Lyrics
Four minutes 'til the sun goes down and the dark creeps under my door
Anticipation of the approaching darkness and uncertainty as night falls.
Four minutes 'til the lights go out and the crowd starts screaming for more
Countdown to the moment when lights go out, signaling the end of an event with audience enthusiasm.
I don't know where the good one's gone and I don't know who to believe
Expressing confusion and a sense of loss, unsure about the whereabouts of something good and questioning trust.
Four minutes and I don't know why, but it all means nothing to me
Reflecting on the insignificance of a specific time frame (four minutes) and its lack of meaning.
I wrote it down in a lullaby and sang it to a circus clown
Conveying a personal experience through the creation of a lullaby and sharing it with a circus clown.
He laughed loud and he laughed long, said son you've done me proud
Receiving approval and pride from the circus clown, highlighting a moment of validation.
Sometimes it seems so strange, like nothing's ever going to change
Expressing the feeling of stagnation and the perception that change is elusive.
But here it comes, it's coming on, coming on like a hurricane
An anticipation of a significant event or change, likened to the powerful force of a hurricane.
Here we go again
Indicating a repetitive cycle or a return to a familiar situation.
Here we go again
Emphasizing the repetition of a situation, possibly with a sense of resignation.
Goodbye and good luck my old friend
Bidding farewell and expressing good wishes to an old friend, suggesting a sense of finality.
It's the end of the world again
Portraying a dramatic perspective, describing a situation as if it's the end of the world.
A born winner, but you're looking thinner, haven't eaten in so many days
Depicting a character who is a natural winner but facing challenges, possibly struggling with self-neglect.
You take it all, tear it all down, rip it up and throw it away
Encouraging the destruction and dismissal of everything, implying a disregard for the existing state of affairs.
It's a sick joke that someone wrote and I think I might be losing my mind
Describing a situation as a dark and twisted joke, expressing concern about mental stability.
But here it comes, it's coming on, I'll see you on the other side
Reiterating the anticipation of a significant event or change, suggesting a transition to another phase.
Here we go again
Repeating the theme of encountering a familiar situation, possibly with a resigned acceptance.
Here we go again
Continuing the emphasis on the repetitive nature of the situation, reinforcing a sense of inevitability.
Goodbye and good luck my old friend
Repeating the farewell sentiment to an old friend, reinforcing a sense of finality.
It's the end of the world again
Echoing the dramatic portrayal of a situation as the end of the world, concluding the lyrics.
