"Ride of the Clown" is a track with a really unique vibe, featuring layered lyrics. It talks about feeling mentally and physically trapped in a toxic relationship. The lyrics depict someone who feels isolated and manipulated, as if they're stuck in a castle built by someone else. Despite trying to make sense of the situation, the protagonist ends up laughing to hide the tragedy. In the end, though, they cut the strings and regain their freedom, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The song highlights how these toxic relationships are cyclical and how hard it is to escape unresolved emotions.
LYRICS
Locked alone in my own castle
Made of sand and shaped by you, girl
Full of doubts and good intentions
Trying to make sense out of the Blue
You better watch me
You better watch me
Feeling down and somber I won't figure it out
So I laugh though it's all tragedy
“You should look inside yourself”, doctor said
So I cry like a clown, my comedy
You better watch me
You better watch me
I cut off the strings and your puppet I am no longer now
Gonna find my way no matter where no matter how
I cut off the strings and your puppet I am no longer now
Gonna find my way no matter where no matter how
Did you get it?
Just sit down and praise my ride!
We’ve been counting
Down the minutes to midnight!
My darling, you don't know yet
But in six months from now you will be calling me
Cause there is no future, there is no past
Nothing ever ends
It never really ends
