The Party's Over
Fading Echoes: Embracing Reality as the Curtains Close
Lyrics
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
The celebration has concluded, and it's time to end the event.
They've burst your pretty balloon
Someone has spoiled the joyous atmosphere you created.
And taken the moon away
Your romantic aspirations or illusions have been shattered.
It's time to wind up the masquerade
It's time to bring an end to the deceptive or pretending behavior.
Just make your mind up
Make a decision; it's time to face the consequences.
The piper must be paid
There are consequences to face, often related to one's actions.
The party's over, the candles flicker and dim
The celebration is truly over; the lights are fading.
You danced and dreamed through the night
You enjoyed and imagined a perfect night, especially with a special person.
It seemed to be right just being with him
It felt right being with him, but now reality must be faced.
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
All dreams, no matter how pleasant, must eventually come to an end.
Take off your makeup, the party's over
Remove the facade or pretense; the celebration is over.
It's all over, my friend
It's finished, my friend; there's no going back.
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
Reiteration: The festivities have concluded, and it's time to end them.
They've burst your pretty balloon
Someone has disrupted your happiness or plans once again.
And taken the moon away
Your romantic aspirations or illusions have been shattered again.
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Reiteration: All dreams, no matter how pleasant, must eventually come to an end.
Take off your makeup, the party's over
Remove the facade or pretense again; the celebration is over.
It's all over, my friend
It's completely finished, my friend; there's no turning back.
It's all over, my friend
Emphasizing the finality of the situation; it's all over.
