Lyrics
You've got a story for them
You have a narrative to present to others
The cost is not discussed
The price or consequences are not openly talked about
And nothing ever changes
Despite the narrative, nothing really changes
among spinning tops
Symbolic reference to constant repetition or routine
Your words are loud and cautious
Your words are both bold and cautious
Their claps are firm
The applause from the audience is strong
and synchronised
It is well-coordinated and synchronized
For all the favors
Acknowledging favors received
and candid balls
Reference to honest and straightforward actions
For the trade-ins
Referring to exchanges or compromises
and leading on
Leading others on or guiding them
to the unknown
Moving towards an uncertain future
for leading on
Continuing to guide or influence others
Don't spill it all, be careful
Cautioning against revealing everything, advising to be careful
Just keep it calm and improvise
Suggesting to remain composed and adapt to situations
cos you're the savior
Indicating a role as a savior or protector
their number one
Being seen as the primary figure by others
Like all the faded
Comparing to things that have faded or lost prominence
that led us on
Similar to faded things that guided a journey in the past
to the unknown
Continuing the journey into an uncertain future
They led us on
Reflecting on past guidance towards the unknown
to the uknown
Repeating the idea of being led into the unknown
Lead us on
An appeal or request to be led into the unknown
