Joker and the Thief
Reece Mastin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said the joker is a wanted man,
He makes his way all across the land,
See him sifting through the sand,
So I'll tell you all the story,
'Bout the joker and the thief of the night,
Always living in the final hour,
There is always sweet in sour,
So we, are not, goin' home,
Can you see the joker flyin' over,
As she's standing in the field of clover,
Watching out everyday?
I wonder what would happen if he took her away?
What you see well you might not know,
You get the feelin' comin' after the glow,
The vagabond is moving slow,
So I'll tell you all the story,
'Bout the joker and the thief of the night,
All the people that he see in the night,
Hold their dreams up into the light,
The Wildebeest is setting her sights,
And we, are not, goin' home,
Can you see the joker flying over,
As she's standing in the field of clover,
Watching out everyday?
I wonder what would happen if he took her away?
I said the joker is a wanted man,
He makes his way all across the land,
See him sifting through the sand,
So I'll tell you all the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,
I said, I told you all the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,
I said, I told you all the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, of the
Night
The song "Joker and the Thief" by Australian singer Reece Mastin tells the story of a mischievous joker who is always on the move, causing trouble wherever he goes. He is accompanied by a thief who operates at night, stealing from the people he encounters. Together, they create chaos and leave a trail of destruction in their wake.
The joker is described as a wanted man, constantly on the run, moving from place to place, and sifting through the sand to remain hidden. However, he's always laughing and making light of his situation, even in the face of power, and always living in the final hour. The singer suggests that there is always a balance between good and evil, sweet and sour, and the characters in this story represent this balance.
The song has an ominous tone, and the lyrics are full of metaphorical language that adds to the enigmatic atmosphere. The joker may represent chaos or unpredictability, while the thief may symbolize deceit or darkness. The singer implies that these forces are inherent in every person and that they can never truly be eradicated.
