Chapin Harry
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She was crazy (she was beautiful),
2
I guess she had to be.
3
I was angry (you were blind),
4
Because i could not see.
5
I saw only what her cigarettes had done to her skin.
6
I should have known the outside world
7
Would reveal what was within.
8
She was burning herself,
9
And her hair was filled with ashes.
10
She was burning herself,
11
And her life becomes a flame.
12
She was burning herself,
13
And the flame became her passion.
14
She was burning herself,
15
And her passion,
16
Her passion was her pain.
17
She was trusting (you could have saved her too),
18
All hope had passed for her.
19
I was lusting (and she gave to you),
20
That's all i asked for her.
21
The marks upon her body
22
And the marks upon her mind.
23
I could have erased them
24
If i'd only taken the time.
25
I never saw her do it,
26
I only saw the scars.
27
I never could imagine
28
What would make her go that far.
29
I wondered,
30
Was she driven by desperate need to feel,
31
To find out she was living,
32
To discover life was real.
33
Or was it that the pain
34
Slicing through her like a knife
35
Was easier to take
36
Than the emptiness of life?
37
Had a strange sense of drama
38
Caught her in a role,
39
Or was she trying to cauterize
40
The chancres on her sole?
41
I don't know
42
I don't know
43
I don't know...
