This Will Be Laughing Week
Embrace Joy: This Week, Let Laughter Triumph Over Tears
Lyrics
Step up to the stage, kids - and don't retreat
Encouragement to take action and face a situation boldly without backing down
from this Carnival of Volume
Describing a loud and energetic atmosphere akin to a carnival
I know that you're red-eyed and bloodshot-beat
Recognizing exhaustion or fatigue in someone, likely from stress or hard work
ya just can't lick that all day frown
Expressing the difficulty in shaking off a persistently gloomy mood
And now you're rollercoaster sick and drinkin' lemonade
Describing the feeling of being physically unwell due to a turbulent emotional state
Well, listen up!
A call to pay attention or focus on what follows
On Sunday the tears were fallin'
Depicting a sad or emotional state on a particular day
and trickling down your cheeks,
Illustrating tears streaming down someone's face
But yesterday's cares are no big deal
Implies that previous worries or concerns are now insignificant
Cause this will be laughing week
Anticipation of a joyful period ahead, expecting happiness and laughter
This will be laughing week
Reiteration of the expectation for a week filled with laughter
This will be laughing
Continuation of the sentiment expecting laughter
They won't let us in now cause we're all freaks
Feeling excluded or rejected due to being different or unconventional
So grab your magic cartoon costumes
Encouragement to embrace imaginative or playful elements to overcome rejection
And then clap your hands and just stomp your feet
Encouraging participation and enjoyment through physical expression
and let this medicine buzz on and on
Metaphorically referring to something (possibly music or a remedy) having a lasting effect
Like carousels in stereo, and don't jump off
Comparing an experience to a carousel ride, suggesting continuity without interruption
no, don't jump off
Emphasizing the need to stay engaged and not give up on the experience
On Sunday the tears were fallin'
Reiteration of a sad or emotional state on a specific day
and trickling down our cheeks
Portrayal of tears streaming down the faces of a collective group
But yesterday's cares are no big deal
Similar sentiment to line 10, suggesting previous concerns are insignificant
Cause this will be laughing week
Reassertion of the expectation for a joyful period ahead
This will be laughing week
Reiteration of the expectation for a week filled with laughter
This will be laughing week
Continuation of the sentiment expecting laughter
This will be laughing week
-and this will be laughing week
A final affirmation that the upcoming period will be filled with laughter
