On With The Show
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some say it was suicide,
But we know
How the story goes.
With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time,
All their dreams would come true.
But ya see, Frankie was fast,
Too fast to know.
He wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose.
And she knows
He'll finally come too close.
[Chorus: x2]
Well, on with the show.
Going on with the show.
Come on baby
No, no, no.
Oh my, my, my
He was bad.
He was never good.
But one thing that he understood.
And she knew
All those lies would come true.
The time has come and
He's paid his dues.
Suzy finally got the news.
She always knew
This day would come soon.
[Chorus: x2]
He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife.
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life.
And she knew
She'd have to pull through.
Broken down, with his broken dreams,
With a wink of an eye
Said "Suzy, listen to me
You must go
On with the show."
[Chorus: x2]
Oh baby!
The song "On With The Show" by Useless ID tells the story of Frankie, a young musician who died mysteriously, with some claiming it was suicide. Despite his tragic end, the song acknowledges his talent and street smarts, portraying him as a man ahead of his time who knew how to make his dreams come true. However, Frankie's faster-paced life ultimately led to his demise, leaving his girlfriend Susie to grieve and move on with the show.
The lyrics suggest that Frankie lived recklessly and on the edge, but he also had a deep understanding of the music industry and the power of lies and ambition. The song implies that Susie was aware of the risks and dangers of Frankie's lifestyle, and that his death was a long-feared eventuality that she was prepared for. Nevertheless, it is clear that she loved him deeply, and the song celebrates his memory and encourages her to keep going despite his absence.
