Song Meaning of “Ruined by Clowns Like You” by Insult
Verse 1
Your words are like a dagger to my heart
So sharp that I can barely keep standing
You spit out your cruel and mean lies
Filling me up with pain and chains
Chorus
I’m ruined by clowns like you
The laughter and smile you wear a disguise
The false expression of joy that you use
To keep me from getting away from you
Verse 2
You make me feel like I’m drowning in sadness
Your façade a sickening fake amusement
The lies that you tell, they all sting
In trying to make me believe, your game you bring
Chorus
I’m ruined by clowns like you
The laughter and smile you wear a disguise
The false expression of joy that you use
To keep me from getting away from you
Bridge
You hide behind the mask of a clown
You think it’s cute, but I see you frown
Your lies are as deep as the ocean
And I can only face them alone
Chorus
I’m ruined by clowns like you
The laughter and smile you wear a disguise
The false expression of joy that you use
To keep me from getting away from you
