot of soul, it's all so beautiful
You possess a significant amount of soul, and everything about you is beautiful.
You've got the spirit on your side
The spirit, likely referring to a positive and energetic essence, is on your side.
You've got the spirit on your side
Reiteration of the idea that a positive spirit is aligned with you.
You've got the spirit on your side
Further emphasis on having a positive spirit supporting you.
You've got a lot of soul, it's all so beautiful
You possess a substantial amount of soul, and everything about you is beautiful (repeated from line 21).
