Lyrics
The world is swimming like a crazy oyster
The world is unpredictable and chaotic like a crazy oyster.
It chew you up and spit you out
The world can be harsh, breaking you down and casting you aside.
Sometime it hits you like a kick in the cloisters
Sometimes challenges hit you unexpectedly, creating a sense of doubt.
That overwhelming sense of doubt
An overwhelming feeling of uncertainty and insecurity.
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Expressing a realization that life is not always straightforward.
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
Reflecting on the consequences of actions or decisions.
The world is just a travelling circus
Describing the world as a constantly moving spectacle.
Each one of us is in the side-show
Each person is part of a unique and individual experience.
Packed in so tightly there's no space inbetween us
People are closely packed together, with little space between them.
Don't keep asking me how I know
A refusal to explain or justify personal knowledge or experiences.
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Reiteration of the unpredictability of life.
Oh look at what we've done
Reflecting on the collective actions of humanity.
All those unfamiliar faces in the crowd
Observing unfamiliar faces in a crowd.
On the photographs of places hanging upside down
Reflecting on memories captured in upside-down photographs.
And I wouldn't know if that is right or wrong
Expressing uncertainty about what is right or wrong.
But there's no trains at the station
Metaphorically indicating a lack of progress or movement.
And all my reservations are gone
Feeling a loss of reservations or certainty.
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life.
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
Reflection on the collective impact of human actions.
The world is spinning like a wheel of fortune
Describing the world as spinning unpredictably, like a wheel of fortune.
The kings are neither up nor down
The status of kings (leaders) is constantly changing.
We follow blindly like a handful of jokers
People blindly follow, likened to jokers in a deck of cards.
The ace is looking for the crown
A powerful figure seeks recognition or dominance.
Oh it just can be, it sure guide me
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life.
Look at what we've done, look at what we've done
Reflection on the collective impact of human actions.
