The Real Snow White

[Intro] You’ve got what I want [Verse 1] You’ve got what I want Oh yeah! It’s only for the night And I will give it back tomorrow I swear She can barely breathe Don’t stare I know the dress is tight But it was all I had to wear Give me what I need Please share You know it’s only right And I would never lie to you I wouldn’t dare [Chorus] I made a promise to myself I wouldn’t start with anyone else but You know how it is with these promises Made in the heat of the moment [Bridge] They’re made to be broken in two Sometimes the only thing to do [Verse 2] Oh no! It’s all coming back How I came to in a sticky three-day hole Didn’t see the sign Go slow Too busy tuning static on the radio She hissed it in a song Don’t go It always fades to black But that’s why I love the trip It’s so inevitable [Chorus] I made a promise to myself I wouldn’t start with anyone else but You know how it is with these promises Made in the heat of the moment [Bridge] They’re made to be less than they seem Whenever you’ve got what I need [Verse 3] And you’ve got what I need Aaaiiieee! For service with a smile I have to walk in on my hands And roll for free You say it’s all the same Ennui You’re not the real snow white The real snow white is on my knee I didn’t need to get ID It’s simply minimum height And getting all dressed up In seven ways to please [Chorus] I made a promise to myself I wouldn’t start with anyone else but You know how it is with these promises Made in the heat of the moment [Bridge] They’re made to be broken one day If there’s no time to get away [Verse 4] Uh-oh! She wasn’t made to shine She was really only ever made to glow I left her in the dark No show Quiet sucking on a line It was a tricky gun to load And I didn’t get to fire Hi-ho! She’s off to work for time I should have finished out with higher Up than low [Chorus] I made a promise to myself I wouldn’t start with anyone else but You know how it is with these promises Made in the heat of the moment They’re made before right becomes wrong Whenever you’ve got what I want [Outro] And you’ve got what I want Oh yeah! It’s only for the night And I will give it back tomorrow I swear

Cette chanson aborde des thèmes de désir et de promesse, où le protagoniste exprime son envie intense pour quelque chose, ou quelqu'un, qu'il n'est pas sûr de pouvoir garder. Il jongle avec ses souvenirs d'une relation tumultueuse, pleine de promesses échangées dans des moments de passion, mais aussi de regrets et d'incertitudes. L'artiste évoque la complexité des engagements pris sous le coup de l'émotion, soulignant que souvent ces promesses se révèlent fragiles et temporaires. Le récit se déroule dans une ambiance nocturne, où le protagoniste semble se retrouver dans des situations imprévues dues à son enthousiasme, mais également à une désillusion. Alors qu'il idéalise son amour, il réalise que la réalité ne correspond pas toujours aux rêves qu'il avait en tête. Au final, il se questionne sur la vraie nature de ses désirs et de ses attentes vis-à-vis de l'autre.
