So, I really need your help!!! Pretty please!!!
I was driving my Lexus back home after a work today, then out of a sudden my radio hit me with this:
And I fell in love with this cover!
Sure, the original is classic from my childhood, but this one is awesome too!
It has the pain and nerve inside!
So, the lyrics are (it's George Michel's cover, if you don't know that funny guy who has been found guilty for masturbating in a public men's room, may him rest in peace):
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We've hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
Now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youI
I sence that this song is about a cheater who feels giulty after his commited sin, but I still don't understand a couple of things/ So, I need your help, as a native speakers.
First:
"Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes"
"The silver screen" is another word for cinema or a movie in my dictionary.
So, do I get it right that this phrase means:
"Something in your eyes reminds me a movie with a sad goodbyes at the end"?
Second:
"I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm"
What the hell does it mean?!!!
Does it mean that the cheater always reveals itself at the end of the day?
That none cheater can hide its sin forever?
Please, explain this line to me!!!
Third:
"I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given"
If he has cheated her, then why he calls her a "friend"?
Is she is his GF or just a friend? If she is just a friend, then how the hell it is cheating?
Fourth:
"Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend"
Time can never heal (mend = heal/repair, right?)
The careless whispers of a good friend"
What the hell doe it mean?
Does it mean that He will never forget the careless whispers he hears now, while dancing with Her?
PLEASE help me to fully understand this song!
Thank you in advance!
