All Dressed Up
Unveiling Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
Don't you see
Expressing a plea or desire for understanding.
I'm the one for you, you're the one for me
Asserting a mutual connection and compatibility.
Don't you see
Reiterating the plea for recognition and understanding.
The love I've got is the love you need
Claiming that the love possessed is what the other person requires.
Don't you see
Continuing the plea for acknowledgment and comprehension.
I'm all dressed up
Expressing readiness and preparation to fulfill the expectations of the other person.
To be what you want
-Me to be I'm all dressed up
-To be what you want me to be
-I'm all dressed up
-All dressed up, all dressed up
-Don't you see, don't you see
Emphasizing the existence of countless possibilities and the necessity for a specific kind of love.
The infinite possibilities
-Don't you need, don't you need
-The kind of love that I need
-Don't you see me, don't you see me
-I'm all dressed up
Reiterating the preparedness to conform to the expectations set by the other person, despite feeling internally conflicted.
To be what you want me to be
-I'm all dressed up
-To be what you taught me to be
-I'm all dressed up
-All messed up, all messed up
-You don't even notice me
Expressing a sense of being unnoticed and unimportant in the eyes of the other person, despite efforts to influence or soothe.
Moving you like a ton of glaciers
-You don't even notice me
-Soothing you like a long lost sister
-You don't even care
-No you don't even care
-All dressed up
Feeling ready for a relationship or commitment but lacking the appropriate destination.
With no place to go
-But home, but home
-I'm all dressed up
Continuing the theme of readiness to conform to the expectations of the other person, even though there is internal turmoil.
To be what you want me to be
-I'm all dressed up
-To be what you want me to be
-I'm all dressed up
-All dressed up, all dressed up
-You don't even comfort me
Expressing a sense of neglect and the other person's commitment to their beliefs and illusions.
And carry on with the will of samson
-You don't even comfort me
-You keep your faith and you keep your phantoms
-And you don't even care
-No you don't even care
-All dressed up still there's something wrong
Despite being all dressed up, there is a lingering feeling that something is wrong, and the relationship might be ephemeral.
I'm all dressed up and you're just a song
-I'm all dressed up you're forever gone everlong
-You don't even care
Repetition of the sentiment that the other person doesn't care, emphasizing a sense of emotional distance and indifference.
No you don't even care
-You don't even care
-No you don't even care
-You don't even care
-No you don't even care
-You don't even care
-No you don't even care
-You don't even care
-No you don't even care
-You don't even care
