The Guy With the Expensive Shoes
Love's Battlefield: Beware the Charms of the Guy With Expensive Shoes
Lyrics
He looks very calm, sitting from the stands
Observing a calm individual from a distance in a spectator area
We are all on the battlefield
Metaphorical reference to life as a battlefield where everyone is engaged in struggles
Don't you feel bad?
Raising the question about feeling remorse or sorrow
We are wounded and he keeps the bounty, now...
Expressing frustration that despite injuries, someone is benefiting from the situation
I thought I had achieved it, but it was a dream
Realization that an accomplishment was merely a dream
The gears in his "Armani"
Reference to the expensive brand "Armani" and its association with the person's character
Or his stupid tricks
Mention of the person's behavior or actions perceived as foolish
Now she is hypnotized by his...
Indication that someone is captivated or enchanted by the person with expensive shoes
Tight shirts, no more replies
Not receiving responses due to the person's tight shirts
Tight shirts, he is ready to attack
Emphasizing readiness for action associated with tight shirts
Tight shirts, watch out, watch out
A warning or alert regarding the person with expensive shoes
The guy with the expensive shoes
Identifying the person as the one with expensive shoes
He is just a lout
Labeling the person as uncouth or ill-mannered
What really shakes me, is that she rejected
Expressing surprise or disturbance about rejection in favor of another person
The kind secret admirer
The preference for an anonymous admirer over someone attractive but perhaps less genuine
For a gorgeous mucker
Choosing a charming but superficial companion
That only looks for a decent motel
Highlighting the shallow intentions of the chosen companion
You must carefully choose your sweethearts
Emphasizing the importance of selecting partners wisely
And this rich boy
Commenting on the wealth of the chosen individual
Had red knuckles
Describing physical characteristics, possibly suggesting aggression
And he will get so bored of you, that's for sure
Predicting that the wealthy person will lose interest
Tight shirts, no more replies
Reiteration of lack of responses due to tight shirts
Tight shirts, he is ready to attack
Reemphasizing readiness for action associated with tight shirts
Tight shirts, watch out, watch out
Repeating the warning about the person with expensive shoes
The guy with the expensive shoes
Reiterating the identification of the person with expensive shoes
He is just a lout
Reiterating the negative characterization of the person as uncouth
Tight shirts, no more replies
Continuation of lack of responses due to tight shirts
I could have done it, but here I am so
Expressing a missed opportunity or regret
Tight shirts, watch out, watch out
Reemphasizing readiness for action despite circumstances
Give two or more drinks cause I'm still too shy
Desire for more confidence through consuming alcohol
She thinks he is what she deserves
Belief that the person with expensive shoes is a suitable match
But so much discourtesy has covered her head
Recognition of the negative traits or rudeness of the chosen individual
When nostalgia lets her see
Anticipation of a future realization when looking back with nostalgia
She'll realize, she'll realize
Expectation that the person will recognize the mistake in choices
She thinks he is what she deserves
Reiteration of the belief in the suitability of the person with expensive shoes
But so much discourtesy has covered her head
Reiteration of the negative traits or rudeness of the chosen individual
When nostalgia lets her see
Reiteration of the anticipation of a future realization
She'll realize that I'm not waiting
Indication of no longer waiting due to a personal decision
Cause I'm not wearing a...
Unfinished statement about not wearing something, leaving it open-ended
