Journey Through Life's Chapters: Circus Maximus 'Pages' Meaning
Lyrics
Imagine me as you
Expressing a desire for the listener to envision the speaker as themselves
Be my eyes and ears
Requesting the listener to be the speaker's senses and perception
As you read on
Encouraging the listener to continue reading and understanding
Learn about my past, present and future
Asking the listener to learn about the speaker's past, present, and future
My flaws, my belief
Referring to the speaker's imperfections and personal convictions
My success and my love
Mentioning the speaker's achievements and romantic feelings
Loss and all my hopes
Addressing themes of loss, aspirations, and optimism
My grief and my death
Reflecting on grief and contemplating mortality
Suffering in silence
Enduring pain without vocalizing it, seeking inclusion in life
Just to be a part of life
Choosing to smile publicly while singing deceptive lyrics
Smiling at the crowd while singing words made up by lies
Recalling an untroubled childhood with no regrets
My childhood years came and went
Expressing the fleeting nature of childhood
I felt nothing to repent
Claiming a lack of remorse for past actions
Minutes felt like hours
Describing the slow passage of time
And the hours seemed like
Leaving an unfinished comparison about time perception
Days, nights
Referring to the loss of internal aspects
All inside is lost in
Feeling disoriented and frightened
Haze, frights
Expressing fear of progressing in life
Scared of turning another page
Being afraid to face the unknown future
Saved memories
Preserving memories for the speaker
Read them to me and tell
Requesting the listener to read and share the speaker's memories
Tell me my story
Asking the listener to narrate the speaker's life story
Some, some will hurt but I can't live without
Accepting painful memories as part of life
I strive to find and re-light the flame
Striving to rediscover and reignite personal passion
Need to re-fuel and throw away the shame
Expressing the need to replenish and discard shame
Mind over matter
Advocating the power of the mind over challenging situations
That's how it's played
Describing life as a mental game
Suffering in silence
Enduring pain silently for the sake of participation in life
Just to be a part of life
Smiling outwardly while singing deceptive words to fit in
Smiling at the crowd while singing
Continuing the theme of deceptive lyrics and public facade
Words made up by lies
Reiterating the concept of false expression through words
My childhood years came and went
Recalling an untroubled childhood with no regrets
I felt nothing to repent
Claiming a lack of remorse for past actions
Minutes felt like hours
Describing the slow passage of time
And the hours seemed like
Leaving an unfinished comparison about time perception
Days, nights
Referring to the loss of internal aspects
All inside is lost in
Feeling disoriented and frightened
Haze, frights
Expressing fear of progressing in life
Scared of turning another page
Being afraid to face the unknown future
Oh another page
Expressing fear of turning another metaphorical page in life
