Soft Picasso
Modern Love Unraveled: A Soft Picasso Tale
Lyrics
It was a modern love affair
Describing a contemporary romantic relationship
Completely cool and casual
Characterizing the relationship as calm and laid-back
They hardly knew each other was there
Emphasizing the lack of awareness between the partners
I mean Both of them had their own getting off to do
Both individuals pursuing their own pleasures
And they had to dream about their own self
Individual dreams and aspirations
When they were through
Post-individual pursuits
But the modern girl was elated
The woman is happy with the benefits of the revolution
With what the revolution gave her
Expressing the woman's liberation
And since she was liberated she could have
Freedom to pursue anything she desires
Everything that striked her fancy
Her varied interests and desires
And she fancied quite a bit
Her diverse preferences
I mean if it felt good she did it
Pursuing actions that feel good without inhibition
And she did it every chance she could get
Frequent indulgence in pleasurable activities
With her main modern man and otherwise
Involvement with her main partner and others
And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys
Her attraction extends beyond modern men
Since another modern girl showed her
Introduction of another liberated woman
That modern girls know how to hold her
Modern girls supporting each other
And after she had her eyes opened
Her perspective broadens after exposure
All her old close friends started getting closer
Increased closeness with existing friends
And new friends weren't that far away
Formation of new friendships
But the modern man he just wasn't so lucky
The man faces challenges and misfortune
He being shook from his usual role as the heartbreaker
The man's traditional role as a heartbreaker disrupted
He was completely battered and bewildered
The man feels emotionally battered and confused
When he actually started in feeling something for her
The man starts developing feelings for the woman
And he discovered a new emotion
Discovery of a new emotion by the man
When they stopped ending up together as frequently
Reduced frequency of their encounters
And when he finally confronted her with the question
The man confronts the woman about her actions
"had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him?"
Questioning if she had other relationships
And she replied "Hell yes! ain't it funny!"
Her casual admission to engaging with others
So view the modern man looking, looking, looking,like a soft Picasso
Depicting the man's demeanor akin to a soft Picasso painting
He's there with his head in his hand
Visualizing the man with his head in his hand, reflective
Repeating to himself an epigram
Repeating a self-reflective phrase about living and deceiving
"live by the scam, die by the scam."
A cynical conclusion about the consequences of deceit
