Clown Beach's Sunday Serenade: A Yearning for Authentic Connection
Lyrics
I'm just thinking to myself
I am reflecting on my thoughts.
If it wasn't meant to be
If the relationship wasn't destined, it wasn't meant to happen.
Then it wasn't meant to be at all
Emphasizing the idea that certain things are not meant to be.
It's safe to say you probably don't care
It is likely that you are indifferent or unconcerned.
For a drunk who paints his face
Referring to a person who drinks and engages in face painting for a living.
For his paygrade
For the salary or income level associated with the job.
And no, I wouldn't blame you at all
Expressing understanding if the person doesn't care.
At least I hope she'd consider me
Expressing a hope that the person would at least consider the speaker.
For a second, or a minute
Desiring a brief moment of consideration from the person.
Or a few months out of this year
Expressing a desire for a longer connection within the year.
It'd make me so happy if I could hold her so near
Expressing happiness at the prospect of being close to the person.
I just wanna clown around with you
Expressing a desire for playful and carefree interactions.
We could even have a kid if you wanted to
Openness to the idea of having a child together.
Yeah, I wanna be myself with you
Expressing a desire to be genuine and authentic with the person.
As much of myself that you could take
Willingness to reveal one's true self to the person.
I know I try my best to show that I'm not like other guys
Asserting that the speaker is different from other men.
I mean, I'd like to think I'm nice
Claiming to be a nice person.
It's really hard to gauge that when I'm under the guise
Acknowledging difficulty in demonstrating niceness when disguised.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's uniqueness.
With the paint on my face
Referring to the distinctive face paint and attire worn.
And the flower that I wear
Highlighting the symbolic burden carried by the speaker.
This is my cross to bear
Symbolizing the challenges faced by the speaker.
You and me could leave this town
Suggesting a desire to escape the current environment with the person.
You could take up a position
Proposing a role for the person within the circus.
Help the circus with their mission
Encouraging the person to support the circus's objectives.
I just wanna clown around with you
Reiteration of the desire for carefree interaction.
We could even have a kid if you wanted to
Repeating the openness to having a child together.
Yeah, I wanna be myself with you
Reaffirming the desire for genuine connection.
As much of myself that you could take
Reiterating the willingness to reveal oneself to the person.
I just wanna clown around with you
Reiteration of the desire for playful interaction.
We could even go to the petting zoo
Suggesting an outing to a petting zoo as a playful activity.
Yeah, I wanna be myself with you
Emphasizing the desire to be authentic with the person.
As much of myself that you could take
Reiterating the willingness to reveal oneself to the person.
