Emotions
And More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you wash it off and pretend that it was never there.
Your face in the mirror doesn't give a reflection.
So you paint one on, it's the art of imitation.
It tickles you to death, knowing you can play the game so well.
But you can't ignore, don't know who you are, so what.
Your sugar coated, guns are loaded,
So you keep lying, never trying,
Say your somebody else
The bitterness inside your heart,
It shows through in your eyes,
And you can't win in the end.
You take your big guns, loading them with your fatal charm.
The fact is, you love me, nothing can kill me now.
I've learned the power of deceit, the power of the sweet, is so true.
Now I'm a confection to taste good is all I must do.
Your sugar coated, guns are loaded,
Afraid of tasting yourself.
So you keep lying, never trying,
Say your somebody else
Its too easy to get to where you,
Take it, dig it, every day
And you can't win in the end.
The bitterness inside your heart,
It shows through in your eyes,
And you can't win in the end.
The lyrics to "Emotions" by And More explore the concepts of self-deception, façade, and the fear of vulnerability. The song begins with the metaphor of wearing your heart on your sleeve, which has become physically stained. This implies that the singer has been hurt in the past by revealing their true emotions to someone and as a result, they have begun to conceal themselves, creating a façade. This façade is illustrated by the metaphor of painting on a reflection rather than facing their true identity.
The chorus of the song addresses the idea that the singer is loaded with weapons, which are coated in sugar to make them appear less harmful, and they are afraid to use these weapons on themselves. This speaks to the fear of facing one's true identity and the consequences of doing so. The repetition of the line "say you're somebody else" highlights the idea that the singer is living a lie and is not true to themselves.
The song concludes with the singer explaining that they have learned the power of deceit and that in order to survive, they must be a "confection to taste good". However, the bitterness inside them is still evident and they continue to carry their loaded guns, afraid to taste themselves. The overall message of the song is that while it may be tempting to live in a world of denial, in the end, the bitter truth will always be present.

i feel that instead of "[00:25:00] - 06. What's Love Got to Do with It - Tina Turner" there is different version of that song. Can you please point me to version you used?
