Cover art for The Acrobat lyrics by jonathan rice

I don't think it's sad. It can be used as a metaphor this song, but i think it's better when interpreted literally. it's like a fairytale. In fact it makes a beautiful fairy tale.

just about the risk this acrobat takes and after and before each circus show he just imagines what would happen if he were to drop, maybe he even feels like sometimes he wants to drop- just cause he has the optin to be so high up, you know? his wife is his saving grace for the all the risks he takes in his life.
