PARADE
Bracket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You show your love sarcastically
You're always so happy
Whenever we disagree
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
You stretch the truth until it breaks
You're always so happy
Whenever we disagree
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
Everyone's laughing
I never can tell why
Maybe I should laugh along
My head says live for yesterday
My heart says let it drift away
You're always so happy
Whenever we disagree
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
In the song "Parade" by Bracket, the lyrics are a commentary on a toxic relationship where one person is constantly belittling and criticizing the other. The opening lines "You hang your clouds up over me, You show your love sarcastically" paint a picture of someone raining on the other person's parade. The sarcastic love spoken of is a type of emotional abuse that can make the other person feel small and insignificant. The constant disagreements cause the singer to question why the other person is trying to rain on their parade.
Despite this, the singer struggles to maintain a positive attitude, as seen in the lines "Everyone's laughing, I never can tell why. Maybe I should laugh along." The singer's struggle to keep a positive attitude is also demonstrated in the internal conflict between their head and their heart. While their head tells them to move on from the toxic relationship, their heart is attached to it, and they are unsure of how to navigate their emotions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Parade" shed light on the feelings of those in toxic relationships and the constant negative impact it has on the individual's life.
