This Car Can Dance
Chasing Shadows of Love: Weekend Hours Unveils the Dance of Deception
Lyrics
The tables they turn to the other end
The situation has reversed or changed significantly.
But she doesn’t know that it’s something I said
Someone is unaware that their words have caused an impact.
Oh I found that love means less when you’re around
Love loses its significance when this person is present.
Quietly packing her favorite dress
Quietly preparing to leave, possibly to escape attention.
She knows she’ll be hiding her soul from the press
Awareness of the need to keep personal feelings private from the public.
Oh I forgot you always bring me down
Feeling brought down by someone, possibly the person mentioned.
But she’s alone
The person is currently without company.
She’s too cool to be back home
Independent and too cool to return home.
So she said you must be dumb
Expressing that the other person is perceived as unintelligent.
But she don’t know that much
Highlighting the lack of knowledge the other person possesses.
So she said I don’t wanna make it
Expressing reluctance to commit or be genuine.
Just until I fake it whoa
Not wanting to make things real, only pretending.
She’s been driving so aimlessly
Driving without a clear purpose or direction.
She knows that a new life still won’t set her free
A new life is not bringing the expected freedom.
Oh I knew you weren’t exactly what you said
Realizing that the person is not what they claimed to be.
Patiently putting on airs to be
Pretending to be someone they are not.
The greatest pretender that you’ll never see
The greatest pretender, hidden from view.
Oh I keep running back to you instead
Despite knowing the truth, continually returning to the person.
She’s not alone
Contrary to earlier, the person is not truly alone.
She’s just better on her own
Preferable to be independent rather than with others.
So she said you must be dumb
Reiterating the perception of the other person's lack of intelligence.
But she don’t know that much
Repeating the theme of the other person's limited knowledge.
So she said I don’t wanna make it
Reluctance to make things genuine, preferring pretense.
Just until I fake it whoa
Continuing the theme of avoiding authenticity.
So she said you must be dumb
Reiterating the perception of the other person's lack of intelligence.
But she don’t know that much
Repeating the theme of the other person's limited knowledge.
So she said I don’t wanna make it
Reluctance to make things genuine, preferring pretense.
Just until I fake it whoa
Continuing the theme of avoiding authenticity.
Taken back, I take a breath
Taking a moment to reflect or recover from a situation.
Silver shadows laid to rest
Symbolic references to tranquility and closure.
Around me
Surrounded by a sense of calmness.
Broken glass and grains of sand
Symbolic elements representing a broken relationship or situation.
Paint a sunset around your head
Imagery of a beautiful scene, perhaps without the person.
Without me
Emphasizing the absence of the person in the scene.
So she said you must be dumb
Repeating the theme of the other person's perceived lack of intelligence.
But she don’t know that much
Reiterating the theme of the other person's limited knowledge.
So she said I don’t wanna make it
Reluctance to make things genuine, preferring pretense.
Just until I fake it whoa
Continuing the theme of avoiding authenticity.
So she said you’re not the one
Rejecting the idea that the other person is the right one.
But she won’t give it up
The person is unwilling to give up the pretense.
So she said oh I don’t wanna make it
Repeating the reluctance to make things real, preferring pretense.
Just until I fake it whoa
Continuing the theme of avoiding authenticity.
