This is a song of doubt. The narrator, possibly an entertainer, a singer, realizes "the joke's on us." She can no longer harness the initial passion that makes her sing the lyrics "sung at the top of our lungs desperately." Grace's lyrics are often opaque, even abstruse. But it's hard not to examine this song through the lens of the present, knowing of the identity hidden away at the time. By the end of the song, the then-Thomas Gabel is snarling the lyrics with cartoon monster ferocity. I love this band!
