The Biggest Clown

Olivia Newton-John

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Everybody laughs at the clown when he falls down People just smile and clap their hands together I don’t have a big red nose or wear his funny clothes But everybody knows The biggest clown in all the world is me [Verse 2] Everybody knows how it feels when someone steals More that your heart could ever hope to treasure Since he left to go his wayI hear both night and day The things that people say The biggest clown in all the world is me [Chorus] I guess the show’s underway I hear the orchestra start to blare And it’s time for the clowns to open the show How it hurts when they cheer every crocodile tear They just don’t know [Verse 3] When there’s nothing left you can saveyou’ve got to be brave Walk with your head held high and looking forward It’s not working very wellas anyone can tell I guess I know as well The biggest clown in all the world is me [Chorus] I guess the show’s underway I hear the orchestra start to blare And it’s time for the clowns to open the show How it hurts when they cheer every crocodile tear They just don’t know [Chorus] I guess the show’s underway I hear the orchestra start to blare And it’s time for the clowns to open the show How it hurts when they cheer every crocodile tear They just don’t know

La chanson évoque la tristesse et la vulnérabilité cachées derrière le masque d'un clown. Elle parle de cette sensation universelle de se sentir dévalorisé ou incompris, alors que le monde continue à rire et à applaudir sans se rendre compte de la souffrance intérieure. C'est une métaphore sur le fait d'afficher un sourire et de jouer un rôle, même lorsque l'on traverse des épreuves personnelles. À travers des images de spectacle et de l'orchestre qui démarre, l'artiste souligne l'idée que, parfois, il faut avancer avec bravoure, même lorsque l'on se sent comme le plus grand des clowns, celui qui suscite les rires sans être vraiment vu. Cette tension entre l'apparence et la réalité est au cœur de cette chanson, nous rappelant que chacun a sa propre lutte, même derrière un visage souriant.
