サーカス
谷山浩子 Lyrics

The lyrics to 谷山浩子's song サーカス depict a a person coming back to their room after their partner has left. They see a messy room filled with ash and playing cards left on the table. The person apologizes to their partner for not being able to understand their feelings and how there is someone else who is waiting for them. They offer tea and alcohol, and ask if they want to listen to some records. The person paints a picture of a lonely night filled with silence with themselves being surrounded by dolls, shattered hearts, and a one-person circus. The lyrics convey the idea of loneliness, longing, and a need to escape from reality.

The lyrics suggest that the person is struggling to deal with the absence of their partner and how it has made them feel disconnected from everything else around them. The dolls, hearts, and circus symbolize their desire to escape and find solace in something that is not a part of the real world. They want to forget their loneliness and feel something different, even if it's for a short time. The lyrics suggest that the person is trying to cope with their feelings of isolation and the things around them are a reflection of their emotional state.
