Paradoxical Sarabanda
Pin-Up Went Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad bad boy
You're the shitty liar
You're the
Bad bad girl
You're the nasty one
But the bad bad ones have
No great great wall to hide behind to silence
Deedadeedadee Oh ! You make your worst show
But you're so foreseeable as the melt of the snow
Dadeedaeeda Ouh ! Ouh ! You'll have to pay your due...
But in this Sarabanda
What you've lost is... YOU.
Hey... Estravanganza lied and betrayed
E Caccia Caccia Time without a prey
E la maschera that falls
And no answer... non c'e
Show us again what you were and not what you are...
Every time I hear you saying you're right
And I know what you are is not what you say at all.
Here I shall fall.
The lyrics of Pin-Up Went Down's song Paradoxical Sarabanda are a commentary on the deceptive nature of people and how their true selves eventually come to light. The song starts with the singer addressing the bad boys and girls, who are notorious for being liars and doing nasty things. There is no wall great enough to hide behind, and the floor knows how to speak, meaning that their true nature will eventually be exposed. The singer then launches into a catchy chorus, which underscores the inevitability of their downfall.
The second verse talks about how people often put on a façade and pretend to be something they are not. The use of Italian words like Estravanganza (extravagance) and Caccia Caccia (hunt, hunt) adds to the dramatic effect of the song. The maschera (mask) falls, and there is no answer, meaning there is no way of knowing what is truly going on beneath the surface. The singer implores the bad boys and girls to show their true selves and be honest about who they are, rather than pretending to be something they are not.
Overall, Paradoxical Sarabanda is a poignant commentary on the human condition and our tendency to deceive each other.
