Ever the Actor
Ever the Actor: Unveiling the Drama Within
Lyrics
One light upon the stage
Expressing the focus on a single spotlight on the stage, symbolizing attention.
Awaiting its cast
Anticipation for the performers who will occupy the stage.
A single soul steps in the glow
A lone individual steps into the spotlight, ready to take on any assigned role.
To play whatever role you ask
Willingness to play any role requested.
If you could get inside, one step inside my world
An invitation to understand the speaker's world, where the best is concealed and unheard.
You'd find the best beside the rest I hide, unheard
Highlighting the quality that is hidden and not recognized by others.
The curtain's drawn
Reference to the conclusion of a performance, suggesting retirement of the actors.
The seats are up
The audience has left, and the stage is empty.
It's time the players retire
Indicating it's time for the performers to step back.
They're all in me
Suggesting that the experiences and personas of the actors reside within the speaker.
As much as you
Claiming that the audience is also part of this shared experience.
It's that we choose
Emphasizing the power of choice in deciding what to reveal or conceal.
Who to show which to
Highlighting the selective nature of showing certain aspects to certain people.
If you could get inside, one step inside my world
Reiteration of the invitation to understand the speaker's concealed world.
You'd find the best beside the rest I hide, unheard
Re-emphasizing the presence of quality hidden from view.
Ever the actor
Declaring a consistent role of being an actor in various situations.
Am I
Reaffirming the speaker's identity as an enduring actor.
Ever the actor
Continuation of the declaration of constant acting.
Ever the actor, waiting round, dressing down
Stating the perpetual nature of acting, waiting, and dressing down.
Baiting the captor, play the crowd mess it round
Describing the provocative and disruptive nature of playing to the audience.
The adapter, making rounds, you can sound
Referring to adaptability and versatility in engaging with different situations.
Ever the actor, once you're lost, you're never found
Emphasizing the potential difficulty of returning to authenticity once lost.
Ever the actor, waiting round, dressing down
Reiteration of the perpetual nature of acting, waiting, and dressing down.
Baiting the captor, play the crowd mess it round
Repeating the idea of provocative and disruptive interactions with the audience.
The adapter, making rounds, you can sound
Reemphasizing adaptability and versatility in engaging with different situations.
Ever the actor, once you're lost, you're found
Stating that once authenticity is lost, it may be challenging to rediscover.
