Silly Things
Wild Child Lyrics

Silly things, like diamond rings
Material possessions such as jewels do not hold as much importance as other aspects of life

Fall between, other things like you and I
Personal relationships and connections between people are more important than material possessions

We used to have a coffee pot, we used it a lot
The coffee pot was a symbol of the simple pleasures of life, like sitting and talking with loved ones

To sit around and talk about everything
Sharing thoughts and experiences with loved ones is a valuable experience

We'll always want but we'll never get
People will always have desires that they cannot fulfill

But a dreamer's still a dreamer til you wake them up
As long as one maintains hope and imagination, they remain a dreamer, even in the face of disappointment

and sit them down and explain to them
Occasionally, it is necessary to confront reality and have it explained to you

The sky is up and the earth is down
Basic truths, like the relationship between sky and earth, should be accepted and embraced

Amongst other things, like human beings
Similarly, people should be accepted for who they are, despite their flaws and contradictions

They really aren't what they seem
Appearances can be deceiving, and people may not always be what they portray themselves to be

They will lie cheat and steal to get ahead of you
Sadly, some individuals will resort to dishonest or unethical methods to achieve their goals

I'm afraid it's true
This is a difficult reality to confront

When the world comes crashing down what are they to do
When dishonest individuals face hardship, they may be unprepared to cope with it

And I'm not blaming you, for being naive
The singer does not blame their former partner for lacking the foresight to anticipate the deceit of others

But now just close your eyes and start dreaming, dreaming
Despite the harsh truths of the world, there is still room for hope and imagination

About candlelight, forget about stupid fights
The artist urges their former partner to focus on the joyful moments of their time together, instead of arguments or disagreements

And it's funny to me
The artist finds it ironic or strange

I can't remember a single thing we fought about
In retrospect, the disagreements between the singer and their former partner seem trivial

Now that I'm alone
The singer is reflecting on the past after the end of the relationship

Well I guess that's how it goes
The artist is accepting the reality of the situation, even if it is painful

But I do remember every time you kissed my neck
Despite the sadness of the situation, the artist has fond memories of specific moments in the relationship

oh I loved that the best
This memory is particularly cherished by the artist

Won't be getting none of those
The singer is lamenting the loss of intimacy they shared with their former partner

Now that you're an LA queen and away from me
The artist feels that their former partner has become absorbed in a superficial, materialistic culture

But darling, remember please
Despite the differences that have emerged between the singer and their former partner, the singer still has concern for them

Darling, come get your coffee pot
The coffee pot, which represents the shared experiences of the relationship, is still awaiting their former partner

Cause it hasn't been used, since I last used you
The singer has not been able to use the coffee pot since the end of the relationship, but has not moved on from it emotionally
