The Partys Over
Farewell to Illusions: Unmasking the Bittersweet Reality
Lyrics
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
The celebration or event has concluded; it's time to end the festivities.
They've burst your pretty balloon
Someone has ruined your optimistic or happy mood.
And taken the moon away
A metaphorical expression indicating a loss of romantic or dreamlike feelings.
It's time to wind up the masquerade
It's time to end the pretense or act, possibly referring to hiding one's true emotions.
Just make your mind up
Make a decision; it's time to face the consequences or responsibilities.
The piper must be paid
The consequences or debts must be settled, possibly relating to the choices made.
The party's over, the candles flicker and dim
The celebration is ending; the atmosphere is fading away.
You danced and dreamed through the night
You enjoyed the night, possibly with a romantic partner, and it felt right at that moment.
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now it's time to face reality; dreams and illusions must come to an end.
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Emphasis on waking up from a dreamlike state; it's time to be aware of reality.
Take off your makeup, the party's over
Remove the facade or pretense; the celebratory act is over.
It's all over, my friend
The event or joyful moment has ended, indicating a sense of finality.
The party's over, it's time to call it a day
Reiteration of the need to end the celebration or event.
They've burst your pretty balloon
Repetition of the idea that someone has spoiled the positive atmosphere.
And taken the moon away
Restating the metaphorical loss of romantic or dreamlike feelings.
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Re-emphasis on waking up from illusions or dreams; reality must be acknowledged.
Take off your makeup, the party's over
Repeat of the instruction to remove the artificial facade or makeup.
It's all over, my friend
Reiteration of the finality of the event; it's all over.
It's all over, my friend
A final declaration that the event or joyous occasion is finished.
