Imagination
Belouis Some Lyrics

She lit a cigarette, both hands behind her back
She was trying to hide her vulnerability and demonstrate her confidence and independence.

Thought she was hungry, lack of choice saw to that
She was trying to find satisfaction in her life but felt restricted in her options.

Only you can try to see what I'm really like
She felt misunderstood and believed that only someone special could truly understand her.

She said, only you can understand the way I feel tonight
She was expressing her loneliness and vulnerability and hoping for someone to connect with.

She blamed excesses on the 'merican dream
She believed that American culture promoted materialism and superficial values.

So seldom witnessed, never seen
She felt like she was alone in her disillusionment with American culture.

Imagination, could make a man of you
She believed that imagination could help someone become their best self.

Imagination, could make me love you too
She believed that imagination could create love and romantic connection.

Imagination, is all I want from you
She was yearning for someone with a vivid imagination, as that was the most important quality to her.

She lost her virtue before she could write
She had experienced loss and difficulty from a very young age.

I lost mine too, on my very first night with you
He had a shared experience of feeling vulnerable and exposed early on in their relationship.

You'll have to guide me, these impossible schemes
She was admitting her need for help to navigate the challenges and uncertainty that came with their relationship.

You make me steal unstealable things
She was acknowledging that he had a profound effect on her, prompting her to go beyond her comfort zone and even break some of her own rules.

Imagination
The repetition emphasizes the importance of imagination throughout the song.
