What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's like a makeover when the filming's over
2
And she doesn't know
3
How to fix it so that it'll stay
4
And she can't figure out
5
How to tease out her hair that way herself
6
And when she wakes up all the make-up
7
Has rubbed away
8
And she doesn't know how to find her face
9
It was only for one single day
10
That you looked so beautiful, baby
11
Now your cheeks have gone pale
12
And your roots dark gray
13
And though they nod as they notice you're nice
14
Baby, nobody's noticing twice
15
Dim the lights as your memory of paradise fades
16
I'm like an architect who cashed his check
17
But he doesn't let on
18
That it's the last one he'll get
19
Though he knows the funds have run dry
20
He wants to have fun for one final night
21
Staring out at a skyline that he'll never change
22
They're saying, "Though we like all things that you've made
23
Notice no one remembers your name
24
As you float through time
25
Feel your powers decline day by day
26
You're like a convert who goes back to work
27
When he can't retrieve how the clarity actually felt
28
When his co-workers ask him the words won't come out
29
And in three weeks his new leaf has blown away
30
And it feels just like an average day
31
Facing walls talking into the phone
32
Sitting dumbly in church all alone Picking back up the magazines he'd thrown away
33
Well, convert, what your god whispered into youl ear
34
You forgot once that god disappeared
35
And that life-changing day
36
Well, you just felt it fade
37
But, of course you know, it's got to fade
38
You know it's got to fade
39
Oh you know, it's got to fade"
40
And, falling down on the couch, he says
41
"It's perfectly that way"
