Curtain Falls
Blue Lyrics

There's a time, there's a space for all, after the curtains fall
After the end of a performance, there will be a time and space for everyone involved.

On the stage every crime feeds rage, an audience will see it all
The audience will witness every mistake and transgression made on stage which could cause anger and displeasure.

They'll remember what you do
The audience will remember and take note of each action and decision made.

They can see what you've learned, every step every turn
The audience can observe the progress and development of the performer, including their successes and failures.

Every step that you take and every rule that you break
Each action taken and rule broken during the performance is duly noted by the audience.

And that's all why the curtain will fall
Once the show is over, everything that was observed will be further discussed and scrutinized in reviews.

Secret games they will all unfold, and then when the story's told
The hidden motives and agendas of the performers will eventually come to light.

(Kör) What were the story told
This line is repeated multiple times throughout the song, almost as a chorus, to emphasize the importance of the story as it is told in the performance.

All reviews shed their lights on you, regarding the story told
In the reviews of the performance, the story and the actors' portrayal of it will be the primary focus for criticism and feedback.

Illuminates the point of view
These reviews will highlight the different perspectives and opinions that were conveyed through the performance.

You can say what you want, you confirm or you don't
The choice of whether or not to speak your mind is yours to make.

All your actions can show, and then the audience will know
The audience can interpret your behavior during the performance to draw their own conclusions about your character and intentions.

All that I was, I'm leaving it so far behind
As the performer, one must discard their own personal history and experiences to fully inhabit a role on stage.

Just far enough for you just to make up your mind
The performer must create enough distance from their own past to allow the audience to form their own opinions without being biased by the performer's real-life history.

Hear your voice say you had no choice, it's only your own voice truth
If the performer chooses to speak up about their choices, they must be honest and take full responsibility for their actions and decisions.

Think on back on your distant past, look into your heart of youth
The performer must reflect on their past experiences and connect with their younger self to fully embody a character on stage.

Maybe that will change your mind
By reflecting on their past and connecting with their character, the performer may experience a change in perspective.

(You see what I do, you see what I don't
This line is sung in a conversational style, as if the performer is speaking directly to the audience about the difficulties of meeting their expectations.

And things that I do is not why you want me to
The performer acknowledges that their choices may not always align with the audience's expectations or desires.

But sometimes I do the things that you want
Despite this, there may be moments when the performer makes choices that please the audience.

But those things I do is not what I want to
Though they may fulfill the audience's desires, the performer may not always be satisfied with their own performance as they strive for authenticity in their role.

Then you can see what you've learned, every step every turn
After the performance, the performer can review and analyze their actions to learn and improve for future performances.

Every step that you took and every rule that you broke
Every decision made and boundary crossed is an opportunity for growth and learning as a performer.

And that's all why the curtain will fall
The end of the performance is a time for reflection and analysis, as both performer and audience prepare for the next show.
