about

A song about the sensation of walking away from something you thought was golden, and realizing that most of it was a lie. And everyone but you knew it. Everyone but yourself saw you as the fool you where, prancing around like you were the golden boy when in reality you were up to your neck in shit. The sensation of humiliation is devastating.

Built on top of a tight 6/8 bass riff, the track unfolds in weird directions with screaming guitars and thumping rhythm.

lyrics

Whaddaya know, it's all a show
The curtain's coming down
The hero's dead, the villain's fled
The actors take their bows

The painted smile begins to die
as you begin to see
That you've been playing masquerades
While others fought for real

The wind without, the dark within
The stagedoor slamming shut
For all bright lights have died tonight
As you walk away from love

Still you hear the jingling bells
but can't see where they're at
For on your head there still remains
A broken jester's cap

A tragedy to some, a comedy to others
How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown
The punters laugh, the punters scream
Bring on the clowns
But I can see your face from here
Someone save the clown
save the clown

You can't go back, you can't stay here
the laughter's still too real
You wipe away your makeup and
destroy all that you've been

For those who laughed shall laugh no more
the show is over now
And he who laughs the last shall walk
away from this unbowed

A tragedy to some, a comedy to others
How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown
The punters laugh, the punters scream
Bring on the clowns
But I can see your face from here
Someone save the clown
save the clown

Stoner rock/metal with a classic rock filter with intelligence. Great song and timing structures, heavy, big catchy riffs. Vocals are in the level. This album definitely has more of an edge compared to their follow-up album, but it's not even fair to compare one album with another of the same artist when they evolve. Can't go wrong at all picking either/or both albums up here on Ripple 💀💀💀 😵😵😵 ©ough©ool

2011? How have I missed this for so long? I love everything about this. Either more bands should play doomed out thrash, or these guys need to make way more music. The Goon

How did I miss this?! This is the best stoner rock I've heard all year! It's not often that I'll buy an album after just listening to the first two minutes of the opening track. I can't pick a favourite track they're all so damn good! The riff is strong with this one, ladies and gentlemen. Stoner Vibrations
