Heroine
Love's Enigma Unveiled: Syd Silvair's Heroine Revealed
Lyrics
You looked at me like I was a color TV in 1953
You perceived me with a sense of novelty, like a color TV in the year 1953.
You looked at me like I was your skeleton key
You regarded me as the solution to your problems, like a skeleton key unlocks doors.
I’m sorry it’s not so simple
I apologize for the complexity of the situation.
(Ooh) Tonight I-I’ll be your heroine
Expressing a commitment to be your savior or source of strength tonight.
(Ooh) But then you’d better run
However, after that, you should flee or escape.
(Ooh) I promise I am a dead end
Assuring that the speaker is a dead end, not a path to a solution or happiness.
(Ooh) I’m not the one
Clarifying that the speaker is not the one you should rely on or choose.
I look at you and I see a bluejay
The speaker sees in you a bluejay, a bird, lost in a winter scene.
Lost in a northern winter scene
Describing a mirage when you look at the speaker, reminiscent of a paradise in tropical green.
You look at me and it’s a mirage
The speaker warns you about the complexity of their goodness, likening it to a comforting sleep.
Of paradise in tropic green
Expressing a desire for purity in the speaker's blood, apologizing for the reality.
I’m warning you ‘cause I think you’re good
Issuing a warning about the speaker's goodness, suggesting it may not be as simple as it seems.
As a honey and chamomile kind of sleep
Comparing the speaker's goodness to a soothing combination of honey and chamomile in sleep.
I wish my blood was pure as you thought it was
Expressing a wish for the speaker's blood to be as pure as others believe.
I’m sorry it’s not so simple
Reiterating an apology for the complexity of the situation.
(Ooh) Tonight I-I’ll be your heroine
Reaffirming the commitment to be your heroine tonight.
(Ooh) But then you’d better run
Emphasizing the need for you to run after the speaker becomes your heroine.
(Ooh) I promise I am a dead end
Assuring that the speaker is a dead end, not a path to a solution or happiness.
(Ooh) I’m not the one
Reiterating that the speaker is not the one you should rely on or choose.

Not for me, no
