Parade
Unveiling the Paradox of Understanding and Misinterpretation
Lyrics
You know it's true, we're both the same.
You and I are similar or share common traits.
In a storm of words we get lost in what is said.
In a conversation, we can become confused or overwhelmed by the words exchanged.
You know me and you see through me,
You are familiar with who I am, and you understand me.
So why are you confused by the things I say and do?
Despite your understanding, you seem perplexed by my words and actions.
Do you know me?
Questioning if you truly know me.
You see the strain upon my face.
Visible signs of stress or pressure on my face.
Please, don't rain on my parade.
Asking not to spoil or dampen my excitement or plans.
It comes to light, it comes in waves,
Revelation or realization occurs gradually or in waves.
It's gone too late.
It's too late, something is already gone or lost.
It goes astray, it goes too far and you say
Things deviate or go off course, and you express acknowledgment.
It's clear I know where all your buttons are.
Clear understanding of your emotional triggers or sensitive points.
It's not so strange, you know, it's not so queer
It's not unusual or odd; I am aware of your vulnerabilities.
That I know they're there 'cause I'm the one
I deliberately placed those vulnerabilities as you feared.
Who put then there, exactly as you feared.
Acknowledging responsibility for causing concerns.
I know you and I see through you
I understand you, but I am surprised by your words and actions.
So why am I surprised by the things you say and do?
Expressing confusion or disbelief in response to your behavior.
I don't know why.
Uncertain about the reasons behind your actions.
I see the strain upon your face.
Observing stress or pressure on your face.
I won't rain on your parade.
Committing not to spoil or hinder your plans or mood.
It comes to light, it comes in waves,
Revelation or realization occurs gradually or in waves (repeated).
It's gone too late.
It's too late, something is already gone or lost (repeated).
Don't steal the smile from off my face.
Requesting not to take away my happiness.
Please don't rain on my parade......
Reiteration of the plea not to spoil or dampen my excitement.
I know that I can't replace you
Acknowledging the inability to replace you.
And it would be a lie to say that I could ever try.
Admitting the impossibility of attempting to replace you.
It's gone too late.
It's too late, something is already gone or lost (repeated).
It's gone too late.
-It cuts two ways
The situation has consequences or implications in multiple ways.
It cuts two ways.
The situation has dual effects or outcomes.
It's gone too late.
It's too late, something is already gone or lost (repeated).
