Circus
showmore Lyrics

The lyrics of Showmore's song "Circus" speak to the struggles of life and the uncertainty of the future. The song starts by acknowledging that the singer and the people around him are all uncertain about where life will take them, but they're all trying to balance on a tightrope without knowing how long it will last. They all wish they could approach life like a playful clown, but the fear of falling and failing is too entrenched in their being, making it hard to embrace the moment.

When they encounter people who reassure them that everything will be fine because there's a safety net (a trampoline) to catch them, it provides temporary relief, and they embrace the moment, dissolving their pain and fears with alcohol. The song suggests that people distract themselves from the fear of failure and the uncertainty of life with brief moments of pleasure and companionship, holding onto the hope that it will all be okay in the end. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus, with the singer holding onto their loved ones, unable to say yes to the SOS signals they are receiving, hoping to be strong enough to brave the unknown.
