Overall Meaning

Rob Fisher's Overture is a dramatic and powerful opening to a story of a dark nature. The lyrics spoken by what appears to be a ringmaster or narrator introduces the audience to the themes that will be explored in the upcoming production, such as murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery. These are all the things that we may hold dear to our hearts, but they are also the things that can lead to the downfall of humanity. The use of the trumpet at the end of the introduction is a clever way of preparing the audience for the show that is about to unfold, as it is commonly associated with fanfare and ceremony.


The lyrics are an insightful commentary on the darker aspects of human nature and how they can affect society as a whole. The singer is inviting the audience to witness a tale filled with these unsavory themes, implying that it is through understanding and confronting our worst tendencies that we can learn and grow as a society. The use of the word "treachery" is particularly interesting, as it suggests that those who engage in these behaviors can be seen as traitors to their own kind.
