So Hard Done By
Monumental Reflections: Depths Beyond Celebrations
Lyrics
Interesting and sophisticated
Expressing that the subject matter is intriguing and sophisticated.
Refusing to be celebrated
Rejecting the idea of seeking recognition or praise.
It's a monumental big screen kiss
Describing a significant and dramatic on-screen kiss.
It's so deep, it's meaningless
Highlighting the depth of the kiss but suggesting it lacks true meaning.
One day you'll just up and quit
Suggesting a future action of abruptly quitting or giving up.
Then that'll be it
Indicating finality or conclusion when the quitting happens.
Just then the stripper stopped in a coughing fit
Describing an interruption during a performance by a stripper.
She said, "sorry, I can't go on with this"
The stripper apologizing and refusing to continue the act.
Yeah, that's awful close
Commenting on the closeness of a situation, possibly uncomfortable.
But that's not why
Clarifying that the closeness mentioned is not the reason for feeling hard done by.
I'm so hard done by
Expressing a sense of being unfairly treated or disadvantaged.
It was true cinéma à clef
Describing a true cinematic representation with hidden meanings.
You should see it before there's nothing left
Encouraging observation before the subject disappears or is no longer available.
In an epic too small to be tragic
Characterizing an epic event that is too small to be tragic.
You'll have to wait a minute
Indicating a need to wait momentarily due to the use of an Instamatic camera.
'Cause it's an Instamatic
Empty line, no specific meaning provided.
Yeah, that's awful close
Commenting on the proximity of a situation, but not attributing it to the hardship.
But that's not why
Stating again that the closeness is not the reason for feeling hard done by.
I'm so hard done by
Expressing a sense of being unfairly treated or disadvantaged.
Just then the room became more dimly lit
Describing a dimming of the room during an event.
As the MC carried on with it
Continuation of an event by the Master of Ceremonies despite the dimming.
And now that I've got you all strangely compelled
Acknowledging a captivated audience and introducing a character named Candy who is unwell.
I'm afraid Candy's not feeling well
Revealing that Candy, a performer, is not feeling well.
Close, but that's not why
Reiterating that the closeness mentioned earlier is not the cause of feeling hard done by.
I'm so hard done by
Expressing a sense of being unfairly treated or disadvantaged.
