Cirque
Sub-Urbane Lyrics

Hear her talkin' 'bout that mainstream
The girl is discussing mainstream music.

Got it, real easy like she got the callback
She understands the concept of mainstream music very well.

Droppin' underneath that eave breeze
She is trying to be suggestive and flirtatious.

Wanna watch her knees weak when they pass my name back
She wants people to know her name and be impressed by it.

You know you sound cocky as fuck
Someone is calling the artist out for their arrogance.

But go and try good fuckin' luck
The singer suggests that the other person try to do better.

So if you ask to come and see me
If someone wants to meet the singer, they need to behave respectfully.

Show some fuckin' dignity
Being respectful means showing dignity.

Don't tell me how to live life
The artist wants to make their own decisions and not be told what to do.

And I make it go (boom), back at it again
The artist is confident in their musical ability.

Don't need to be in love to have a little romance
The singer enjoys creating romantic music without being in love themselves.

Sing it on the spot to watch the crowd dance
The artist enjoys performing live and getting a positive reaction from the audience.

And even if they're petrified, I hear their hearts prance
The singer can feel the energy of the audience, even if they seem scared or nervous.

And I can be free from raw tyranny
The singer feels liberated when creating music.

Man, fuck my emotions, they're ghostin'
The singer doesn't want their emotions to hold them back.

And moanin' all day on repeat (woo)
The artist is tired of their own negative thoughts and wants to move on from them.

We can fall in love or we can go insane
The artist is suggesting that both love and madness have their own appeal.

We can play it rough or we can we can play it safe
The singer is saying that people can take risks or be cautious in relationships.

Don't matter what's above, our destinies are made
The singer believes that fate determines the future.

Why give us fuckin' lemons if I can just buy lemonade
The artist believes that they can turn a negative situation into a positive one.

Round and around we go
Life is cyclical and unpredictable.

Round and around we go
The repetition of this line emphasizes the cyclical nature of life.
