Somethingsweet
Lost in Love's Deception: Sun Casino's 'Somethingsweet' Tale
Lyrics
Well I saw you there
Observation of someone's presence
You were looking good
Positive comment on the person's appearance
The cars slowed down
Notable event of cars slowing down
In my neighborhood
Location context in the neighborhood
You were something sweet
Complimenting the person as "something sweet"
But oh so neat
Emphasizing the person's attractiveness and orderliness
Come on over babe
Invitation to approach
And take a seat
Encouraging the person to take a seat
Take a seat
Repetition for emphasis
Oh no
Expression of concern or realization
And I find myself
Personal reflection on the speaker's actions
I'm sitting there
Continuation of the speaker's location
With nobody to hold me down
Feeling unburdened by commitments
You're not around anymore
Acknowledgment of the person's absence
And I see right through all those things
Seeing through deceptive behavior
That you said to my best friend
Reference to dishonesty with the speaker's friend
You're not you anymore
Perceived change in the person's character
Well I saw you there
Repetition of the initial sighting
You were looking clean
Positive comment on cleanliness
The cars sped up
Contrasting event of cars speeding up
Those fast machines
Reference to fast cars/machines
You were looking smooth
Complimenting the person's smoothness and cruelty
But oh so cruel
Invitation for the person to come over
Come on over babe
Expressing vulnerability to being deceived
Make me your fool
Willingness to be deceived by the person
Make me your fool
Repetition for emphasis
Oh no
Expression of concern or realization
And I find myself
Continuation of personal reflection
I'm sitting here
Reiteration of the speaker's solitary state
With nobody to hold me down
Feeling unburdened by commitments (repeated)
You're not around anymore
Acknowledgment of the person's continued absence
One!
Counting, possibly indicating frustration or impatience
Two!
Counting (repeated)
Three!
-Four!
-I see right through all those things
Reiteration of seeing through deception
That you said to my best friend
Repetition of dishonesty with the speaker's friend
You're not you anymore
Confirmation of the perceived change in the person
