t.A.T.u. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All this weeping in the air
I can tell were about to fall through floating forests in the air
Across the rolling open sea
Now I kiss and run through air, leave the past find nowhere
Floating forests in the air clowns all around you
Clowns all around you its a cross I need to bear
All this black and cruel is fair, this is an emergency
Don't you hide your eyes from me, open them and see me now
Can you see me now? Can you see? Can you see me now?
Can you see? Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see me now? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see clowns all around you
Can you see? Can you see?
Can you see? Can you see me now?
Floating, floating, floating, floating
See me here in the air not holding on to anywhere
But holding on so beware I have secrets I won't share
See me here wishing you if I don't deny I do contemplate our wish away
If I ask you not to stay, clowns are here to let you know where you let your senses go
Clowns all around you it's a cross I need to bare
All this black and cruel is fair
This is an emergency don't you hide your eyes from me
Open them and see me now
Can you see me now? Can you see me now? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see?
The lyrics to t.A.T.u.'s song "Clowns" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a melancholic reflection on the state of the world, specifically the loss of innocence and the prevalence of lies and deception. The repeated question, "Can you see me now?" could symbolize the desire to be seen for who one truly is, without the masks and facades we often wear to protect ourselves. The reference to "floating forests in the air" and the "rolling open sea" could be a metaphor for the uncertainty and unpredictability of life.
The clowns mentioned in the lyrics could represent the distractions and illusions that keep us from facing reality. They are "here to let you know where you let your senses go," reminding us of the importance of staying grounded and aware. The line "this is an emergency" suggests a sense of urgency and the need to act quickly before it's too late.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a world that is dark and unsettling, but there is still hope for redemption and connection if we are willing to open our eyes and see things as they truly are.
