The Show Must Go On
Gregory Lemarchal & Alexia 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.
