In Mona Lisan Moan Eartheater is wondering how her lover can feel all these things about her but can never express them. That is expressed through a metaphor of some sort of paraphilia, between the lover & the painting of Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci.
[Intro]
How you gonna see me in your dreams
Then freeze when you meet me?
(For real)
How you gonna meet me in your dreams
Then freeze when you see me?
Chest out, mouth open, breathing heavy
[Verse]
How you gonna see me in your dreams
Then freeze when you meet me?
I'm sucking the same air you're breathing
How you gonna meet me in your dreams
Then freeze when you see me?
I can see your jaw clench
I can tell you smell my neck
How you gonna see me in your dreams
Then freeze when you meet mе?
Should I walk away, see you in my wake?
When I step back it's a vacuum
How you gonna meet mе in your dreams
Then freeze when you see me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven't you got a watch?
Second hands knocking
Knocking on my silk stocking
I know you're stalking
Watching
I know you're watching
First one on my story clocking
What am I to you?
A painting in a museum
No touching
[Chorus]
Gonna need you to act on it
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Come make Mona Lisa moan
Kiss the painting
I'm waiting
[Outro]
How you gonna see me in your dreams
Then freeze when you meet me?
(For real)
How you gonna meet me in your dreams
Then freeze when you see me?
Should I walk away, see you in my wake?
When I step back it's a vacuum
How you gonna see me in your dreams
Then freeze when you meet me?
