Candy and Ice Cream
Unveiling the Dark Carnival: Deception, Desires, and the Sweet Seduction
Lyrics
Drumroll please
Introduction, anticipation for a revelation
Why are clowns so despised
Raising the question of why clowns are disliked
Cause we're so filled with lies
Suggesting that clowns are associated with deceit
With balloons and a painted on smile
Describing the typical appearance of a clown
The uncanny confusion
Referring to the confusing nature of clowns
This transparent illusion
Highlighting the deceptive nature of clowns
Is your gut telling you that we're vile
Asking if instinct indicates the sinister nature of clowns
But are things all that clear
Questioning the clarity of perception
We weren't always so feared
Reminding that clowns were not always feared
You loved us so back in our day
Recalling a time when people loved clowns
And your face glowed and eyes gleamed
Describing the joy and admiration for "Candy and Ice Cream"
For Candy and Ice Cream
Reference to the delights associated with clowns
Your defenses would just melt away
Noting that defenses would dissolve in the face of joy
Well clearly I'm loathsome
Acknowledging a sense of self-loathing
And now that you've grown some
Observing that the audience has matured
You're safer now, Or so you say
Suggesting a false sense of safety in adulthood
But what truly is funny
Highlighting the irony in the confidence of maturity
Is your confidence honey
Stating that confidence makes one vulnerable
It makes you the easiest prey
Asserting that confidence makes one an easy target
I have many disguises
Claiming to possess various deceptive identities
You still have your vices
Noting that individuals still have weaknesses
And I know what lowers your guard
Asserting knowledge of what lowers defenses
And your face glows and eyes gleam
Recalling the joy associated with "Candy and Ice Cream"
For Candy and Ice Cream
Connecting joy to the speaker's ability to harm
Destroying you's never been hard
Asserting that causing harm is effortless
So get tucked in tight
Advising to be cautious and prepared
And I'll see you tonight
Expressing an intention to confront later
And there's no use in trying to
Asserting futility in attempting to hide
Hide
Emphasizing the inevitability of confrontation
