Come To The Ball
Dancing in Tawdriness: Unveiling Hidden Desires in 'Come To The Ball'
Lyrics
You look so statuesque
You appear elegant and still like a statue.
In your soft lip with dress
You're wearing a soft, lip-width dress made of silver, not gold.
Out of silver, not gold
Emphasizing the material of the dress and possibly highlighting a contrast between silver and gold.
And the way, the way that you are bold
Commending the boldness in your demeanor.
Oh, how it's tawdry you know
Commenting on the cheap or showy nature of something.
But it's a dance in the corridor, cold
Despite its tawdriness, there's a dance happening in a cold corridor.
The paintings cover up the walls
Pictures or paintings are covering the walls.
Well, come to the dance come to the ball
An invitation to join the dance or ball.
Are you hungry? I got plenty to eat
Asking if you're hungry and offering plenty to eat.
Something strange
Referring to something unusual.
That tastes bitter and sweet
A taste that is both bitter and sweet.
It's gonna get cold before it gets warm
Anticipating a cold atmosphere before it warms up.
Come to the dance come to the ball
Reiterating the invitation to come to the dance or ball.
Can we be together? Can it be forever?
Pondering the possibility of being together forever.
Just our night
Focusing on the present moment, possibly a night of shared experience.
The big room ain't been stеpped in for years
The large room hasn't been used for years, setting a scene of neglect.
But a soft song playing therе were no cheers
A soft song plays, but there is no applause or cheers.
Big love at some of the shows
Reflecting on significant love experienced at some shows or events.
Well, come to the dance come to the ball
Repeating the invitation to come to the dance or ball.
You wanna play games or you wanna talk?
Prompting a choice between playing games or engaging in meaningful conversation.
It's gonna get cold before it gets warm
Expecting a cold period before warmth arrives.
Come to the dance come to the ball
Reiterating the invitation to come to the dance or ball.
Come to the dance
Repeating the call to come to the dance.
You wanna play games or you wanna talk?
Restating the choice between playing games or having a meaningful conversation.
Come to the dance come to the ball
Reiterating the invitation to come to the dance or ball.
Come to the dance
A final call to come to the dance.
