Inevitable
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m sorry.
You lost.
Emma,
I'm sorry.
You lost your way.
What if I told you I made it
And this is the life that I chose?
Do you believe in ghosts?
What if told you a Story
And settled all the dust?
I′m still the man you trust.
It's inevitable for us.
No! Get away from me! You're not Paul, you′re one of them!
Before, I had no ambition.
But now my life is a song.
Don′t you want to see me happy?
Is it so tragically wrong?
What if the only choice is
You have to sing to survive?
We must go on with the show.
It's inevitable
To know what I want now.
(Know what you want now.)
Emma, I want you to join the party.
Are you going to tip me?
(Get your cup of coffee!)
Look at the fun we′re having already.
(What?)
I found the calling.
You can do the same now.
And you're playing the game now.
It′s all there is and all there ever was.
Emma!
Let me puke in your mouth
And just open your food bin, girl.
And you can join the hive.
Then show me your hands!
Show me those jazz hands!
Get em' up or you′re shit outta luck!
Show me your hands!
Show me those jazz hands!
Or I might be inclined
To plant my seed!
The hive needs to feed!
Happiness is guaranteed!
If you just give us one last
Show-stopping number!
With Emma front in center!
A kick line is inevitable!
What if I told you a story;
How the world became peaceful and just?
It was inevitable!
Inevitable!
(Inevitable!)
The apotheosis is upon us!
The song "Inevitable" by The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast is a song that portrays how people can succumb to societal pressure and conformity. The lyrics depict a character named Emma, who seems to have lost her way and been taken in by a group that wants her to comply with their beliefs and practices.
The song starts with the singer apologizing to Emma and telling her that she has lost her way. He asks her if she would believe him if he told her that this is the life he chose. The song then progresses to a group trying to make Emma conform to their way of life. They sing that singing is the only way to survive and that they must go on with the show. The group wants Emma to join in their party and says that it's all there ever was.
The lyrics then turn dark as a member of the group tries to force himself on Emma, and they threaten her with violence if she doesn't comply. The song ends with a plea for Emma to perform one last show-stopping number. The chorus reiterates that everything that is happening is inevitable.
The underlying theme of the song is that people can easily lose themselves and become part of a collective that can harm them. It touches on the fact that societal pressure can push people to do things they may not want to or agree with, and that it's an inevitable part of life.
