The Show Must Go On
Bracia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -




On with the show -
The show must go on...

Overall Meaning

"The Show Must Go On" by Bracia is a powerful anthem expressing the artist's determination to keep performing, despite the hardships and uncertainty they face in life. The opening lines "Empty spaces - what are we living for" and "Abandoned places - I guess we know the score" convey a sense of desolation and loneliness, as if the artist is searching for meaning in a world that has lost its purpose. The repetition of the phrase "on and on, does anybody know what we are looking for" suggests a sense of frustration and helplessness, as they see no clear answers or solutions to the problems they face.


The artist goes on to describe the various challenges they have encountered, including heartache and failed romance. They acknowledge their pain and vulnerability, admitting that their heart is breaking and their makeup may be flaking, but they refuse to give up. The chorus "the show must go on" is a powerful declaration of their determination to persevere, no matter what obstacles they face. They acknowledge the darkness they feel inside, but express a desire to be free and continue to fly, like the wings of butterflies.


The song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to lift us up, even in our darkest moments. It has become an iconic anthem of perseverance and determination, inspiring countless artists and audiences around the world.
