Princess Jasmine of Tinseltown
Tinseltown's Tragic Tale: Princess Jasmine's Descent
Lyrics
There was no false perspective here
There is no distorted or deceptive view in this situation.
She was so very sad and sickened
The subject (Princess Jasmine) is deeply unhappy and disgusted.
In the name of art she was to be here
She is obligated to be present in the context of art.
Dying like all of the others?
Is she destined to die like others involved in this artistic endeavor?
Nauseated, Jasmine stood her ground
Despite feeling nauseated, Jasmine remains steadfast.
While all of the Tinsel people,
The inhabitants of Tinseltown, described as soulless and evil, are busy.
Soulless and evil, worked the town
They are working on the town, contributing to its negative atmosphere.
Tinseltown damned
A condemnation of Tinseltown, suggesting damnation or moral decay.
Said she was a princess now in need of conversation
Jasmine claims to be a princess seeking meaningful conversation.
She wanted more from those, that never gave jubilation,
She desires more from those who have not provided joy or celebration.
When rubbed so slightly
When treated with slight kindness, her reaction is now explored.
Now here we go, back below...
The narrative transitions, possibly referring to returning to a difficult situation.
Into this metropolitan hell hole
Descending back into a nightmarish urban environment.
It is not the talent that let's you live...
Survival in this context is not determined by talent but by unpleasant qualities.
It is the ugliest of things
Life is sustained by the ugliest aspects of existence.
