Cover art for Acrobat lyrics by As Tall as Lions

this song obviously has nothing to do with the circus aside from the metaphor about being an acrobat. my take on it is that it's about this girl who thinks so little of herself that she throws herself around from guy to guy to make it feel like she's beautiful and wanted. this one guy obviously sees her for her real beauty that she herself doesn't see and doesn't understand why she does that to herself. again, this is just my take on it.
