Rage Of Travers
Rage Of Travers: Musical Odyssey Through Unconventional Nights
Lyrics
Close the balcony and the rainbow
Shutting out the external beauty and joy because of someone else's directive.
Because the promoter says so
An authority figure dictates actions, disregarding personal preferences.
Aviators and a buckskin frontier hat
Describing the attire of individuals with distinct accessories evoking a bygone era.
How come they dress like that?
Questioning the choice of clothing and its relevance to the situation.
They break the news to me so gentle
Receiving distressing information in a delicate manner.
But I start to feel sentimental
Despite the gentle delivery, emotions of nostalgia start emerging.
This used to be the place to go
Reflecting on a place that used to hold significance.
Still draw pretty good in Ontario
Continuing to have success in another location despite changes.
Nobody wants to hear the twelve bar blues
A rejection of a particular musical style and presentation.
From a guy in platform shoes
Discomfort with an incongruous combination—style clashes with content.
Let's just have a good time when the show's done
Encouraging enjoyment after the performance, seeking alternate entertainment.
Ask where the good clubs are and go find one
Suggesting exploration for better-suited venues.
Roll up to the curb
Arriving at a destination.
Spill out of the car
Exiting the vehicle.
Everyone's dressed up like corpses
Observing others dressed unusually or solemnly.
I brought my guitar
Bringing a guitar to the scene.
Set it down by the stage
Placing the guitar in proximity to the performance area.
The singer's locked up in a steel cage
Noticing the performer's confinement and inability to connect.
Shaking the bars
Describing the performer's frantic attempt to break free.
Eyes wild with fear
Expressing the performer's intense emotions of fear and panic.
I don't belong here
A feeling of not fitting into the environment.
Nobody wants to hear the twelve bar blues
Reiteration of rejection for a specific musical style.
From a guy in platform shoes
Reiterating discomfort with the mismatch between style and content.
