MacArthur Park

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down...

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, no!

A lost love remains here, sitting by himself, unable to forget all of the feelings shared at this park. As it gets dark, eyes begin to fill with tears (MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark). The sweet green icing begins flowing down refers to the green leaves on the trees flowing together as seen through tears. This love ended without reason (Someone left the cake out in the rain...), he will never love like this again ('Cause it took so long to bake it), and a love like this will never exist again (And I'll never have that recipe again...).

Anyone who has experienced young love can relate to this. Unpredictable, often blinding, and without mercy are probably the best ways of describing the only emotion that can feel perfect in one moment, and like the end of the world in the next.
