Sorry Go 'Round
Dance of Ironies: Unveiling Life's Paradoxes in 'Sorry Go 'Round'
Lyrics
The devil may smile with an angels face
The devil may appear pleasant or deceptive like an angel.
A cat may be stolen of its grace
A person's grace or dignity can be taken away, akin to a cat being stolen of its grace.
They say it's just a matter of time and place
Events and outcomes are influenced by time and place.
A man may be less than an animal
A person may behave worse than an animal.
The antichrist write up the honor roll
The antichrist is recognized for achievements, even in a negative sense.
The tightrope walker take the final fall
A tightrope walker faces the consequences, possibly fatal, at the end of their performance.
(at his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that's in the news)
Specific scenarios, like incidents at home or during a holiday, are mentioned, possibly highlighting unexpected events in the news.
Oh, the things you see
Observations of life's events.
Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah,
Ignorance can bring bliss in certain situations.
When arrogance does publicity,
Arrogance gains attention through publicity.
Smiling happily
Happiness while smiling, possibly despite negative circumstances.
It's a merry go round and around and around
Life is likened to a merry-go-round, symbolizing repetitive or cyclical patterns.
The begging boy becomes the begging man
A person in need may remain in a state of need as they grow older.
The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb
A fervent believer fails to protect the innocent or makes sacrifices.
And a child want's to know if the Candyman can
A child is curious about the capabilities of someone, possibly with a dark or mysterious reputation.
Everybody want's the fancy car
Desire for material possessions, such as a fancy car, is common.
And we've all been told not to run too far
Cautionary advice against going too far in pursuit of goals.
But everybody wants to be a rock'n'roll star
Despite warnings, everyone aspires to be a rock'n'roll star.
Oh, the things you see
Observations of life's events.
Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah,
Arrogance appears attractive or prevalent in society.
When ignorance spreads conformity,
Ignorance leads to conformity, possibly negatively impacting society.
Smiling happily
Happiness while smiling, despite negative consequences of arrogance and ignorance.
It's a merry go round and around and around
Life is likened to a merry-go-round, emphasizing its cyclical nature.
