Seeing the Real You at Last

The words

A lover who has finally seen through a partner's act and feels relieved, even liberated, to be done with the illusion.

The singer looks back on a relationship in which he was taken in, and announces that the mask has finally slipped. Rather than grieving, he sounds wry and lightened, as though clear sight is its own reward. The verses are full of the tough-talking, film-noir attitude that runs through the album. The arrangement is punchy mid-1980s rock, with horns, backing singers and a bright, heavy drum sound.
