| Placebo – Pierrot The Clown Lyrics | 10 years ago |

this song is definately about an abusive relationship. "Leave me dreaming on the bed See you right back here tomorrow For the next round." > After an encounter with the abusive partner, the writer is left alone dreaming about an alternate world where things go smoothly / romantically but they know that when the next day rolls around things will be the same "Keep this scene inside your head As the bruises turn to yellow The swelling goes down." > After traumatic events, the scene tends to replay in one's mind even after the swelling & injuries stop hurting. "And if you're ever around In the city or the suburbs Of this town Be sure to come around I'll be wallowing in sorrow Wearing a frown Like Pierrot the clown." > If you're around, stop by. I know how it'll end, but I'm so lonely that I'll invite you in with open arms. "Saw you crashing around the bay Never seen you act so shallow Or look so brown." > I'm not too sure on this verse but it could potentially be something along the lines of the writer's abuser finally struggling with something, and acting like it's the biggest thing in the world and not knowing how to handle it because they've never dealt with anything potentially harmful - shallow. ? "Remember all the thing's you'd say How your promises rang hollow As you threw me into the ground." > I remember all the kind promises you made to me when this started, but it's evident now that they're all lies now that all you do it hurt me. "When I dream , I dream your lips When I dream , I dream your kiss When I dream , I dream your fists Your fists, your fists." > I dream about you, about what I wish we were and what you actually are. |

I actually think this song is about a barely-legal, manipulative relationship between the writer and a much older man or maybe woman that ultimately mentally fucked them up "Remember me when you're the one who's silver screen Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed" > remember what you did to me & what you turned me into when everyone loves you & you finally love yourself "Remember me when everyone's noses start to bleed" > remember me when you see the ugly things in life, and think of how 'ugly' you have made me by hurting me "Remember me, special needs" > remember me, the one you called 'special' and made feel like they were different "Just 19 and sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavor" > now just barely legal & now open for older creeps / predators to sleep with, so desperate to show everyone they're older now & decides sleeping with someone older will show everyone they're mature "Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behavior" > shows that they had already been suspended from something for trying to do things that would set them apart from the others & make them seem more mature "Remember me when you clwnch your movie deal And think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels" > remember what you did to me when you're finally get what you want > think of how i'm ruined & mentally fucked because of what you manipulated me into doing; chair w four wheels perhaps implies they are hospitialised for an attempt caused by the trauma of the event "Remember me through flash photography and screams Remember me, special dreams" > remember me when you're big & famous, remeber me, the kid who always wanted to be more than they really were - rhodes |
