Unraveling the Paradox of Love
Lyrics
A woman is a female who is human,
A woman is a human female.
Designed for pleasing man, the human male.
Women are designed to please the human male.
A human male is pleased by many women,
Men find pleasure in many women, dismissing other narratives as fairy tales.
And all the rest you hear is fairy tale.
The idea that men are satisfied with only one woman is considered a fairy tale.
Then tell me how this fairy tale began, sir.
Asking about the origin of this narrative, challenging it as more than a poet's invention.
You cannot call it just a poet's trick
Questioning the notion, asking for an explanation beyond poetic imagination.
Explain to me why many men are faithful
Seeking an explanation for why some men are faithful and committed to one wife.
And true to one wife only.
Expressing doubt or disbelief in the fidelity of men to only one woman.
They are sick!
Dismissing the idea of faithful men as a form of sickness.
A girl must be like a blossom
Describing an idealized image of a girl as a blossom, with exclusive sweetness for one man.
With honey for just one man.
Emphasizing that a girl should reserve her sweetness for only one man.
A man must be like honey bee
Comparing a man to a honey bee, suggesting he should gather affection from multiple sources.
And gather all he can.
Encouraging men to collect affection from different women, akin to a honey bee gathering nectar.
To fly from blossom to blossom
Stressing the necessity for a honey bee to remain free and not be confined to one blossom.
A honey bee must be free,
Contrasting the freedom of the honey bee with the expectation that a blossom should remain loyal.
But blossom must not ever fly
Advising against a blossom seeking multiple partners, unlike a honey bee's behavior.
From bee to bee to bee.
Reiterating the expectation that a blossom should remain faithful to one partner, emphasizing a contrast with the honey bee's behavior.
