Bryan Scary Song of the Day

I love being Autistic. SO I'M GONNA START DOING THIS. 

Todays BSSotD is You Might be Caught in Tarantella!

Lyrics: 

Waking in a foreign land
Your train arrives. So this is where the eagle flies
A little shop on Sulfur Street
Window Flowers - so neat
You can hardly blink your eyes. So you take 'em
To the back room
Where sitting and knitting is
Mrs. Lotus, your wife in Act Two
She understands you've just got into town!
So "settle down, and wait a while, and let me take the load off."
Ever exciting - look alive - her grip is tightening...
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
I hope you brought your new umbrella
30 years go floating by
Your growing old - she fit you in her special mold
The world has turned another screw
Look in the mirror - that's you!
In the interest of time it's apparent
You've been cheated
The flowers are wilting and
All the cake's already eaten
Something bad is stirring in the sky
So don't ask why - just grab your things and try to make a run. For
It is so frightening. She's got her fingers in the lightening...
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
You Might Be Caught In Tarantella!
Good thing you brought that old umbrella
Sitting in the window as the world goes passing by
This is your return to a life you put aside
You had everything you wanted, you were young and so alive
It all becomes a lonely lullaby
Can it be you're dreaming? You're never never leaving town?
Or maybe this IS heaven? Or else...you're going down
There are faces in the shadows, there are echoes on the tide

It all becomes a lonely lullaby 

This is a very lively song!! It's very cheery up until the line "Sitting in the window as the world goes passing by" which is where it gets more somber. Tarantella is actually a traditional group of Italian dances! It's known for being very fast paced, usually in 6/8 time or 12/8, which adds some neat context to the song^__^

It frames the main characters life as a fast-paced dance that they can't escape. It shows the facade of a brief stay in a new town and as the song continues our protagonist realizes that they've wasted thirty years trapped here, caught in a never-ending dance with this Mrs. Lotus mentioned in the beginning of the song. 

You Might be Caught in Tarantella is from the Daffy's Elixir album released in 2012. It's track #7
