The Women's Revue
Sodastream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's getting dim
I guess it's all I had to show
Are you cold again
Or full of song
I guess it's all I'd ever known
I had tried to grow
To find my place
And call to settle in
I would settle in
Though my mansions may be cold
I would settle in
The hostile glow
Do you need guidance in the walls
Can't dye or soil my hands
Can I save myself from this
And I never knew what god meant
No I never knew it's sense
I tried a loaded gun beside by bed tonight
I tried looking up the dresses that were giving off the light
So I might find my way home
Find my way home
My daylight, my only daylight
I had a line of small women by my left side
Through daisy chains I'd seen them all
Through countless waves I saw you fall
My daylight, my only daylight
I had four friendly horses by my west side
Through an empty haze I saw you born
And through countless days I saw you mourn
The song "The Women's Revue" by Sodastream is a beautiful and haunting track that displays the deep emotions and pain of separation that people go through. The opening lyrics, "Saw your picture frame, it's getting dim, I guess it's all I had to show," talks about how the memories of someone special are beginning to fade away, and the only thing we have left is a picture that keeps getting dimmer with time. It's a poignant reminder that time can dull the sharpest memories. The next line, "Are you cold again or full of song, I guess it's all I'd ever known," shows that the person is still trying to understand their ex-partner's state of mind – are they feeling cold and distant or are they living their life to the fullest and singing every day? The singer is still trying to find their place and determine how they fit into their ex-partner's new life.
Then the singer decides to go back to their ex-partner, settle down, and make it work, even if the mansions may be cold and the glow may be hostile. The lyrics "Do you need guidance in the walls, can't dye or soil my hands, can I save myself from this, and I never knew what God meant, no, I never knew its sense" express how the person is willing to help their partner no matter what, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. They are even willing to tackle any obstacle, including the hostile glow of their ex-partner's new life. The song ends on an emotional note, with the singer feeling lost and trying to find their way back home.
Overall, "The Women's Revue" is a beautiful and sad song that expresses emotions of separation and longing. The lyrics give a poignant reminder of how people can be consumed by their emotions and try to make things work, even when it may not be the right thing to do.

Saw your picture frame
I saw a photo of you
It's getting dim
It's fading, losing its clarity
I guess it's all I had to show
The photo was all I had to remember you by
Are you cold again
Are you feeling alone and isolated again
Or full of song
Or are you feeling happy and content
I guess it's all I'd ever known
I only knew you in these two opposing emotional states
If I decide to come
If I choose to come back
I had tried to grow
I had attempted to mature and develop
To find my place
To find where I belong
And call to settle in
And make it my new home
I would settle in
I would make it my permanent residence
Though my mansions may be cold
Even if I have many grandiose homes, they won't provide me with warmth
I would settle in
I would still choose to stay there
The hostile glow
The unwelcoming environment
Do you need guidance in the walls
Do you need help navigating through the walls of your life
Can't dye or soil my hands
I can't let my hands become stained or dirty
Can I save myself from this
Can I rescue myself from my current situation
And I never knew what god meant
I never fully understood the concept of God
No I never knew it's sense
I never comprehended its meaning
I tried a loaded gun beside by bed tonight
I attempted to end my life tonight
I tried looking up the dresses that were giving off the light
I watched pornography to distract myself
So I might find my way home
So I could find my way back to a place of comfort
My daylight, my only daylight
You are my sunshine, my only source of light
I had a line of small women by my left side
There were many women in my life
Through daisy chains I'd seen them all
I saw all of them wearing flower crowns
Through countless waves I saw you fall
Through various obstacles, I saw you struggle and fail
My daylight, my only daylight
You are my sunshine, my only source of light
I had four friendly horses by my west side
I had four loyal companions who stood by my side
Through an empty haze I saw you born
Through a foggy and unclear period, I saw you come into existence
And through countless days I saw you mourn
And through numerous days, I saw you grieve and be in sorrow
