Lyrics
For common good it’s understood
For the benefit of all, there is a shared understanding
That nothing’s what it seems
Reality may be deceptive or different from appearances
Razor blades and love charades
Metaphorically referring to pain and deceptive romantic gestures
Oh life is but a dream
Life is transient and illusory
Going with the flow
Adapting to circumstances without resistance
Clutching the oars
Describes holding onto control or direction
Just can’t let them go
Reluctance to release control
Row row row
A rhythmic repetition possibly suggesting effort or routine
A constant race to stay in place
Continuous effort to maintain one's position in a competitive environment
And swallow all the cream
Metaphor for enduring challenges and accepting undesired outcomes
A passing note, you row that boat
Symbolizing the transient nature of life's experiences
So gently down the stream
Referencing the traditional nursery rhyme with a metaphorical twist
Going with the flow
Reiteration of adapting to circumstances without resistance
Clutching the oars
Emphasizes the struggle to maintain control or direction
Just can’t let them
Continuation of the reluctance to release control
Off you go
Suggests a departure or letting go
Hello Neptune Goodbye Johnny Doe
A farewell, possibly to an ordinary or generic persona
