Polyester Embassy Lyrics

The opening lines of Polyester Embassy's song "Later On" suggest a sense of wonderment, "I see star cloning and my mind blowing." It seems as though the singer is experiencing something otherworldly, something perhaps beyond our understanding. The act of biting one's tongue suggests reluctance to speak up, to express oneself fully. The idea of "never talk too much" is repeated throughout the song, indicating that the singer may be holding back their thoughts or feelings to some extent. There is a sense of familiarity in the repetition of "been here before million open doors," yet the constant flux of faces coming and going suggests a lack of permanence.

The chorus appears to be addressed to someone close to the singer, someone with whom they are pretending to not be together. The line "you never know that I make it all" suggests that the singer is putting in a lot of effort behind the scenes to make things work, yet they are not getting recognition for it. The idea of doing something "just for you" reinforces the idea that the singer cares deeply about this person and is willing to put in the effort to maintain the relationship. The mention of the moon and the singer's mind crawling may suggest a feeling of mental exhaustion or anxiety, perhaps related to the relationship they are in.

As the song progresses, the repetition of "why why you pretend" may indicate frustration on the part of the singer. They seem to have reached a breaking point, having "heard enough of your favorite song" and "heard, learned, and prepared to sing it just for you." The idea of doing something good "later on" suggests that the singer is willing to let go of their frustrations and move forward positively. The final lines of the song, "the greatest things you'll ever learn is to love and to be loved" reinforces the idea that relationships are not always easy, but the effort put into them is worth it in the end.
