Tongue Tied Twisted
Tangled Memories: Love's Dance and Ego's Twist
Lyrics
I'm in a memory
I am reminiscing about the past.
Think I hear the trumpets play
Suggesting a festive or celebratory atmosphere with trumpets playing.
You're looking fancy
Describing someone in an elegant or stylish manner.
My first dance, your first kiss, my lucky day
Recalling significant moments: first dance, first kiss, a fortunate day.
Is it me or did that swine just fly right by
Expressing surprise or disbelief, using a metaphorical flying swine.
But I'm in a memory
Continuing the theme of reminiscing about the past.
So not everything's quite right
Acknowledging imperfections in the memory.
Now I've got everybody watching as I move like Jackson
Feeling under scrutiny while dancing, referencing Michael Jackson's moves.
Just you and me and suddenly I'm two left feet, red skin
Being clumsy and self-conscious, possibly due to nervousness.
I would say
Expressing a thought or opinion about the situation.
You've got me tangled up in knots
Feeling emotionally entangled or confused.
T-t-t-t-tongue tied and twisted I can't talk
Experiencing difficulty in speaking due to emotional turmoil.
Feeling sick, how could I let my ego get so big
Regretting an inflated ego and its consequences.
I was just a kid
Reflecting on youthful innocence, stating being just a kid.
I'm just
Emphasizing the simplicity of the speaker's identity.
I'm just a memory
Reiterating the theme of being immersed in a memory.
Blind as a bat says Jane
Quoting a saying, implying the speaker's lack of foresight.
Hindsight is twenties
Playing on the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20," emphasizing retrospective clarity.
Doctor gave me bed rest for days
Referencing a doctor's advice for rest, possibly metaphorical or literal.
Anytime I need you by my side
Expressing a desire for someone's constant presence.
Now that's just a wishful lie
Realizing the wishful nature of the desire.
But I'm in a memory
Continuing the theme of being in a memory.
So, can't count the times that I
Indicating the difficulty in quantifying attempts to impress.
Try to impress your mother
Expressing a desire to win approval, especially from parents.
Glare at your father
Expressing disapproval or resentment towards a father figure.
Why can't he lend me his daughter
Desiring acceptance or approval to form a romantic relationship.
I would say
Repeating the feeling of being entangled or confused.
You've got me tangled up in knots
Reiterating the emotional confusion and entanglement.
T-t-t-t-tongue tied and twisted I can't talk
Repeating the difficulty in expressing oneself due to emotional turmoil.
Feeling sick, how could I let my ego get so big?
Reiterating regret for letting ego influence actions negatively.
I was just a kid
Recalling a time when mistakes were made in youth.
I'm just
Reiterating the simplicity of the speaker's identity.
Curse the day I act my age
Cursing a moment of maturity or acting according to one's age.
You could be my remedy
Referring to someone as a potential solution or cure.
And on that day of 2008
Pointing to a specific year as a turning point for finding solace.
You will be my remedy
Reiterating the belief that someone will be the remedy.
I would say, yeah
Repeating the emotional entanglement and confusion.
You've got me tangled up in knots
