Death of an Interior Decorator Lyrics

You were the mother of three girls so sweet
Who stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street
But after conception your body lay cold
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old

Can you tell me why have been so sad?
He took a lover on a far away beach
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

The girls were all there, they traded their vows
The youngest one glared with furrowed brows
They tenderly kissed then cut the cake
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
The one you thought would spend the years
So perfectly placed below the mirror
Arriving late, you clean the debris
And walked into the angry sea

It felt just like falling in love again
And it felt just like falling in love again

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so

What is the Meaning of Death of an Interior Decorator?

Exploring themes of loss and transformation, this poignant track delves into the life of a woman whose personal and professional worlds collide amidst heartache. 🌺 As an interior decorator, she meticulously crafts beautiful spaces, yet her own life feels disarrayed by emotional neglect and the passage of time. The wedding scene symbolizes a pivotal moment—her creations are destroyed, mirroring her shattered expectations of love and fulfillment. Ultimately, her walk into the sea suggests a profound resignation or perhaps a rebirth, as she confronts her sadness head-on. This song beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of facing one's inner turmoil while trying to maintain outward poise. 💔
