Esther
Esther's Evolution: A Tale of Transformation
Lyrics
Esther's been reading books
Esther has been engaging in reading books.
She's changed the way that she talks and the way that she looks
Esther has altered her speech and appearance.
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
Her coffee is now black, and her clothing style has changed accordingly.
She's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose
Esther has shaved her hair and added a nose ring.
Esther's been watching movies
Esther has been watching movies, possibly influencing her desired self-image.
And she must have seen someone that she would like to be
She might have found someone in the movies she aspires to be like.
With looks like hers she could be on the screen
Despite her looks, she is criticized for being a poor actor.
But she's the worst actor that I've ever seen
The speaker has known Esther for a long time.
Esther I've known you for ages
Despite the familiarity, the changes in Esther's life have created distance.
And I've watched you through all the changes
Reflecting on the history of their friendship amidst current changes.
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
They used to be close friends but are now growing apart.
But now we're becoming strangers
Esther has burned bridges, possibly severed connections or relationships.
Esther's been burning bridges
Recalling a period when Esther embraced religion but later abandoned it.
I remember the time when she turned religious
Turning away from the church, choosing a different path.
But soon she turned her back on the church
Esther is on a quest for something unknown to her.
And brushed it aside to continue the search
Suggesting Esther is seeking something that may not even exist.
Because Esther's been searching for something
Reflecting on the changes in their shared activities.
She doesn't quite know what it is
The speaker still thinks about Esther despite her apparent detachment.
Yes Esther's been looking for something
Esther is experiencing loneliness after distancing herself from people.
Maybe something that doesn't exist
She has cut off ties with those who were supportive friends.
Esther, isn't it funny how we don't do the things we used to do?
Reiterating the long-standing acquaintance with Esther.
You don't think about that anymore Esther,
Observing Esther's transformations throughout different phases.
but Esther, I still think about you.
They used to be close friends but are now growing apart.
Esther's been getting lonely
The speaker expresses concern for Esther's increasing isolation.
After she cut herself off from the only
Highlighting Esther's self-imposed isolation from her support system.
People on whom she could depend
Emphasizing the importance of the severed connections.
People who were happy to call her their friend
Recalling the history of their friendship amidst current changes.
Esther I've known you for ages
They used to be close friends but are now growing apart.
And I've watched you through all the stages
Reflecting on the history of their friendship amidst current changes.
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
They used to be close friends but are now growing apart.
But now we're becoming strangers
A direct mention of Esther, perhaps conveying a deeper emotion.
Oh Esther
A repetition, possibly emphasizing the emotional weight of the situation.
Oh Esther
Another repetition, possibly for emotional emphasis.
