We Are the Music
Grafton Primary Lyrics

Does anybody know what this song is about
The songwriter is lost and confused about the meaning of the song and wants someone to explain it to them

Can you tell me?
The songwriter is asking for help understanding the song

I'm fresh out of ideas but I'll buy whatever lies you can sell me
The songwriter is willing to believe anything they are told about the song because they don't know what it means

Would anybody like to describe the inside of my mind at this time?
The songwriter is open to having someone enter their mind to try and understand the song they are creating

I invite you
The songwriter is welcoming others to help them understand their thoughts

But be prepared to be ensnared within my lair if you enter there
Entering the songwriter's thoughts and creative process may be challenging, as they are complex and layered

So you'd best beware
The songwriter warns that understanding their creative process may not be easy

The gentleman in the back with the pack of cigarettes
A man smoking in the background

Is smoking rings around me
While the songwriter is trying to create music, the man smoking is unconcerned

The gentle lady with the curls
A woman with curly hair

Turns my simple words to precious pearls
The woman is able to take the songwriter's words and elevate them to something more valuable and profound

I wish them love, more than cancer
The songwriter wishes the man and woman love and happiness

Crazy dancer with romance & flame
A person dancing passionately and with emotion

Just the same
Despite the passionate dancing, the songwriter still doesn't understand the meaning of their song

I wish they'd tell me what this song is about
The songwriter still wants someone to explain the meaning of the song

'Cause the game is over & I'm tired of playing
The songwriter is tired of trying to create the song without understanding its meaning

Dissected in the press what a mess of metaphors
The songwriter's words and the meaning of the song have been picked apart by critics, causing confusion

It's a meta-storm
The confusion and complexity of the song has created a storm of metaphorical language

Je t'adore
The songwriter loves the art of creating music, despite its difficulties

My pigeon hole is well defined on all side vy these troubadours
The songwriter is pigeonholed and defined by critics and others in the music industry

Chairmen of the board
Powerful people in the music industry who control and define what is popular

These snakes & ladder in the frame make a out of fame
The climb to fame in the music industry is full of challenges and obstacles

Double ones again!
The struggle to succeed in the music industry continues despite repeated attempts

But eye of snake is ancient I
Despite the challenges of the music industry, the songwriter has a deep appreciation for music history and tradition

& ancient I is not a fake- please speculate
The songwriter is genuine and sincere in their creation of music

We are the music we can't understand
The songwriter and musicians are part of the music they create, but cannot fully comprehend its meaning

Why you dance with your head when your body can't stand
The power of music can overcome physical limitations and allow people to keep dancing

You are the music where do you belong
The musician is a part of the music, but may not know their place or purpose within it

Can anybody tell me what to do with this song?
The songwriter is still unsure of the meaning and purpose of their music
