The Big Sleep Lyrics
How can it be the last show?
(How can it be?)
How can it be the last show?
(How can it be?)
No more spotlights
Coming down from Heaven
It's a goodbye
It's curtains down time
Not even out of my dress
And already my voice is fading
Goodbye my dears
And into the big sleep...
(How can it be?)
How can it be the last show?
(How can it be?)
No more spotlights
Coming down from Heaven
It's a goodbye
It's curtains down time
Not even out of my dress
And already my voice is fading
Goodbye my dears
And into the big sleep...

This is the death of pearl.
The song is Pearl’s finale. “The curtain's coming down, she’s going to take her millions of sleeping pills and finally enter nothingness,” says Khan. “She had to subside. The aware side of me woke up, and the more I woke up, the more Pearl fell asleep.”

So mournful and beautiful... It's about death, the metaphor of a show ending... So smart, and heart-wrenching.
The Show's Over I know this song is about death, but somehow I just can't picture it that way. Something is ending, something glorious and bright, and you descend into sleepy darkness.
very poignant..heart wrenching really..i bade my gf goodbye tonite at 2 am. She just left for a 3 months trip ,& i know it wont be the same when she comes back..its afternoon..& i m sucked in a void,asking the same question.
The whole sleeping pills and sleep suggestion, might not necessary allude to death, but a state in which the character can be brought back to Natasha. I mean, she had to bring Pearl back for the album, so it makes you wonder, is she actually dead?
