The Party
A Celebration of Life's Chaos: The Party by Regina Spektor
Lyrics
You're like a party somebody threw me
You represent an event or celebration thrown for me.
You taste like birthday
Your essence is reminiscent of the joy associated with birthdays.
You look like New Years
Your appearance is akin to the excitement of New Year's celebrations.
You're like a big parade through town
You are like a grand parade moving through the town.
You leave such a mess but you're so fun
Despite the chaos you create, you bring immense enjoyment.
Tell all the neighbors to start knocking down walls
Encouraging neighbors to break down barriers and join in the revelry.
To grab their guitars and run out to the hall
Urging others to grab their guitars and share in the musical experience.
And we're coming out right along to sing them my new song
Together, we are stepping out to sing a new song to the world.
For every place there is a bus
There's transportation for every destination in life.
That'll take you where you must
Consider your resources and relationships before embarking on a journey.
Start counting all your money and friends before you come back again
Reflect on your wealth and friendships before returning.
For every road we can retrace
We can revisit the paths we've taken in life.
For every memory we can't face
Confront the memories that we find difficult to face.
For every name that's been erased
Acknowledge the names and experiences that have been forgotten.
Let's have another round
Let's embrace another cycle of celebration and enjoyment.
May I propose a little toast?
Proposing a toast in honor of those who have suffered the most.
For all the ones who hurt the most
Dedicating a moment for the pain caused by lost friends.
For all the friends that we have lost
Remembering and honoring departed friends.
Let's give them one more round of applause
Applauding and acknowledging those who have left us.
But you're like a party somebody threw me
Reiterating that you are like a joyous event thrown for me.
You taste like birthday
Your essence continues to evoke the joy of birthdays.
You look like New Year
Your appearance remains a symbol of New Year's excitement.
You're like a big parade through town
Similar to a lively parade causing chaos but providing fun.
That leaves such a mess but you're so fun
Leaving behind a mess, yet the enjoyment derived from you is undeniable.
