Arabesque
Pronto Mama Lyrics

Last night brought by new tides
A new situation arose that has shaken things up and changed the course of events.

Back to front and side to side
Things are in disarray, with confusion and uncertainty in every direction.

Speaking feels uneasy
Communication is difficult and uncomfortable, possibly due to tension or disagreement.

We're not seeing eye to eye
There is a fundamental disagreement or difference in opinion that is creating conflict.

You act so cold
The other person is distant, unfeeling, and difficult to connect with emotionally.

And I feel less bold
The singer feels hesitant, unsure, and lacks their usual level of confidence or conviction.

I cannae wait for a rainy day
The singer looks forward to a day when the other person will be able to experience the same sadness and pain that they are currently feeling.

So you can feel this blue
The artist wishes for the other person to feel the same level of sadness and melancholy that they are experiencing.

I didn't really want to leave you
The artist didn't want to end the relationship but felt like they had no other choice due to the circumstances.

This time I was half right
The artist made a mistake or only partially understood the situation.

I'll just act like I never knew you
The singer is trying to move on from the relationship and pretend that it never existed.

Last night acting uptight
The other person was tense, anxious, and not acting like themselves.

Well, I was me then and you were you
The singer and the other person were both being true to themselves, but that caused a clash in their relationship.

Keep me in the picture
The singer wants to remain informed and involved in the situation or relationship.

Hide your scissors and find the glue
The other person should stop trying to cut things apart and instead try to mend and rebuild what is broken.

A weeping ballerina
A metaphor for someone who is struggling to perform, perhaps due to emotional or physical difficulties.

Starved herself just to fill her shoes
Someone who went to great lengths to fit into a role or position, even if it meant self-sacrifice and hardship.

A traveling fortuneteller brought news
An outside perspective or source of information entered the situation, potentially providing clarity or insight.

I always feel a little weak
The singer lacks self-assurance and feels vulnerable or unsure of themselves.

And you never lose
The other person always seems to be in control and victorious, while the artist struggles to keep up.

You're so intelligent, I feel irrelevant
The other person's intelligence and competence make the artist feel insignificant and small by comparison.
