Show Must Go On
Grégory Lemarchal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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, yeah
Ooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Yeah oh oh oh
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on, yeah
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
Grégory Lemarchal's "The Show Must Go On" is a poignant song about resilience and the power of self-determination in the face of life's challenges. The lyrics capture the feelings of deep pain and vulnerability that often accompany these challenges, but they also speak to the courage required to move beyond them. The opening lines set the tone, emphasizing the emptiness and abandonment that many people experience in their lives. The singer asks whether anyone knows what we're all searching for, expressing a sense of confusion and aimlessness that is common to many.
The next few lines shift the tone somewhat, with the singer speaking of another "hero" falling to a "mindless crime." This could be interpreted as a reference to the tragic loss of Grégory Lemarchal himself, who passed away from cystic fibrosis when he was just 23 years old. The lyric "behind the curtain in the pantomime" is another reference to the illusory nature of life, suggesting that what we see on the surface is often not what is really happening underneath. The song then shifts back to its main theme, with the singer asserting that the show must go on no matter what. Despite the pain and difficulties he is experiencing, his smile remains steadfast and he will not give in.

@@user-bk2yh7fb2i, он родился с заболеванием, с которым живут максимум до зо лет. С больными лёгкими ему нельзя было петь, поэтому он даже до этого возраста не дожил. Вроде до 24х или 25ти лет только.

@@user-bk2yh7fb2i Давайте я немного уточню: пение при муковисцидозе (генетическая болезнь, с которой Грегори родился) не противопоказано, наоборот, есть мнение, что петь полезно для дыхательной системы людей с таким диагнозом. Другое дело, что петь настолько хорошо, уже имея острую легочную недостаточность той степени, которая была у Грегори – это поразительно, что отмечали сами врачи. Возможность петь прямо зависит от регулярности проведения необходимых физиотерапий и медикаментозного лечения, так что, вероятно, пение как раз мотивировало его на лечение, и не вредило ему.
Cредняя продолжительность жизни пациентов во Франции на момент его смерти составляла лишь 24 года, и он прожил почти столько. Его жизнь могла продлить только успешная пересадка легких, он был в листе ожидания на трансплантацию, но, как многие, не успел дождаться донорского органа. Его смерть стала шоком для французов, заполнивших за 2 месяца почти 2 годовых нормы донорских карточек и пожертвовавших миллионы евро для борьбы с заболеванием, о котором до того мало кто знал. Его родители учредили ассоциацию его имени, финансирующую исследования, оснащение больниц, лечение. Благодаря и их стараниям, срок ожидания донорского органа, например, вскоре значительно сократился. Сегодня появились принципиально новые препараты, очень дорогие, но обещающие радикально повысить качество и продолжительность жизни больных муковисцидозом. Но подобного лечения тогда, к сожалению, просто не существовало.
