Shy Nobleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While you are sitting on a room waving goodbye
I am sitting in my room, you are siting in a tree
What a disappointment, it's just you and me
You are a dabbing Vaseline on my dry-dry lips
I prefer the lipstick Co's it makes me look so chic
You are a dabbing Vaseline I prefer the Ventolin
What: "I love you, Love you" means?
Why don't you come with me?
Why don't you come with me?
Why don't you want me?
If you'l fail to see
That i'm in ecstasy
And there is just one thing on my mind
You are making noises
With my best friend in my house
I am standing jealous
Drinking whiskey from a glass
My pain is getting stronger
It's so beautiful outside
I don't know if you've realized
What you're doing in my house?
At the time when I was sure that we'd broken up
Got your funny letter,my oh my, we are getting back!
I am sitting in a tree, you are sitting next to me
Holding hands together and waiting for the kids.
The lyrics of Sad Song Happy Song by Shy Nobleman explore the complexities of the relationships between two people who seem to be caught in a cycle of confusion and disappointment. The first stanza highlights the distance between the two individuals, with one waiting for a surprise and the other waving goodbye. The second stanza continues with a metaphorical interpretation of intimacy, as the singer comments on the difference between dabbing Vaseline (a symbol of care and nurturing) and wearing lipstick (a symbol of fashion and glamour). This contrast shows the tension between the physical and emotional aspects of relationships, with one person longing for affection while the other struggles to communicate love.
The chorus presents a plea for understanding and acceptance, as the singer asks the other person to come with them and acknowledges their feelings of ecstasy. However, the third stanza introduces a new layer of complexity with the revelation that the other person has been making noises with the singer's best friend in their house. The final stanza brings closure to the song by suggesting that despite all the ups and downs, the two individuals are still together, holding hands and waiting for the future.
