Puppet On A String
Vanity Fare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of the fair
when in doubt there is never a doubt
will you always be there?
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow will you be gone?
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
The song "Puppet On A String" by Vanity Fare is a classic example of a love song with playful lyrics. The song talks about the feeling of being controlled by someone you love, like a puppet on a string. The singer wonders if one day their love interest will say that they care for them, and if they do, the singer will happily be there for them. The analogy used in the song compares love to a merry-go-round, where there are ups and downs, and uncertain moments. The singer questions if their love interest is leading them on, or if they'll be gone tomorrow, which shows the insecurity of love.
The lyrics of "Puppet On A String" reflects the innocence of a relationship at its early stage, where one party is not sure if the other party is genuinely interested in them or not. The singer is unsure of their partner's intentions, whether they are playing with their feelings or not. The phrase "puppet on a string" is a metaphor for the singer's lack of freedom when it comes to love. They feel controlled by their emotions and the uncertainty of their partner's feelings. The lyrics of the song speak to people who have experienced the mixed feelings of starting a relationship and not knowing if their love interest feels the same way.
