Sweet Misery Blues
Sweet Misery Blues: A Seductive Dance with Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
Yeah, I saw you coming down the street.
Observation of the person approaching.
I could tell by your look that you didn't want to meet.
Perception that the person is not interested in interaction.
So this time, I went away, but next time,
Decision to withdraw this time but with a hint of persistence.
I'm just gonna have to say,
Expressing the intention to speak up in the future.
can I buy you a dress or something?
Suggesting a playful offer to buy something for the person.
Could I buy you some drewery or something?
Continuation of the playful offer, possibly to break the ice.
Would you go out with me or something?
Further expressions of interest, progressing in intensity.
Would you sleep with me or something?"
Direct and bold proposal, pushing boundaries.
Better watch out, if you're train is moving to fast.
Cautionary advice about the speed of a relationship.
You better look out, if you're living in the past
Warning against dwelling on past experiences.
because that's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues.
Linking the cautionary advice to the theme of enduring blues.
That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues.
Reiteration of the lasting impact of mistakes or regrets.
Yeah, I'm gonna corner you in an elevator
Describing a scenario of trying to connect in close quarters.
and then you won't be able to put me off till later.
Anticipation of delaying tactics by the other person.
I'll put on my charm and I'll tingle your spine.
Confidence in using charm to engage the person.
I'll take off my charm and then you'll want to die.
Anticipating a change in perception after revealing vulnerability.
Could I buy you a dress or something?
Recalling the playful offer to buy something, maintaining humor.
Could I buy you some drewery or something?
Continuation of the playful offer, suggesting persistence.
Would you go out with me or something?
Repeating expressions of interest, seeking a positive response.
Would you sleep with me or something?"
Reiteration of a bold proposal, pushing boundaries further.
You better watch out, cause you can't get rid of me.
Warning of inability to be ignored or forgotten.
You better look out, now babe don't you see?
Emphasizing the inevitability of the connection.
That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues. (2 times)
Restating the theme of enduring misery blues.
