“Circus Hop” is a song by YonKaGor, in which the artist uses the setting of a happy circus as a metaphor for taking one’s life.
From his own Twitter commentary, they describe that the theme of the song is “about [the A]sian school system (mostly indonesian) and how mental health isn’t taken serious...
It's a comical yet devastating universe
But it's still the kind of universe that I deserve
The lipstick on my face has bled into my skin
It should show a grin
Up from the sky, I won't want you to cry
So here's an act for everyone to sneer at
So, Sing along, it's such a silly song
The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops
The acrobat who's waiting at the top
Should do a Circus Hop
(Instrumental)
I shall now accept the fact that I'm a failure (You're a failure)
'Cause I'm still afraid the future might be scarier (It is scarier)
I'll slip while having fun and cut off my own tongue
They'll think I was dumb
Up from the sky, I won't want you to cry
So here's an act for everyone to sneer at
So, Sing along, it's such a silly song
The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops
The acrobat who's waiting at the top
Should do a Circus Hop
(Instrumental)
I've said goodbye, I don't want you to cry
So have a laugh with everyone but me
So, Sing along, it's such a silly song
The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops
The acrobat who fell down from the top
They did a little drop
So, Sing along, it's such a silly song
The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops
The acrobat who's waiting at the top
Should do a circus hop
