Parade
Vinai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all I ever got was you asking for more
Loosing all of me in a labyrinth of you
There's nothing that your smoke and your mirrors won't do
Woah-oh, woah
It's like you only love one half of me
When we fall I was straight on the phone
Take me places only where we're allowed
You only love me when the lights go out
I know that you're tryin' to hide away
But you find me dancin' on my own parade
So don't turn me down, show me that you love me
Don't turn me down, show me that you love me
I know that you're tryin' to hide away
But I'll be dancin' on my own parade
No rules in this love affair
But when it's time to play you don't act like you care
Said baby you're my only poor judges in me
But I seem to be a blank page in your diary
Woah-oh, find me dancin' on my own
Won't you find a way to show love
Woah-oh, find a way to show love
Take me places only where we're allowed
You only love me when the lights go out
I know that you're tryin' to hide away
But you find me dancin' on my own parade
So don't turn me down, show me that you love me
Don't turn me down, show me that you love me
I know that you're tryin' to hide away
But I'll be dancin' on my own parade
The lyrics to Vinai's song Parade seem to describe a relationship that is not going well. The singer opens up the song saying they gave the other person the keys to their door, but all they ever got was the other person asking for more. It appears the other person is quite needy and always wants something from them. The singer then says they are losing themselves in a labyrinth of the other person. The smoke and mirrors mentioned in the lyric is a reference to illusions or tricks, so it could mean that the other person is confusing or manipulating the singer.
The chorus of the song is quite catchy, and it is a way for the singer to express how they feel ignored or undervalued in the relationship. The other person only seems to care for them when they are alone and the lights are off. The singer seems to be saying that they are willing to be themselves and have their own parade, even if the other person doesn't show them love. They want the other person to show them love and not turn them down continually.
Overall, Parade seems to be a song about the emptiness of a relationship and how one person is constantly seeking validation from someone who doesn't seem to care much about them.

I gave you the keys to my door
I trusted you with access to my life
But all I ever got was you asking for more
You took advantage of my trust and kept asking for more
Loosing all of me in a labyrinth of you
I lost myself in the complicated maze of our relationship
There's nothing that your smoke and your mirrors won't do
You'll do anything to deceive me and hide the truth
It's like you only love one half of me
You only love the parts of me that benefit you
When we fall I was straight on the phone
When things were bad, I was always there for you
But you can't even say my name when we're alone
You don't show me any affection or appreciation, even in private
Take me places only where we're allowed
We can only express our love in certain approved locations
You only love me when the lights go out
Your love for me only seems to come alive in secret
I know that you're tryin' to hide away
You're trying to keep me in the dark about something
But you find me dancin' on my own parade
I'm happy to celebrate my own life, even if you're not involved
So don't turn me down, show me that you love me
Allow yourself to show affection and care for me
No rules in this love affair
We have an unorthodox and unconventional relationship
But when it's time to play you don't act like you care
You don't seem to take our relationship seriously or show any real affection
Said baby you're my only poor judges in me
You rely on me to be your only confidant and support
But I seem to be a blank page in your diary
You don't seem to share much with me or involve me in your life
Won't you find a way to show love
Please find a way to demonstrate your love and care for me
But I'll be dancin' on my own parade
I'm okay being independent and celebrating my own life, even if you're not involved
