Escape This Circus
Unveiling the Circus of Society's Expectations
Lyrics
I wanna start a war, but it could end on the news
The desire to start a conflict or controversy that might garner media attention, but recognizing the potential negative consequences.
Live at six, another case of, "Whitey up on the moon"
Observation of media focus on events involving white individuals, possibly highlighting racial disparities in coverage.
Really seems like they'll leave us soon
Suggesting the likelihood of people abandoning or leaving a situation.
I'd love to run away, tell the world that I moved
Expressing a desire to escape or leave behind the current environment.
Had to find a way to get away from all of these wolves
Feeling the need to find a way out from threatening or predatory individuals.
To think they're all up there waiting for you
Implies a sense of betrayal or disappointment from those who were anticipated to be supportive or caring.
So don't do
Advising against blindly following instructions or conforming to expectations.
Everything they say to
Encouragement to resist doing everything that is dictated or suggested.
We're all part of this circus
Portraying life as a circus where everyone plays a role, highlighting the chaotic and performative nature of society.
All on our own horses
Metaphorically representing individual struggles or journeys as riding their own horse within this chaotic circus.
Huh
Expression or realization of an idea or sentiment.
I'm in a fancy place, paid too much for the room
Being in an expensive or luxurious place but feeling discomfort or unease due to overpayment.
The clerk, he says to buy some crypto, he had holes in his shoes
An encounter with someone in a lower socioeconomic position giving financial advice, highlighting societal contrasts and unexpected sources of wisdom.
Really hard on a workin' fool
Sympathy for the challenges faced by hardworking individuals in society.
There's a fault in our stars, there's a rock in my shoe
Mentioning obstacles or issues disrupting an otherwise seemingly destined path.
Every day's another reason that we all might lose
Each passing day presents new threats or reasons that could lead to collective failure or downfall.
There ain't nothing that we can do
A sense of powerlessness or resignation to circumstances beyond control.
So don't do
Reiterating the advice to resist conformity or blindly following instructions.
Everything they say to
Encouraging independence of thought and action amidst societal pressures.
We're all part of this circus
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a circus where everyone navigates their own challenges.
All on our own horses
Highlighting individual struggles or battles that everyone faces within the chaos of life.
Huh
Expression or realization of an idea or sentiment.
So don't do
Reiteration of the advice to resist conforming to societal expectations or norms.
That's why I really can't fuck with y'all
Expressing an inability or reluctance to engage or relate to certain individuals or groups.
In fact I'm feeling more grown
A sense of personal growth or maturity, distancing oneself from negative influences.
I really can't fuck with y'all
Reiterating an aversion or unwillingness to associate with certain individuals or behaviors.
And I don't wanna act no more, act no more, act no more
Desire to stop pretending or playing a role, seeking authenticity.
