Paint Me In
Discovering Self-Reflection: Unveiling the Depths of 'Paint Me In' by Willie Pearl
Lyrics
I just found out today
I recently discovered this information
In her chambers where she lay
In her private quarters where she rests
The paintings that she hangs are all self-portraits
The artworks she displays are all representations of herself
Happy Saturday
Expressing contentment on a Saturday
That’s an easy thing to say
Describing Saturday as an uncomplicated day to be joyful
When every thought inside your brain is worth a fortune
When every thought in her mind is valuable
Play pretend
Engaging in make-believe or pretending
There was a time when I could get over it
There was a time when I could move past it
That was when
That time was when
I was happy being alone again
I found contentment in solitude
I can’t believe this mess
Expressing disbelief or shock about the situation
I think she calmly said
She calmly communicated
Through her hushed and heavy breaths, “you should be leaving”
Amidst quiet and labored breaths, she suggested, "you should be leaving"
But I was too impressed
I was too fascinated or captivated
By the glimpse inside her head
Fascinated by the insight into her mind
And with my ear against her breast I heard the beating
With my ear against her chest, I heard her heartbeat
Play pretend
Engaging in make-believe or pretending
There was a time when I could get over it
There was a time when I could move past it
That was when
That time was when
I was happy being alone again
I found contentment in solitude
So paint me in
Include me in the picture
Put me in the space I’m supposed to fit
Place me in the role I'm supposed to play
Blame me then
Hold me responsible then
If that’s what it takes to get over it
If that's what it takes to move past it
I’m not happy being alone again
I'm not content with being alone again
I’m not happy being alone again
