Clown Lyrics in English Soprano

Step right up, but look a little closer - the bright stage lights are hiding a storm of emotion. In "Clown", Soprano lets us peek behind the circus curtain to meet an entertainer whose painted smile is melting into tears. He apologizes for not being funny tonight, yet the show must go on: the crowd craves upbeat rhythms, so he pulls on the ridiculous costume, buries his daily worries, and lets the playful la-la-las fill the room. The red nose becomes a powerful symbol of the masks we all wear, and every verse reminds us how easy it is to overlook someone’s pain when we just want to be amused.

The spotlight then turns toward us. As the clown wonders if anyone else feels trapped behind a permanent grin, the song quietly asks whether our own “costumes” fit or feel too big to carry. Catchy on the surface and bittersweet underneath, "Clown" is a reminder that loneliness can hide behind the brightest colors, and that real empathy begins when we dare to look past the makeup and share our true selves.
