Anna Karnina Lyrics
Its like this, Anna, its like that, Anna. . .
Many men wanna piece the thing
She got the eyes that will pierce you skin
Whether smiling or crying she sees the end
And her mind's in the sky but her feet pretend
That she walks on the beach, sparkin a leaf
But the trees don't ease what she feels within
Sees men who see past her,
But no matter the wait that's no faith like folks who need pastors
Real women on a set with actors
Who all try to fuck the director the after
Cue music close up back lights, keep the shadow in the front
Pull back cut the tears and laughter
Her man is her fool for not tryin'
Holding up the sky, moment to the time
Lover and a fighter but for now rather try
Being neither to the people in the theater
Realize she's a star
Nobody knows it yet but no, no, no disrespect
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, fuck them all is your life to live cuz you a star.
And nobody knows it yet, but no no disrespect
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, fuck them all is your life to live.
Now whatever way she talks, heads turn away in a shade of dark
In a way, many say she was made for art
If the world is a stage then she played her part
Worst case scenario she find herself, in the wrong film runnin all by herself
And in hell, mademoiselle sells time herself, will she ever bail only time will tell
Real women turn to desperation 'cause one man's love ain't
Enough to save her
From settlement income, liquidation she fills the prescription heroin addictions
Seas and reflections, mirrors never mention descendants
With dreams to get free, lover and a fighter but for now rather try
Being neither to the people in the theater
All see she's a star.
Nobody knows it yet but no, no, no disrespect
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, fuck them all is your life to live cuz you a star.
And nobody knows it yet, but no no disrespect
'cause you deserve much more than this
And all through it all, fuck them all is your life to live.
Its like this, Anna, its like that, Anna. . .
She got the eyes that will pierce you skin
Whether smiling or crying she sees the end
And her mind's in the sky but her feet pretend
That she walks on the beach, sparkin a leaf

This song is about the actress Anna Karina. The context can be read on her wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Karina
But the meaning goes beyond Anna Karina - she's just the example from the Nouvelle Vague (which is the theme of the Cinematropolis album). It can be expanded to a much wider scope of life and cinema. A girl seeking something from a guy but nothing can satisfy what she's yearning for.
When I'm feeling crappy I repeat the chorus in my head, "Nobody knows it yet but no, no, no disrespect/ 'cause you deserve much more than this/And all through it all, fuck them all/is your life to live/cuz you a star." though I'm not a star. .
