There is a scene in many Hollywood films where someone, previously a failure, is applauded by a roomful of people. "Enduring tedium over real time in a confined space is what real courage is...the truth is that the heroism of your childhood entertainments was not true valor. It was theater. The grand gesture, the moment of choice, the mortal danger, the external foe, the climactic battle whose outcome resolves all- all designed to appear heroic, to excite and to gratify an audience...Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the world of reality...there is no audience. No one to applaud, to admire...actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one. No one queues up to see it. No one is interested.
lyrics
No applause
No excitement
No resolution
No comfort
No heroism
No moment of choice
No healing
No clapping scene
Just monotony
Just tedium
Just inertia
Just frustration
No dream
No journey
No growing
No confidence
No action
No insight
No lesson
No clapping scene
Just weakness
Just shame
Just indifference
Just failure
There is no audience
No climactic battle
There is no healing
There is no healing
No clapping scene
No clapping scene
No clapping scene
No clapping scene
