Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go to HEAVEN!

盗んだ小銭をかきあつめて夢行き列車の
片道切符を買うのさ Honey bee

太ったサーカス魔術師とコオロギのガイコツが
夢の世界へ招待さ Honey bee

Come on, come on 迷うことはないのさ
Come on, come on 魔法のミュージカル
Come on, come on のぞいてみたいのなら
Come on, come on 運命を売り渡せ

今宵やつれたピエロの君が
裸で踊るショー・タイム
おとぎ話にくるい咲け Honey bee

Come on, come on 迷うことはないのさ
Come on, come on 魔法のミュージカル
Come on, come on のぞいてみたいのなら
Come on, come on 運命を売り渡せ

今宵やつれたピエロの君が
裸で踊るショー・タイム
おとぎ話にくるい咲け Honey bee

カーテン・コールが鳴り響いて二度と幕はおりない
おとぎ話にはめられたのさ Honey bee

おとぎ話にはめられたのさ Honey bee
おとぎ話にはめられたのさ Honey bee

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RED WARRIORS' song Dance Macabre tell a story of a fantastical journey taken by the singer to escape the monotony of daily life. The singer collects stolen coins to purchase a one-way ticket on a dream train to a world of magic and wonder, where they are welcomed by a fat circus magician and a cricket skeleton. The chorus of the song encourages the listener to come along and abandon their doubts, selling their fate to discover a world of enchantment.

The final verse of the song describes a naked, exhausted clown dancing on stage, with the audience urged to immerse themselves in the fairy tale world and bloom like a honey bee. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has become entrapped in this world and unable to return to reality, having been lured into this fairytale existence.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a yearning for an escape from reality and the mundane, and promote the idea of embracing the unknown and magical.
