Circus Clown
Unveiling the Mask: Life's Circus Beyond Pretense
Lyrics
Why do you talk about me?
Questioning why the person talks about the singer
I'm not even that entertaining
Expressing modesty, claiming not to be very entertaining
But here you are,
Observing the person's continued attention despite perceived lack of entertainment
Making me your circus star
Feeling like the focus of a circus, being made a spectacle
You fill your cup with drama
Accusing the person of seeking and enjoying drama
Get drunk on others problems
Pointing out the person's tendency to indulge in others' problems
No it's never enough,
Stating that the drama is never sufficient for the person
Will you ever sober up?
Questioning if the person will ever become sober from the drama
Cause I'm tired
Expressing fatigue with the situation
Of all your lies
Being tired of the person's lies
Who made it so hard for you
Questioning who made it difficult for the person to be kind
To just be kind
Reflecting on the difficulty of being kind
Oh I'm so tired
Reiterating the exhaustion from the situation
Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh
Expressing weariness through vocalization
And they called off the crowds
Describing the disapproval from others
Saying you're bringing everyone down
Stating that the person is negatively impacting everyone around
No, no one wants the front row
No one desires to be close to the person's one-man drama show
To a one-man show
Emphasizing the lack of interest in being an audience to the person's solo act
But I'll still stand in the ring
Committing to endure the situation despite the challenges
Cause I know what it's like to be you
Understanding the person's perspective as the singer has been in similar situations
Oh, I'm not perfect,
Acknowledging personal imperfection
I've played puppets too
Admitting to playing the role of a puppet in the past
But I'm tired
Reiterating fatigue with the situation
Of all your lies
Expressing exhaustion from the person's lies
Pretending it doesn't hurt,
Noting the act of pretending not to be hurt while experiencing internal pain
While I'm breaking on the inside
Highlighting emotional turmoil hidden behind a facade
Oh I'm so tired
Reiterating fatigue with the situation
Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh
Expressing weariness through vocalization
And you can call me your circus clown
Accepting the role of being the person's circus clown
Parade my painted smile all over this town,
Describing the performative nature of maintaining a painted smile despite inner feelings
Cause maybe then you'll see how your words affect this world
Hoping that the person realizes the impact of their words on the world
Maybe then you'll listen,
Expressing a desire for the person to start listening
Oh I'm so tired
Reiterating fatigue with the situation
Of all your lies,
Expressing exhaustion from the person's lies
But maybe your hate is just a well-dressed disguise
Suggesting that the person's hatred may be concealed beneath a polished exterior
At the end of the night,
Anticipating the revelation of the person's true self
The curtains will fall
Expecting a moment of truth when the metaphorical curtains fall
And everyone will see you for how you really are,
Believing that others will see the person's true nature
But I'm just tired
Reiterating the singer's exhaustion with the situation
