The Show
Aion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back
Hold it
No no no rewind, yeah right there
Oh f**k it
(Chor)
Welcome to the show
I'll explain if your don't know
I'm your host
Your the guest
The game is the world
Excuse the mess
Question, who's responsible?
Answer, it's us
Question, What can we do
It's to late so stop the fuss.
All we do is look after number one
Until it happens nothing gets done
If we'd taken the time to take the time
We'd be in better shape
But what's the point
All we do is steal, kill and rape
Yeah right
That's got us far
Like a car without the wheels
No one seems to care
What the other person feels
Shout until your blue in the face
Scream from the loudest mic
It makes no difference
So we're all on the show tonight.
(Chor)
Welcome to the show
I'll explain if your don't know
I'm your host
Your the guest
The game is the world
Excuse the mess
Question, who's responsible?
Answer, it's us
Question, What can we do
It's to late so stop the fuss.
Break it down
Change the mood up in here
I'm still waiting for the day
When rush hour will be clear
Look around you
Open your eyes
Take a big breath of that air
If you knew what you were breathing
Yeah I think I you'd care
But we you don't
And that's my point
We just carry
No one's prepared to fight
So it makes no difference
We're all on the show tonight.
(Chor)
Welcome to the show
I'll explain if your don't know
I'm your host
Your the guest
The game is the world
Excuse the mess
Question, who's responsible?
Answer, it's us
Question, What can we do
It's to late so stop the fuss.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aion’s song “The Show” express disillusionment at the state of the world and the actions of humanity. The chorus welcomes the listener to the show and explains that the game is the world, but asks who is responsible for its condition. The answer is that it is up to us, but the question of what we can do is answered with “it’s too late so stop the fuss.” The verses describe a world where people only look after themselves and nothing gets done until it is too late. The song acknowledges that shouting and screaming will make no difference, and so we are all participating in the show tonight.


The song is a call to action for people to open their eyes and take responsibility for the world’s problems. The lyrics suggest that we are all part of the problem, and that it is only by recognizing this and taking action that we can hope to make positive changes. The line “If we’d taken the time to take the time” suggests that people need to slow down and pay attention to what is happening. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the suggestion that we are all just carrying on regardless, and no one is prepared to fight.

Answer, it's us

Question, What can we do
What actions should we take to make things better?


It's to late so stop the fuss.
It's too late to fix things so don't bother trying


All we do is look after number one
We only care about ourselves


Until it happens nothing gets done
We don't take action until something affects us directly


If we'd taken the time to take the time
If we had just slowed down and paid attention


We'd be in better shape
Our world would be in a better state


But what's the point
There's no use in trying to make things better


All we do is steal, kill and rape
We commit crimes against each other


Yeah right
Sarcasm, disbelief


That's got us far
Our current behavior has not helped us make progress


Like a car without the wheels
We are incomplete and going nowhere


No one seems to care
No one is taking responsibility


What the other person feels
We don't take into account other people's emotions


Shout until your blue in the face
We try to get our point across, but no one listens


Scream from the loudest mic
We try to make ourselves heard, but still no one listens


It makes no difference
Our efforts are in vain


Break it down
Change the subject or mood


Change the mood up in here
Let's try to be more positive


I'm still waiting for the day
I still have hope for a better world


When rush hour will be clear
When life will be less chaotic and stressful


Look around you
Take a moment to observe your surroundings


Open your eyes
Pay attention


Take a big breath of that air
Breathe in the polluted air we've created


If you knew what you were breathing
If you were aware of the harmful substances in the air


Yeah I think I you'd care
You would be concerned about your own health


But we you don't
But we don't care enough to take action


And that's my point
That's what I'm trying to say


We just carry
We just continue with our lives without changing anything


No one's prepared to fight
No one is willing to take a stand and make changes


So it makes no difference
Nothing will change if we don't take action

Oj, daleką drogą tu doszedłem, więc skoro już jestem, to spytam: A gdzie Spotify? :) - czyżby AION aż tak zniknął?
