The lyrics of Diztord's "Anything Goes" seems to be a commentary on our obsession with entertainment and the lengths people would go to entertain their audience. The opening lines, "watch me on tv, it's prime time tonight and I'm shining," suggests the desire to garner attention and fame through entertainment. The following lines, "I'll do it all, and it's alive, there's nothing that I wouldn't do to entertain YOU!" emphasizes the willingness to engage in any activity and push the limits to ensure audience engagement. It seems to imply that the person is willing to be a substitute for the audience's mundane life and their "twisted need."
The chorus, "Welcome to the freak show, welcome to your nightmare" indicates that the entertainment offered is unconventional and may offend some people. However, it remains attractive to those who seek to escape their everyday lives. The line, "your substitute for tonight, to project your love for me," implies that the audience is projecting onto the performer, and the performer is giving them what they want in return.
The lyrics of the song appear to be a social commentary on our obsession with entertainment and the willingness to go to great lengths to escape the mundanity of our everyday lives. The song appears to highlight the emptiness that fills the lives of many and how easily they turn to television and other forms of entertainment to fill the void.
