Текст песни No Dice — The Lady Is a Tramp
Wide awake in my bed
running through the words you never said
And my only offense
breaking walls of conscience and your dress.
Now and then I think of what we could have been.
They always said love was a myth
But honestly, you never gave me anything at all to work with
When you never wanted anything to do with me
Four wrongs never made it right
And my dreams were false
They never had the wings to fly
Misread every word you said
And your twisted tongue,
Like your deceptive eyes
Left nothing inside
I thought you'd let me sleep tonight
They always said life was unfair
But was I selfish to think that you actually cared?
You'll never know
And you'll never know
What it's like to be me
When you've fallen too deep
Losing more than your mind to sleep
And I know your times done but come back once more
You are no different from me
I spent my whole life this way
The silent footsteps to my grave
And this is the price I pay
running through the words you never said
And my only offense
breaking walls of conscience and your dress.
Now and then I think of what we could have been.
They always said love was a myth
But honestly, you never gave me anything at all to work with
When you never wanted anything to do with me
Four wrongs never made it right
And my dreams were false
They never had the wings to fly
Misread every word you said
And your twisted tongue,
Like your deceptive eyes
Left nothing inside
I thought you'd let me sleep tonight
They always said life was unfair
But was I selfish to think that you actually cared?
You'll never know
And you'll never know
What it's like to be me
When you've fallen too deep
Losing more than your mind to sleep
And I know your times done but come back once more
You are no different from me
I spent my whole life this way
The silent footsteps to my grave
And this is the price I pay

Краткое описание

Он размышляет о том, чего они могли бы достичь вместе. Песня осуждает миф о любви, указывая, что ему ничего не было дано для работы. Герой чувствует, что был отвергнут, и осознает, что ошибочно интерпретировал каждое её слово. Текст описывает его разочарование в ней, представляя её как ловушку.

Песня подчеркивает бессмысленность любви и терянного времени, заключая, что цена, которую он платит за свои чувства, — это тихие шаги к своей могиле.
