Girls
Ephemeral Love: Tina Turner's Reflection on Fleeting Moments
Lyrics
Girls, we come and we go
Girls, as individuals, come and go in life.
We kiss, come and we go
Intermittent experiences of kissing, representing fleeting connections.
Like a breeze brushing your cheek
Comparing the transience of relationships to a gentle breeze.
Like pain, like the tears on a face
Describing emotional pain and tears on someone's face.
Girls
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the focus on girls.
Girls, we come and we go
Repeating the idea that girls come and go, likening them to spirits disappearing at dawn.
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of love, with the heart seemingly frozen in time.
My heart suspended in time
Expressing the vanishing aspect, drawing parallels to tears disappearing like rain.
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain
