The Butcher's Daughter
Mysterious Charms Unveiled: The Butcher's Daughter Tale
Lyrics
Here I was minding my own business
The narrator was occupied with their own affairs.
Sipping lemonade one hot summer day
Relaxing with a drink on a hot summer day.
On the blacktop melted in New York City
Describing the hot pavement in New York City.
Full of pity with hardly but a word to say
Feeling pity or sadness with few words to express.
From the corner of my view she was shady
Noticing a mysterious and suspicious person in the narrator's peripheral vision.
Holding daisies walking high like a cool drink of water
The mysterious person, the butcher's daughter, is described as attractive and refreshing.
In her sundress the butcher's daughter
Further details about the butcher's daughter and her carefree demeanor.
Nobody caught her
Emphasizing that no one noticed or apprehended her.
Nobody taught her that she could cry
She wasn't taught or expected to show vulnerability by crying.
She sold me on being her only
The narrator was convinced to be the only one for her.
I was too lonely to understand why
The narrator's loneliness influenced their understanding.
And slowly she came on showed me
Gradual revelation of the butcher's daughter's backstory.
There was a story behind her eyes
Recognition that there is a hidden narrative in her eyes.
There was no slip in her step
Describing the grace and confidence in her movement.
No end to her depth
Highlighting the depth and mystery in her character.
I was mesmerized, pressurized
The narrator feels captivated and pressured.
My sanity was jeopardized
The intense experience endangers the narrator's sanity.
She was shade and fully made
Portraying the butcher's daughter as a complete and captivating figure.
Put together like a work of art, a museum treasure
Comparing her to a valuable piece of art in a museum.
And I was too far gone
The narrator acknowledges being deeply involved.
She sold me on being her only
Reiteration of the narrator being convinced to be her only.
I was too lonely to understand why
Re-emphasis on the narrator's loneliness affecting comprehension.
And slowly she came on showed me
Continuation of the gradual revelation of the butcher's daughter's story.
There was a story behind her eyes
Recognition of the depth in the butcher's daughter's eyes.
I'm gonna keep on running hotter
Expressing determination to persist in pursuing her.
I'm gonna keep on running hotter
Repetition of the determination to persist and pursue.
I'm gonna keep on running hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter
Intensifying the commitment to pursue passionately.
She sold me on being her only
Reiteration of being convinced to be her only.
I was too lonely to understand why
Re-emphasis on the narrator's loneliness influencing understanding.
And slowly she came on showed me
Continuation of the gradual revelation of the butcher's daughter's story.
There was a story behind her eyes
Recognition of the depth in the butcher's daughter's eyes.
