Solo Show
Solitude in Spotlight: A Musical Tale of Isolation
Lyrics
The light in you is a dusty bulb
The inner light within you is dim and neglected.
Hardly shining, all alone
It's barely shining, and you're in solitude.
Flickering, it's no surprise
The light flickers, and this instability is not unexpected.
No one needed you anyway
Others don't find you necessary or essential.
The chemicals you've been prescribed
You are taking prescribed chemicals, possibly medication, which may be numbing your emotions.
Are making you feel less alive
These chemicals are making you feel less alive or vibrant.
Showing how you feel inside
Despite the numbing effect, your emotions are still visible.
Everybody runs away and hides
People avoid and conceal themselves when confronted with your emotions.
You're a last minute add-on, solo show
You are added to an event hastily, and it's a solo performance.
Last minute, solo show
This is a last-minute, individual presentation.
Behind the beat, buzzing notes
Your musical performance is offbeat, with buzzing notes.
Four songs, fifteen minutes
Only four songs in a fifteen-minute span.
And a solo show
It's a solo show, emphasizing your individuality.
On the stage you're indisposed
Onstage, you seem unwell or incapacitated.
Suddenly the panic grows
Suddenly, panic intensifies within you.
Flee the scene and no one knows
You escape the situation, and no one is aware of your departure.
No ones wondering where'd he go
No one is curious about your whereabouts.
All of your friends missed the set
Your friends miss your performance.
You thought it was the worst one yet
You believe it's the worst performance, with mistakes.
You messed up twice and skipped a song
You made errors and skipped a song you wrote.
You wrote it, how could you get it wrong
Despite being the creator, you got your own creation wrong.
Last minute add-on, solo show
You were added last-minute, making it a solo performance.
Last minute, solo show
Reiteration of the last-minute nature of the solo show.
Behind the beat, buzzing notes
The music is offbeat, with buzzing notes.
Seven people faking interest after
After the performance, only seven people pretend to be interested.
Four songs
Four songs were played during your fifteen-minute solo show.
At your fifteen minute
Emphasizing the brevity of the solo performance.
Solo show
A concluding reference to the solo show.
