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