Monkey on a Wire
Balancing Desires: Monkey on a Wire Explained
Lyrics
They make no sounds,
They are silent and make no noise.
They ring no bell
They do not attract attention or bring any warning signals.
Leaving no traces,
They leave no evidence or marks behind.
They got no tales to tell
They have no stories or experiences to share.
They find no home,
They have no place to belong.
They make no love
They do not engage in emotional connections or relationships.
Casting no shadow while balancing above
They exist without leaving any noticeable impact.
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Expressing a sense of inevitability about pursuing personal desires.
Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire
People have their own burdens or challenges to face (represented as a monkey on a wire).
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
Referring to someone in a position of authority or control.
Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Awaiting the next person to face challenges or difficulties.
They keep no fear, no second prize
They are not afraid, and there is no second chance for success.
Walking like Jesus with voodoo in their eyes
Walking confidently with a mix of spirituality and mysticism.
They come in green, they leave in black
Arriving with innocence and leaving with a sense of tragedy.
Holding dead roses with bullets in their backs
Carrying symbols of love and pain simultaneously.
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Repeating the inevitability of pursuing personal desires.
Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire
Everyone faces their own challenges or struggles.
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Referring to a challenging situation or conflict (fire).
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Anticipating the arrival of the next person facing difficulties.
They make no sound, they ring no bell
Reiteration of their silent nature and unnoticed presence.
Walking like Jesus goin' straight-on into hell
Symbolizing a fearless or determined journey, possibly into trouble.
Oh oh there you go, you and your desire
Repeating the idea of pursuing personal desires despite challenges.
Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire
Everyone carries their own burdens or challenges.
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
Referring to a person in a leadership or influential role.
Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Waiting for the next person to face challenges under leadership.
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Reiteration of facing challenges in a difficult or heated situation.
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Anticipating the arrival of the next person facing difficulties.
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Emphasizing the ongoing cycle of challenges or struggles.
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Continuing to wait for the arrival of the next person facing challenges.
