Lyrics
Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
Jacky finds happiness only when performing on stage
I make this claim, now let me explain
Claiming that Jacky's happiness on stage needs explanation
Since she lost you
Her happiness on stage is linked to the loss of someone
Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
Reiteration of Jacky's happiness tied to being on stage
Free in the truth of make-believe
She feels liberated in the world of make-believe and truth
Since she lost you
Emphasizing the connection between her happiness and loss
She is determined to prove
Her determination to demonstrate her ability to endure pain
How she can build up the pain
Building up the pain experienced from each lonely day
Of every lost and lonely day
Reflecting on the pain of lost days
Jacky's only happy when she's up on the stage
Reiteration of Jacky's happiness only on stage
She'll make you believe what you'll never believe
She can make others believe things they thought impossible
Since she lost you
Linking her ability to make others believe to her loss
Jacky's only Jacky when she's up on the stage
Highlighting her true self emerges on stage
Living bodies that actually move
Performing on stage brings life to her existence
Since she lost you
Reiterating the connection between her happiness and loss
She is determined to prove
Her determination to prove her ability to fill the emptiness
How she can fill up the page
Filling the page with experiences of lost and lonely days
Of every lost and lonely day
Reflecting on the pain of lost days (similar to line 10)
Cue lights! I am singing to my lover at night
Announcing a performance with cues and singing to a lover
Scene Two: Everyone who comes must go
Describing scenes where everyone eventually leaves
Scene Four: Blacker than ever before
Depicting a dark and worsening situation
Scene Six: This country is making me sick
Expressing dissatisfaction with the country and its impact
Jacky cracks when she isn't on stage
Jacky's emotional breakdown when not on stage
See the effects of sexual neglect
Highlighting the effects of neglect, specifically sexual
No script, no crew, no auto-cue
No scripted performance, crew, or guidance
No audience telling her what to do
No external influence from the audience
Exit, exit
Announcing an exit from the stage
Everybody's heading for the exit, exit
Repetition of the theme of everyone heading for the exit
Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's heading for the exit, exit
-Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's running to the exit, exit
-Everybody's heading for the exit, exit
-Everybody's heading for the exit, exit
-Everybody's heading for the exit, exit, exit, exit
-Exit, exit, exit, exit, exit, exit, exit, exit, exit
Repeating the concept of exiting
