Vanity
Pearson Dunn Strings Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lovers are in pain
They blame and pick on each other
You play melodies of love
Forgotten phrases
Tender and sweet
Come a little bit closer
(La la la la la la la)
The melody's fading.....
Now or never, love will go
I'll be there by your side
Share your fears in the silent redemption
Touch my lips, hold me tight
Live in vanity for a while
As winter melts in the sun
Boys will be out running and reaching for the light
Oh mother please find me in that place
Before the memories tear us into pieces
Clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(La la la la la la la)
In endless motion
Never coming back, love will go
You'll be there by my side
You may never know my devotion
Feel my breath in the quiet night
Live in vanity for ever
Won't you feel my gentle emotion
Let us live in peace with conviction
If you're here please hold me
The song "Vanity" by Pearson Dunn Strings Orchestra begins with an introduction to a scene of love where the two lovers are in pain and arguing with each other. The music, played out in a melodious tune, seems to be trying to convey a message of reassurance and comfort, even as the lovers are at each other's throats. The lyrics allude to the lovers clinging to each other, even as they go through their ordeal, hoping to find solace in each other's arms. The pace of the tune picks up as the song progresses and leads to a crescendo, where the singer implores the lover to come closer and not hide in the shadows. The music, however, slowly fades away, indicating that it might be too late to salvage the situation.
In the second part of the song, the singer seems to be speaking to the lover directly, telling him that she will be by his side, and the both of them can share their fears openly. She promises to be there for him, and though it may seem like vanity, they can be together for a while. The next few lines are more reminiscent and nostalgic, with a reference to the winter melting away and boys running towards the light. The singer pleads with her mother to find her in that place before the memories tear them apart. The song ends on a note of hope, with the singer urging the lover to feel her gentle emotion and live in peace with conviction.
