Wednesday
Nothing here to fear
I'm just sitting around
being foolish when there
is work to be done
Just a hang-up call
and the quiet breathing
of our Persian
we call Cajun
on a Wednesday
so we go from year to year
with secrets we've been
keeping
Though you say you're
not a Templar man
Seems as if we're
circling for very
different reasons
But one day the Eagle
has to land
Out past the fountain
a left by the station
I start the day
in the usual way
Then think
- well why not -
and stop for a coffee
then begin to recall
things that you say
No one's at the door
You suggest a ghost
perhaps a phantom
I agree with this in part
Something is with us
I can't put my
finger on -
is Thumbalina size 10
on a Wednesday -
so we go from year to year
with secrets we've been
keeping
Though you sa you're
not a Templar man
you tell me to cheer up
you suspect we're
oddly even
Even still
the Eagle has to land
Out past the fountain
a left by the station
I start the day
in the usual way
Then think - well why not -
and stop for a coffee
and begin to recall
things that you say
Pluck up the courage
and snap it's gone again
I start humming 'When Doves
Cry'
Can someone help me
I think that I'm
Lost here
Lost in a place
called
America
I think this song is about loving someone that you can't stand. It's the strangeness of your connection to someone you find very obnoxious or disrespectful and who doesn't treat you right but that love...that very peculiar love is still there and it's boggling her mind because she can't get away from this person as hard as she tries and it's really her choice.
Here's Tori's description of it:
Scarlet moves on to take other lovers. In WEDNESDAY she's in a relationship with a man who harbours secrets. "The trust is gone and she doesn't know whether she is imagining that he's up to something or whether he really is. She's becoming something she never wanted to become - possessive and suspicious." But on another level, Scarlet's love-affair is with America. "Is the land of the free really so free? People have put their trust in the ideal of America. But whether it's the broken treaties with the native American people or the recent stock market crash, greed has taken over."
-- Scarlet's Walk bio
"Wednesday is a mixture of many things. Mainly because, she's [Scarlet] at a place now where she realizes that love is a bit complicated and it's not just about a fantasy that you have of somebody. And so, Wednesday is kind of involved and complicated because it's not a cut and dry sort of idea. It's not "I don't like this person", it's not that simple. I think you might be really, um, very taken with somebody and they might be very much in your life. But there are things that they do that are quite disrespectful or cross a line in a way that is, um, very passive-aggressive. So you can't really talk about it. Manipulation makes her cry, especially when it's with people that you supposedly are close with. You see covert activity, you would think, happens with the outside forces. Not the inner circle. And Wednesday's very messy. It seems like a happy little song. But it's um...it's as I said before, things aren't cut and dry."
