croaking frogs (sex)
barking dogs (response to emotions which drive the questions, "what" and/or "why")
laughing man (common response to understanding a mystery, similar to an expression of "ohhh" (now i see))
rock stars
movie stars
adoring fans
reflection ("doot doot")
fame is fleeting
"what's in a name?" (what is the value of popularity)
"face on a stage" (rock star at concert)
"where are you now?" (the fame was only temporary, do you realize it now?)
"memory fades, you take a bow" (after the popularity is over, even the memory of you/it ends. the bow is the last before the end)
"here in the dark" (in the theatre)
"watching the screen" (seeing famous movie stars)
"look at them fall" (end credits, names, movie stars fall from fame)
"the final scene" ("the end" is same for the movie and them)
"look at them fall" (the famous rock and movie stars, their time ends)
"flicker and fade" (slowly, like the end of a movie reel)
"gone are the screams" (no more adorning fans, no more popularity)
"i put them to bed, now they are dreams" (a once celebrity comes to terms w/ the end of fame and now fondly recalls the old days)
"and we go doot doot doot" (sounds, like croaking frogs and barking dogs, but in this case expressions by no-more celebs reflecting on the glory days of fame)
