Lyrics
Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Feeling confident, but lacking awareness
Building up a towar on shaking ground
Building something significant on unstable ground
Once in a world full of colors
Once in a vibrant world
Back to see just ruins there to be found
Returning to find only ruins
And now you're falling, crawling
Experiencing a downfall, struggling
Diggin' in the broken remains
Searching through broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Reflecting on what seemed strong
Slowly it's been fading away
Slowly losing strength or significance
Come into the painting on the wall
Invitation to enter a depicted scene
So the joker smiles
A joker in the painting is smiling
Come into the painting on the wall
Encouragement to enter the depicted world
No more crying
No more sorrow or distress
Illusions let you in from the rain
Deceptive appearances offering refuge from challenges
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
Following the guidance of Mr. Hopkins, possibly a character
Stories are told, want to hear him?
Sharing stories, inviting interest
Talking from the picture to your head
Communication from an image to the mind
Follow the call of a puppet
Following the influence of a puppet
Led into a black room painted red
Led into a dark room painted red
Where life is painless, brainless
Describing a painless, brainless existence
You don't think of broken remains
Ignoring the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Reflecting on what was supposed to be strong
Slowly it's been fading away
Slowly fading away
Come into the painting on the wall
Reiteration of the invitation into the depicted scene
So the joker smiles
A joker in the painting is smiling
Come into the painting on the wall
Encouragement to enter the depicted world again
No more crying
No more sorrow or distress
Illusions let you in from the rain
Deceptive appearances offering refuge from challenges
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
Following the guidance of Mr. Hopkins, possibly a character
Look at the picture
Observing a picture
Point at the child there on the floor
Pointing out a child on the floor in the image
Oh realize that it's a looking glass
Realizing it's a looking glass, suggesting self-reflection
Come into the painting on the wall
Reiteration of the invitation into the depicted scene
So the joker smiles
A joker in the painting is smiling
Come into the painting on the wall
Encouragement to enter the depicted world again
No more crying
No more sorrow or distress
Illusions let you in from the rain
Deceptive appearances offering refuge from challenges
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
Following the guidance of Mr. Hopkins, possibly a character
Come into the painting on the wall
Reiteration of the invitation into the depicted scene
So the joker smiles
A joker in the painting is smiling
Come into the painting on the wall
Encouragement to enter the depicted world again
No more crying
No more sorrow or distress
