Sugar
Navigating the Labyrinth of Metaphors: Thea Gilmore's 'Sugar' Insights
Lyrics
Would you look at this place
Reflecting on the current environment or situation.
There's a sign on the wall
There's a noticeable indication or message prominently displayed.
We are all suddenly free
Suddenly, everyone is liberated or released.
We don't pull any punches at all
We're being completely honest and direct.
Imagination runs riot
Imagination is uncontrolled and unrestricted.
There's a choice of three doors
Multiple choices or paths are available.
Tell me what's a pretty girl to do
Questioning what a girl should do in a metaphorical or complex situation.
In a land of metaphors
Being in a world full of symbolic representations.
You can take me home
Invitation to take someone to their home.
You can take it on through
Encouragement to continue forward.
You can lay me in your bed
Offering intimacy or vulnerability by being in one's bed.
Tell me to say stop when I want you to
Permission to set boundaries during intimacy.
But don't you dare
Emphatic repetition of not calling a person 'sugar'.
But don't you dare
-But don't you dare
-Call me sugar
Objecting to being referred to as 'sugar'.
Little baby innocence
Reiteration of objection to being called 'sugar'.
With a couple of silent scars
-I've got a head with too much sense
-And a mouth full of nervous laughs
-Well you might get off easy
-But I don't dance to your tune
-You might think you're putting pressure on me but honey
-This is a vacuum
-You can take me home
-You can take it on through
-You can lay me in your bed
-Tell me to say stop when I want you to
-But don't you dare
-But don't you dare
-But don't you dare
-Call me sugar
-Well you can shut up now, I'm talking
-I am so sick of your one-line conversation
-They say learn to walk before you can run
-Maybe you should learn to talk before you injure someone
-You can take me home
-You can take it on through
-You can lay me in your bed
-Tell me to say stop when I want you to
-But don't you dare
-But don't you dare
-But don't you dare, don't you dare
-Call me sugar
-Well you might get off easy
Reinforcing the resistance to being controlled or pressured.
But I don't dance to your tune
-You might think you're putting pressure on me but honey
-This is a vacuum
