The Show Must Go On
Studio Sound Group Lyrics

Empty spaces, what are we living for
What is the purpose of our existence in a seemingly unfulfilled world

Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
We understand the reality of our surroundings, in which many have given up or disappeared

On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
The search for our true purpose seems never-ending and fruitless

Another hero, another mindless crime
Yet another tragedy in a world where misguided idols and serious issues collide

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
The facade of our lives, much like a theatrical production, is often a cover for what is really going on behind the scenes

Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
Is anyone willing to continue fighting for a world that seems hopeless and exhausting?

The show must go on
Regardless of the challenges and difficulties we face, we must keep moving forward

The show must go on, yeah
This is a repeated statement of defiance, reminding us that we must persevere even when we feel like giving up

Inside my heart is breaking
Despite the determined exterior, the artist is struggling emotionally on the inside

My make-up may be flaking
The resilience portrayed by the artist is beginning to wear thin

But my smile still stays on
The public face must continue, regardless of the personal turmoil within

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
No matter the obstacles, the artist is resigned to fate and the unknown

Another heartache, another failed romance
A common experience of pain and disappointment in love

I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning)
The repeated declaration hints at a painful lesson that has been internalized

I must be warmer now
The singer is striving for a deeper emotional connection with others

I'll soon be turning (turning turning turning)
Change is coming, and the artist is hopeful for the transition

Round the corner now
The artist feels that positive change is imminent

Outside the dawn is breaking
The world is refreshed and new possibilities are emerging

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
Despite the nascent hope, the singer is still tormented by their internal struggles

Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
This line is a repeated reinforcement of inner turmoil and emotional pain

My make-up may be flaking
The public mask of resilience is slipping further

But my smile still stays on
The artist will still perform, despite the difficulties they face

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
The image evokes a sense of inner beauty and fragility

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
The stories of hope and optimism from the past still provide inspiration, even though they may seem irrelevant or unrealistic in the present

I can fly, my friends
The singer is confident in their ability to overcome hardship and rise above it

I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
The singer is determined to succeed, even if it means going to extremes or exhausting themselves in the process

I have to find the will to carry on
Despite everything, the singer is resolute in their determination to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult it becomes

On with the show
This final statement is an affirmation of the need to keep pushing onward, no matter the obstacles or challenges that arise.
