Mad About the Boy
Enchanted Melancholy: Unveiling the Intricate Desires in 'Mad About the Boy'
Lyrics
Mad about the boy
Expressing intense infatuation or love for the boy.
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy
Acknowledging the irrationality of being obsessed with the boy.
I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had
Feeling shame but confessing to sleepless nights caused by thoughts of the boy.
About the boy
Reiterating the preoccupation with thoughts about the boy.
On the silverscreen
Referring to the boy's presence in movies or media.
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene
Describing how the boy captivates and affects the speaker's heart in cinematic scenes.
Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad
Acknowledging that the boy has negative qualities ("traces of the cad").
About the boy
Revisiting the emotional impact of thoughts about the boy.
Lord knows I'm not a fool girl
Asserting self-awareness and denying foolishness despite the infatuation.
I really shouldn't care
Recognizing the impracticality of caring for the boy.
Lord knows I'm not a school girl
Reiterating maturity and experience in contrast to youthful naivety.
In the flurry of her first affair
Referencing past romantic experiences and downplaying their significance.
Will it ever cloy
Pondering whether the infatuation will ever become tiresome.
This odd diversity of misery and joy
Reflecting on the mix of suffering and happiness caused by thoughts of the boy.
I'm feeling quite insane and young again
Feeling a return to a youthful and irrational state due to the infatuation.
And all because I'm mad about the boy
Summarizing the emotional state as being madly in love with the boy.
So if I could employ
Expressing a desire to end the infatuation using magical means.
A little magic that will finally destroy
Hoping for a resolution to the dream that causes emotional pain and captivity.
This dream that pains me and enchains me
Describing the dream as both painful and enslaving.
But I can't because I'm mad
Reiterating the inability to end the infatuation due to being madly in love.
I'm mad about the boy
Affirming the continued intense love and obsession with the boy.
