"Ran to New York but ran away from fame" She ran away to escape from the traumatic events of her early life. She ran away from fame because she faced obstacles and personal struggles that made it difficult for her to fully embrace or capitalize on her celebrity status. "But all you wanted was someone to undress you" Louise Brooks wanted a relationship that was healthy, trauma-free, and free from the painful memories of her past. "And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain" Despite achieving fame and success, the emotional pain from her past continued to haunt her. "Still the grace remains and though the face has changed. You're still the same" Despite the ups and downs in her life, she remained true to herself and maintained a sense of dignity and inner strength. "Frame of silence of an innocent divine. Is a dangerous creation when you fall the test of time" She used coping mechanisms to shield herself from the past, such as maintaining an image of innocence. This became difficult over time to maintain as she faced the trials and tribulations that life and fame presented. It's not that coping mechanisms are always bad, but when they hinder personal growth or become an obstacle to living a fulfilling life, they can be described as "dangerous" in that sense. "And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago. Still they hurt you so, won't let go And you still don't know" The lyrics continue to talk about her struggle with the lasting impact of her traumatic past. They are like unwelcome "ghosts" that persistently intrude on her thoughts and feelings, making it difficult for her to find peace. "When you look around yourself now, do you recognize the girl" The lyrics want her to engage in self-reflection and introspection. Recognize the significant influence she had during her career. It's an acknowledgement of her impact on the world and her status as a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, despite the complexities and challenges she faced. She was known for her beauty, talent, and unique style "Broke a Thousand Hearts" indicates the impact she had on her fans, and "terrified the world" underscores the profound effect she had on the world of film and entertainment. "And it's a long long way from where you want to be. And it's a long long road, but you're too blind to see" This Is repeated throughout the song, it underscores the theme of longing and the struggle to reach a desired destination. Louise Brooks had a goal of where she wanted to be in her life or career, but the journey to get there was challenging. "But you're too blind to see" At times, she might have been unaware of the full extent of these challenges or unable to see a clear path forward. It could also mean a sense of being in a state of confusion or uncertainty about how to reach her desired destination. |

However, the narrator finds solace in their friendships and memories, describing a time of carefree youth and shared experiences. The mention of stories from the past being about a "perfume garden" suggests a longing for a simpler, more idyllic time. The song then takes a darker turn, with mentions of societal pressure and the need to conform. The lines "all across the town and across the street, you could feel the heat" give a tense and oppressive atmosphere, and the references to "mark your sheet" and "maximum joy" imply some sort of test or evaluation that must be passed. "These children have nothing at all, listening hard for the voice of the child" gives a sense of innocence and vulnerability being lost in the face of societal expectations. The final lines are about an awakening or realization, with the narrator hearing an "alarm bell ringing" and being "pulled from [their] sleep" and "the distant sound of a lady singing." This is probably a metaphor for a new awareness or understanding, a call to action, or a reminder of something important that had been forgotten or ignored. |

It's about a sense of innocence and wonder, as well as the dichotomy between pleasure and pain. The first stanza paints a peaceful scene of an innocent world that is waiting to be explored. The narrator offers to take the listener there and be there for them, catching them when they fall and smiling as they climb. The second stanza acknowledges the harshness of the world, comparing it to a baking Sahara day and ancient hills crumbling into clay. The repeated refrain of "pleasure and pain, no loss no gain" highlights the duality of life, with its joys and sorrows, and the idea that one cannot exist without the other. The lyrics also touch on the idea of control, with the narrator acknowledging that they can't control their outward feelings and that the colored lights are leading them. This suggests a sense of surrender to the unknown, which may be both thrilling and frightening. |
