What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When footlights dim in reverence, to prescient passion
2
Forewarned my audience leaves the stage
3
Floating ahead, perfumed shift, within the stammering silence
4
The face that launched a thousand frames
5
Betrayed by a porcelain tear, a stained career
6
You played this scene before
7
You played this scene before
8
I the mote in your eye, eye, eye, eye
9
I the mote in your eye
10
A misplaced reaction, reaction
11
The darkroom unleashes imagination
12
In pornographic images, in which you will always be the star
13
Untouchable, unapproachable, constant in a darkness, in a darkness
14
Nursing an erection, a misplaced reaction
15
With no flower to place, before this gravestone
16
And the walls become enticingly newspaper thin
17
But that would only be developing the negative view
18
And you have to be exposed in voyeuristic color, the public act
19
Let you model your shame on the mannequin catwalk, catwalk
20
Let the cats walk, and the cat walks
21
I've played this scene before
22
I've played this scene before
23
I the mote in your eye, eye, eye, eye
24
I the mote in your eye
25
A misplaced reaction, satisfaction
26
You can't brush me under the carpet
27
You can't hide me under the stairs
28
The custodian of your private fears
29
You're leading actor of yesteryear
30
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity
31
Sentenced to rejection in the morass of anonymity
32
You, who I directed with the lovers will
33
You, who I let hypnotize the lens
34
You, who I let bathe in the spotlights glare
35
You, who wiped me from your memory
36
Like a greasepaint mask
37
Just like a greasepaint mask, a mask
38
But now, I'm the snake in the grass
39
The ghost of film reels past
40
I'm the producer of your nightmare
41
And the performance has just begun
42
It's just begun, begun, it's just begun
43
Your perimeter of courtiers jerk like celluloid puppets
44
As you stutter paralyzed with rabbits eyes
45
Searing the shadows, flooding the wings
46
To pluck elusive salvation from the understudy's lips
47
Retrieve the soliloquy, maintain the obituary
48
My cue line in the last act
49
And you wait in silent solitude, waiting for the prompt
50
Waiting for the prompt
51
Waiting for the prompt
52
Waiting for the prompt
53
Waiting for the prompt
54
Waiting for the prompt
55
You've played this scene before
