A Girl Called Johnny
A Girl Called Johnny: Embracing Change Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
I remember Johnny, hey
I have a memory of someone named Johnny
Johnny come lately
Johnny arrived relatively recently or at a later time
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
I recall her footwear resembling that of a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Referring to a person named Johnny, a girl
Changed her name when she
She changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to
Realized she had the option to
Change or to be changed
Choose to change or be changed by external forces
I remember a girl called Johnny
Recollection of a girl named Johnny
Black as hell and white as a ghost
Describing Johnny with a contrasting mix of attributes
"Don't talk about life or death"
Advising against discussing profound topics
She said I've had enough of both
Expressing exhaustion from experiencing both life and death
A girl called Johnny who was not scared
Referring to a fearless girl named Johnny
They'd have torn her to pieces but
People would have attacked her violently, but
Who would dare?
There was no one brave enough to do so
I remember a girl called Johnny
Recollection of a girl named Johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
A train arrived in town, and she boarded it
With no looking back, with not a word
She left without looking back, without saying a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
If she said goodbye, the speaker didn't hear it
But the noise goes on
The noise, the chaos continues
The noise, the jazz
Referring to the persistent noise and jazz music
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
The truth of the situation is beyond her control
And the house that a girl called johnny built
The metaphorical house that Johnny built is now destroyed
Is now just ashes and sand
What remains is only ashes and sand
