THREE DOG NIGHT

- The Show Must Go On Lyrics

Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's strangling me now
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car
They're all laughing at the lie

Oh, I've been used ohh
I've been a fool oh, what a fool
I broke all the rules oh, yeah
But I must let the show go on

Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people
They're all after my blood
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theater
Let me out, let me out

Oh, I'm so blind oh, I'm blind
I wasted time wasted, wasted, wasted time
Walking on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go on

Oh, I'm so blind oh, I'm blind
I wasted time wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walking on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go on

Baby, I wish you'd help me escape
Help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade

'Cause I've been blind oh, so blind
I wasted time wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walking on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go
I must let the show go
I must let the show go on

What is the meaning behind The Show Must Go On lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Three Dog Night's 'The Show Must Go On' is a musical depiction of an individual's trials who feels locked in a life of their own making, replete with consumerism and condemnation. The text conveys the yearning to be liberated from the pressures and the expectations, theater being the symbol of such release, and to escape the mask party, thus underlining the people's necessity to continue even though they are feeling beaten and blinded by the conditions. The show must go on lyrics mainly highlight despair, angst, solitude, and reflection, plus the wish for freedom. The song at the same time emphasizes the necessity of loneliness and isolation, struggle for freedom, and self-reflection that is often accompanied by regret. The lyrics portray the motifs of isolation and emotional hardship, which, in the view of some, might not be appropriate for less than 10 years old children unless there is a parent or an adult present. Yet, due to the absence of any explicit mention of violence, sex, or drug use, the song remains within the limits of a PG rating.
