This song was originally posted on my old UA-cam channel on August 24th, 2010! I was 14 when I started writing it and 15 when I released the video (which is why you might hear those numbers thrown around) I don't have any plans to revise or remake this after all these years, but I appreciate everyone's support of my first ever serious attempt at a song!! I wrote a few others before this, but this was the first song I took seriously. The fact that even 12 years later people are still finding it and enjoying it is so surreal. Thank you! 💙
ive been listening to circus monster since i was in 7th grade. i'm in 11th grade now, it's honestly a huge part of my life, i listen to megurine luka a lot, specially when i'm travelling for out of town school competitions. thank u for making circus monster, i'll continue listening to it after all this time 😭 UR WORKS ARE AMAZINGGGGG
Just the thought that you wrote this at such a young age where you would be starting to learn how cruel the world can be, while having knowledge of mixing is pretty heckin’ crazy.
Hahaha... These lyrics are a little nihilistic, I must say. But a fourteen-year-old cannot be spared any innocence in this world, especially nowadays. I doubt that anyone can remain blissfully ignorant of the pain that goes on anymore, even if they're still a young age. It's rather amazing that Circus could make such a beautiful song with the knowledge of hatred, instead of doing something... Else. That's likely why he'll always be my favourite Vocaloid producer, without any exceptions.
P- yro *WAIT CIRCUS IS FOURTEEN* *BROOOOOOO* *IM OLDER THAN THAT AND I AM TRASH WHEN IT COMES TO COMPOSING, I'M JUST TRYINA GET PERMISSIONS TO REMIX HIS STUFF*
I think (though I have some other theory's) this is about social anxiety. by "act" she means going to a social social gathering. the "they all scream at me" is saying how everyone's voices sound amplified, "they cannot see" is about no one realising how stressed she is. it goes one to say that she can't find that one friend she came with who was lowering her anxiety and someone else approaches her seeing her distress but all she can say is that they aren't who she's looking for. she feels like she's acting like a fool and everyone is judging her and it feels like her own nightmare. "those two young lions" are people who she knew but not that well though when she was less stressed they were always fun now they just add to the anxiety, her legs buckle beneath her and she goes into a full on meltdown feeling worse and worse as it continues. also a bit on the picture, the horns show how she feels like she stands out a lot from everyone else.
İt makes sense,but i think there is a little schizophrenia (is it spelled like that) in the mix and the fact that she says "Lying so useless WE start to holler" signaling either there are other people like her in there,or the setting is a little different.What if instead of a social gathering they are at a monthly seminar for people with disorders and the tyrant is the head of the seminar and the person she is talking about is the previous head of the seminar that quit?And "Those two young lions" were her friends that were the only ones left in the seminar that also left after they no longer needed the seminar?
@@0E1M1 omg I played that in home ec (the original video) during my weird weeb phase for the whole class for a project. They definitely looked at me differently and i never really knew why and forgot about it till I learned the lyrics during a very intense suicidal episode.
The fastest I've ever 'sang' (forking terrible at it) was with a song called "Send me down to hell" by Nightcove_thefox.. (FNaF song lol) I need some practice...
Lyrics: Time is dead and gone, Show must go on. It's time for our act. They all scream at me, They can not see, This curtain hides me. An amazing gift, so quick and swift, you were amazing. by myself I can't, They start to chant Why are you not here? grinning at me, I lay on my knees, They want to hear me, why can not 'he' see. I want to see you. I need to see you. I have to see you. what happened to you? we get up on stage. they jump to enrage. Why are you not here? Why is 'he' so near? 'He' wants me to sing. I just can not bring... I say 'he's' not you. What else can I do? Singing it's silent song of misery, A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare. He is a tyrant. It lets out a plea. "Why did she have to leave it all alone?" Bound to sing for us, A worthless monster. It never sees us. It despises us. Lying so useless. We start to holler, "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!" I lay all alone, I should have known. You would have left me. 'He' smiles at me. I can not see why 'he's' in your place. They can't tell me why you said 'Good bye' right before our act. Those two young lions were always so fun. Why did they leave too? Roaring at me, I lay on my knees, What is happening? I can hear you sing. They will not obey, they've been lead astray. Will I still see you? I have to see you. I panic and flee. They both pounce on me. I fall to the ground. I can't hear a sound. I look up and see you are not with me. am I all alone? Where could you have gone? Singing it's silent song of misery, A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare. He is a tyrant. It lets out a plea. "Why did she have to leave it all alone?" Bound to sing for us, A worthless monster. It never sees us. It despises us. Lying so useless. We start to holler, "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!" Singing it's silent song of misery, A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare. He is a tyrant. It lets out a plea. "Why did she have to leave it all alone?" Bound to sing for us, A worthless monster. It never sees us. It despises us. Lying so useless. We start to holler, "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!" Singing my silent song of misery, This monster lies trapped in my own nightmare. He is a tyrant. I let out a plea. "Why did you have to leave me all alone?" Bound to sing for them, A worthless monster. I never sees them. I dispise them so. Lying so useless. they start to holler, "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!" Copied and paste from Google.
My theory for this song: A deformed girl was wandering the streets, she had been injured by the townsfolk and bleeding. A kind ringmaster found her bleeding on the sidewalk and took her in. The ringmaster stitched up the wounds (on her lower jaw) and left the poor girl to rest. The girl began to sing in her sleep, and the ringmaster realized her potential and invited the girl to join the circus when she awoke. The girl preformed and sang lovely songs for the audience, and began to have feelings towards the ringmaster, and the ringmaster felt the same connection, same desire to be together always. But one day, as the ringmaster was preparing the two lions for their act, they go wild and attack, and the ringmasters final moments were hearing the girl sing and wishing to be with her. One day, a new ringmaster, 'he', joins the circus, but cares only for money and entertaining the audience. He either sells or kills the disobedient lions, and forces the girl to sing through her tears and misery, and screams at her when she does not. The girl cries through her mournful song, as the audience boos the dismaying display.
My interpretation of the story. "Lie" was about how Luka did love Gumi but wasn't ready to say she was lesbian. But unlike Gumi she was ready to admit it "I(Love)" . Gumi loves Luka deeply but knows she won't admit to it. Luka starts dating a guy who abuses her in many ways "Circus Monster" and she starts to realize she did love Gumi. But Gumi had already committed suicide before Luka finds out. So Luka tries to figure out why she doesn't see Gumi anymore and that's why she says "why are you not here?" And "I want to see you I need to see you" (in "Circus Monster") because she wanted to see Gumi. But she was already gone. Which is what makes the depressing story.
My interpretation for this song is a tragic love story. Why? Here’s why down here. Having been abandoned by her birth parents due to being born with deformities (hence the horns & fangs), the young girl faces many hardships as she silently endures shunning, ridicule, & cruelty from people. Everyday she slowly loses hope until one day a savior finally comes to her aid. Who is the holy angel? Well, it is none other than a kindly circus trainer, who saw the deformed girl sitting on the desolate streets alone, starving & shivering like a leaf from the bitter winter cold . Genuinely concerned for her well being, he offers the lass some hot baguette bread & cheese then asks her, “Would you like to come with me to my circus?” As he offers a gloved hand to the deformed girl. From that day on things changed as the deformed lass began to travel with the kindly circus trainer & his circus troupe around the world, performing for the good people, along with slowly having a place that she could call her true home. All was good, that is, until one tragic day the trainer suddenly passed away from an incurable illness that he was diagnosed with a long time ago, leaving his circus troupe in mourning... Time passed like normal until one day a new circus trainer came along, but instead of treating the circus troupe with care & kindness, this man was nothing but corrupt, abusive (physically, verbally, emotionally & psychologically) & overall obsessed with money. Due to these horrid traits the trainer treated the troupe with immense cruelty & only used them for financial gain. Unable to endure the abuse any longer, along with clinging to hope that her kindly trainer will return, the deformed girl slowly dies for she can only pray that she can join her former trainer, even in death....
My personal theory about this song is that it's about an elephant. Hear me out now. For centuries, elephants have been part of circus acts. This particular elephant had a trainer that she loved very much, and who loved her back. One day, before her act, the trainer went to go check on two lions the circus also owned. 2:29 to 2:45 are sung from the trainer's POV as she is mauled by the lions, still thinking about her beloved elephant as she dies. The lions are put down by the circus or animal control. The elephant does not know this, and starts believe that her trainer abandoned her. Shortly after the first trainer dies, a new trainer is brought in by the circus. He doesn't care about the animals, and is very cruel and unkind to them, seeing them as "worthless monsters" and tools to make money. The elephant becomes increasingly depressed as the song goes on and she starts to become more and more convinced she was abandoned and the new trainer gets more and more abusive. It's not much of a stretch really, back when this song was made I remember hearing a lot about abuses of elephants in circuses, so maybe the creator based the song on those stories.
I think it's about the girl in the video. She has a job in the Circus, and she also has a crush. One day though, her crush doesn't appear and a new guy comes. She can tell something's wrong with him, something dark. The problem is that her and her crush both played a singing job. She doesn't know what to do without him, so she falls down on her knees. The people boo and scream at her madly, while the new guy watches her. Soon, after that's over she goes home and gets a call. It's from her crush. He says the new guy was at his house, this is at 2:17 . She is confused, however doesn't ask anymore. However soon the new guy becomes the boss somehow, and then starts abusing her. Her crush was also killed a few days ago by someone, and she keeps seeing his ghost everywhere. Soon, the boss orders her to do the lion job. The lions go crazy though, and it's clear that he abused them as well. The lions start to kill her, all while she's wondering where her crush went. She is murdered by the lions soon, but all she can hear are the people's screams and ''HEY! GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!'' That was a cruel name the people had given her because she couldn't do her job without her crush.
Actually, this is a pretty good theory/story behind the song. I believe (my personal story) that Vocaloids' were forced into the circus, where they must sing for their audience for as long as they live. Luka was partnered with another Vocaloid (Who I assume to be Gumi, Meiko, or Miku.) and fell in love with them. They are later killed or they escaped the circus. Luka soon becomes worried about her partner and turns to think she was left or abandoned by her. She is then introduced to a new partner who doesn't care about her, but would rather rise to fame and get riches, whether Luka is in on it or not. Slowly, Luka is overcome by depression and begins loses her ability to sing and perform for the crowd, who scream out at her *'Get up, you worthless Circus Monster!'* (She'd be useless, since a vocaloid's purpose is to sing, as stated in "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku") She slowly develops a hate or resentment toward the people of the crowd. The new, tyrant like partner, thinks that Luka is ugly/unpleasant to the crowd, so 'he' hides her away behind the curtain during performances. (To explain the 'I never see them, I despise them' part. Also, the picture could be of Luka sitting behind the curtain.) As a few other's have said, I believe the 'young lions' are Rin and Len, who were replaced/killed/escaped with Luka's old partner. They are replaced by new Vocaloids who poke fun and degrade Luka. One of the times that she is being picked on (right before her performance) by the new 'Lions' of the circus, she falls down and starts going unconscious. The new partner is angered by the fact Luka is not singing with him, and helping him with his money/fame, so he calls her a 'worthless circus monster' and the crowd later joins in.
OoOOOH, this ain't bad! Try scarlet rose, gigantiku otn (ignore contents DONT search up sub) , Re:birthed, and luvoratory, just some of the fast ones... Try it and don't end up in a hospital
When I listen to this it saddens me. It happens in the real world all the time. Worthless, a word used against many myself included. To be honest my own past has connections to this song. My two best friends were moved far from me. One of my friends tries to help but when she can't she "leaves me all alone" Bullied and called worthless. I try to speak but I'm stopped and even if I did no one listened. This song is a tale of many monsters but a tale of many more innocent people that are tagged as the monster
+Neocortexian Leader Of War Really? It happend almost the same way... But I was the one moving far from my friends. I was the only one in class, that was a GIRL that was been called "worthless" "monster" and many many more
my theory: if you don't know by now if a vocaloid becomes unpopular, hated or ignored the vocaloid has a chance to be replaced by another. I think this is what this song is about. She lost one of her friends by them being replaced with another, however, Luka was not aware therefore looking for him. Soon a new vocaloid comes along and 'he' tries to make a good impression so he can become popular in the vocaloid community. eventually Luka grows worried but that gets I the way of her singing and Len and Rin become replaced by another but try to make Luka replaced and fail. Gumi\Miku (idk who it was) comes in and replaces Luka, after Luka tries her best to stay, she fails and becomes replaced. we haven't seen English Luka since. (wow this was a long one)
Absolute nostalgia. I listened to this in the beginning of my obsession with ith vocaloid in the 6th grade. Coming back when I’m 23. Still hasn’t gotten old.
It's sad that people think this is a FNAF Sister Location song, even though Sister location came out in 2016/2017 and Circus Monster was uploaded in 2012.
Mandy Moo well no, it’s not. People just use it because they feel it relates to Sister Location in some way. Especially since Sister Location is basically based with Circus-like Characters and the story line of Sister Location somehow relates to this song in someway, I don’t know. I never played Sister Location or got into Fnaf very much lol
people are hype that how to pretend references to this (and why gumi is singing the adlib in the bridge) and they're theorizing that a lot of circus' songs link to each other
I'm agreeing with what Lynxie AJ said. I'm pretty sure people would know this info because this song was pretty popular way back when and still now in a way, and they just use it to be Sister Location like cause of the story line in it, and the lyrics here just give them SL vibes. In some ways I see it, other I don't, I get that to most, Baby is singing but that's about all I can even understand dmdhdkfmdj
Yeah, I kinda agree with Mandy Moo, but your comment makes me think about what happened to Lizz Robinette's (I probably spelt that wrong ;^;) English cover of Hide and Seek, it was sad what happened to it
Luka is one of the songstresses, but because of her most recent "Failed Rebirth," (She is constantly being born/reborn over and over and over) She has to be be blindfolded. Not only does she have the cursed horns, because her vision is also terrible. Her Father believes that by doing this it will "Rest Up" her eyes, so that in a dire situation, she will be able to harness the energy and see again. The songstresses are considered of great value. They aren't allowed to speak with anyone other then their fellow performers. One of these performers is Gumi, the Lion Tamer. Along with her beloved Lions*, Rin and Len. Gumi is Luka's "Right Hand." Each songstress is assigned one "Right Hand." Gumi was a former songstress. While she was almost done with her time, Luka was just starting. Gumi is one of the oldest performers in the Circus, she is also one of the few songstresses to complete her "Rebirthing" process and was granted immortality*. And the chance to leave the circus. However she decided to stay, and become Luka's "Right Hand" by choice. She had gotten acquainted with her back when they were both songstresses, and couldn't bare to leave her. In the Circus Monster song itself... Luka is mourning Gumi (First Verse-Second Verse) The reckless crowd at the circus is randomly singing about Luka's Life(Chorus) Luka's still morning Gumi (Third Verse) Gumi is explaining how her dear Lions turned on her and ate her face (Fourth Verse) The Crowd repeats itself (Chorus) Gumi shows that she is still with Luka, singing along in the song. Crowd repeats themselves AGAIN (Chorus) Luka repeats what the crowd was saying about her, however now in first person. She believes that she is now a "Worthless Circus Monster" (EndChorus)
+Violet Lucite (Midnight) Oh mah gerd. I just died. That was amazing, I could never have heard, and understood that in these lyrics. Thank you, now my Yuri shipping is complete ^ ^
Time is dead and gone Show must go on It's time for our act They all scream at me They cannot see This curtain hides me An amazing gift So quick and swift You were amazing By myself I can't They start to chant Why are you not here?

Well songs that use gumi or luka they usally make one of the 2 sound kawaii. Usally gumi but some songs luka is kawaii like this one and gumi is the mature one
There's so many interpretations of this song, but I honestly believe that this song has no correct meaning. It has whatever meaning you attach to it. (Other than what the creator intended)
This song is so powerful, I do almost cry everytime after hearing it, but the funny thing is, I don't 100% know/get the meaning behind the lyrics. It's that powerful I want to cry without knowing exactly what it's about. Could someone explain to me tho what the main story is behind the lyrics, I want to appreciate this song much more than I already do, I love it :,)
Rory Stock I think that in this song she has social anxiety and "he" left her her at a party and now she is have a mental break down in the middle of a party. but that's what I think.
Everyone else is sayin its about vocaloids and friend of luka's getting replaced, and she ends up getting replaced....or something. I'm nor familiar with the vocaloid community :/
I think I can solve this depressing mystery. I’ll start off with Luka’s song “Lie” It seems that Luka realized during a fake relationship with Gumi (Because of a dare by a friend or whatever) Gumi appeared to have strong feelings towards Luka, and Luka likes her back, but thing is, Luka is afraid of becoming a real intimate relationship with Gumi because she knows society will judge her with being a lesbian. So she decides to convince herself that she doesn’t have a crush on Gumi and force herself to like either Kaito or Gakupo. So she’s technically “Lying” to Gumi, Kaito or Gakupo, and herself. Onto the song “Love” by Gumi. This song explains that Gumi is aware of Luka’s lying and she’s trying not to let her lie to everyone. Gumi seems to really need Luka in her life so she can be happy. But Luka’s in a “relationship” with one of the past men I’ve already mentioned. And it drives Gumi insane. And the song above, “Circus Monster” by Luka. After all those months of Gumi being heart-broken by Luka, she reaches her breaking point and commits suicide. First she’s unaware of why Gumi ended her life but breaks up with you-know-who, after Gumi’s suicide, Rin and Len assumed it was Luka’s fault then thought less of her and they decided not to be friends with her, and her ex (“He”) tries to win her back. Later on, Luka realizes that she’s responsible of Gumi’s death. She defined herself as a monster.
I'm late but, adding on, there's the song 1/4 sung by Kaito, based after Luka breaks up with him. Kaito sings about how he actually loves Luka truly, but she merely used him as a tool for her status. When Luka sings "He is a tyrant, it lets out a plea", she is singing about Kaito, but what she means is that Kaito is not violently or sexually abusing her, but in fact seems like a tyrant because he wants her to love him back despite the fact that she knows she can't (like from the lines in 1/4, "Are you not feeling this, feeling this, feeling the same?") Also, Luka from Circus Monster (with her horns) made a cameo in the song "The Start" sung by Meiko, along with a cameo of Miku from the song "Goodbye", so we the Circus-P fans are trying to figure out if Goodbye and The Start are related to this series (Lie, I (Love), Circus Monster and 1/4)
i feel like since vocaloid is mostly from years ago, its all being forgotten and the group of fans is getting smaller and smaller :< I really want creators to start making songs again to try and save it
What if this story isn't about a monster and trainer? What if it's about the love story between two monsters? These two monsters loved each other. They would play, tell jokes, sing private duets together, and so on. One of the workers eventually got tired of all the noise they made and separated them. The monsters are not happy with their trainers, hence the lines "I want to see, I need to see you, I have to see you, what happened to you?" And "Why is "he", so near" As well as "I say "he's not you", what else can I do?" And "I cannot see why he's in your place," After a while, the monsters start finally paying attention to what the people are saying about them "Singing it's silent song of misery" "He is a tyrant" "Why did she have to leave it all alone?" "HEY GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!" after a while of hearing it, they eventually believe it. (At the end when all the quotes are repeated in first person)
My interpretation of the story. "Lie" was about how Luka did love Gumi but wasn't ready to say she was lesbian. But unlike Gumi she was ready to admit it "I(Love)" . Gumi loves Luka deeply but knows she won't admit to it. Luka starts dating a guy who abuses her in many ways "Circus Monster" and she starts to realize she did love Gumi. But Gumi had already committed suicide before Luka finds out. So Luka tries to figure out why she doesn't see Gumi anymore and that's why she says "why are you not here?" And "I want to see you I need to see you" (in "Circus Monster") because she wanted to see Gumi. But she was already gone. Which is what makes the depressing story.
Yeah, and the "tyrant" is Kaito (even though he technically isn't abusing Luka in anyway, and just wants her to love him back, whereas Luka's just using him as a tool so as to not be disliked by the society)
Ok, I’ve been avoiding this song for the longest time just because I was pissed at the amount of people calling literally anything associated with FNaF cringy but coming back and forgetting all of that this is a nice song and I don’t know why I left it alone for so long because of that.
+xXNeverOnlineXx Even disturbing (which is kinda my thing) Vocaloid songs have beautiful lyrics with deep meaning, for example, this song Circus Monster, and my all time fav is The Lost One's Weeping and Tokyo Teddy Bear cuz the lyrics are relatable to my life..
same, i can't live without vocaloid. i went to my grandparents house and they don't have Internet, so i cried on the inside, i could only listen to one song, it was by rin and len, it got old fast though...tear ;'(
I think.......This is it..... I m getting into Vocaloid..... Slowly.... Slowly It s close...... THAT IT ! I M ADDICTED TO VOCALOID ! !!!!!!!!! But this is only the begining of my relationship with CircusP songs and music...........oh god....
Ok, I get that in a literal sense people are saying that the trainer was there for Luka and that he/she just died from something... Why is nobody talking about how the Lions could've done that? *"Those two lions were always fun, why did they leave too?"* Also, there were lines after that like "They will not obey." I'm assuming for the lines after that the trainer eventually jumped in to save Luka, but they died in the process.

I think Luka KNOWS she's just a robot made for singing, that for us, she's nothing, by he, he means her master, she considers herself a "Circus monster", and by "You", she was talking about Miku, and the lions were the Kagamine brothers, just a theory.
It's about Gumi. She hid her feelings for gumi/left her to be with kaito knowing that she doesnt love kaito the same and now the lions, len andRin, mock her and are mad at her for hiding her true self / feelings. She wants to see gumi but by the time she wants to, gumi is filled with anger / heartache. "He" is kaito, he is in love with her even tho he knows luka does not.
i wish there were more songs by luka in the vocaloid community, you really don't see them often. also, she has really good english too! probably one of my favorite vocaloids! OwO
Tropicana Studios There's hundreds of beautiful works by Luka, but the community is too shallow in maturity to appreciate them. They need something to gossip about or they're generally not interested. I can direct you to a lot of songs, if you're interested, but I'm a one lady man. The Lady is Luka
I really really hope CircusP releases a new version of this on the 10 year anniversary, I'm sure it would be so cool to see the improvements in both his production and tuning, and using Luka's 2015 english VB
My interpretation is that the singer is a young child being bullied. The term "Circus Monster" refers to her feeling like a freak and an outcast. The "show" is life and the "act" is her getting emotionally and physically abused by the bullies. The "curtain" is a front she's created in an attempt to seem strong and brave. The girl who "was amazing", is "not here", and "left it alone" is a girl who managed to hold off the bullies, but she had to leave for some reason, and when she left the bullies came back. The ringleader of the circus represents the leader of the bullies. The lions represent either her old friends who abandoned her for fear of being bullied themselves, and then turn on her to "fit in". "Singing" is really crying. The line "he wants me to sing, I just cannot bring, I say 'he's not you', what else can I do" shows the bully wants her to cry, but she's trying to remain strong. She thinks she can only let "her" know of her pain, but her misery brings her to cry in front of him anyway. However you interpret it, this song is deep as all hell.
I can’t get enough of your music, it’s honestly brilliant! Each song makes you think really deeply about the true meaning, and there are plenty of things you can infer from the lyrics. Plus every song is so catchy that I often find myself running through the lyrics in my head without even realising. Keep up the brilliant work :)
I think I love,Lie,And Circus Monster are all tied together. Gumi and luka were best friends who decided it would be fun to date to try and see if they could actually do something, along the way they started to gain feelings, Luka was scared and dumped Gumi and started dating Kaito to try and erase feelings, Gumi knowing that she was in love with Luka and knowing she wasn't happy made the song I (love) dedicated to Luka, Luka who was still in denial made the song Lie dedicated to Gumi, she was coming to the conclusion that she was in love with Gumi. After Gumi found it pointless and her only reason to living was Luka she killed herself. Luka did not know she killed herself so she made the song Circus Monster "you" was Gumi and Kaito was "he", in the end she finds out Gumi kills herself because of the twins (I think Ren and Len) who were metophored as lions and she ends up falling into a deep depression and killing herself too which is in (I think) this song.That's the theory.Unless another song was made that could be possibly tied to this (if not already) then this is what I have concluded. Anyone agree?
And then at 3:13 I’m pretty sure that’s Gumi, or at least a memory of her from Luka’s mind. In this song Luka says I can still hear “you” singing, referring to Gumi, and Gumi’s voice is faintly singing. I completely agree with this theory
Lyrics: Time is dead and gone Show must go on Its time for our act They all scream at me They can not see This curtain hides me An amazing gift So quick and swift You were amazing By myself I can't They start to chant Why are you not here? Grinning at me I lay on my knees They want to hear me Why can not 'he' see I want to see you I need to see you I have to see you What happened to you? We get up on stage They jump to enrage Why are you not here? Why is 'he' so near? 'He' wants me to sing I just can not bring- I say 'he's' not you What else can I do? Singing it's silent song of misery A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare 'he' is a tyrant It lets out a plea Why did she have to leave it all alone? Bound to sing for us A worthless monster It never sees us It despises us Lying so useless, we start to holler "HEY! GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!" I lay all alone I should have known You would have left me 'He' smiles at me I can not see Why 'he's' in your place They can't tell me why You said "Goodbye" Right before our act Those to young lions Were always fun Why did they leave, too? Roaring at me I lay on my knees What is happening I can hear you sing They will not obey They've been led astray Will I still see you? I have to see you I panic and flee They both pounce on me I fell to the ground I can't hear a sound I look up and see You are not with me Am I all alone? Where could you have gone? Singing it's silent song of misery A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare 'he' is a tyrant It lets out a plea Why did she have to leave it all alone? Bound to sing for us A worthless monster It never sees us It despises us Lying so useless, we start to holler "HEY! GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!"

Singing my silent song of misery This monster lies trapped in my own nightmare 'he' is a tyrant I let out a plea Why did you have to leave me all alone? Bound to sing for them A worthless monster I never sees them I despise them so Lying so useless, they start to holler "HEY! GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!"
Why do I feel like it's about a child with an abusive father for a family? I feel like "she" is the mother that abandoned the child to the father and never came back, "he" is the abusive father and treats the child like a "monster", "we" is, idk, billies maybe? just a theory. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THIS SONG TO ME
Watching this to compare your old songs to your new ones like 1/4 and poltergeist. I've never seen someone progress this much in tuning and HECK you also improved in the pronunciation??? I'm so proud omfg
This is either someone blaming themselves for events they may have influenced, or someone trapped in an abusive, controlling relationship, and blaming themselves for their own suffering
CircusP has always been my favorite Vocaloid artist. It's so nice finally hearing a cover of the first song of theirs I ever discovered. And a beautiful cover at that. Well done, Juby
*Attempts to sing this song* "TIIIME IS DEAD AND GONE, SHOW MUST GO ON, IT'S TIME FOR OUR----*Takes a Deep Breath* AACT." Darn it....I messed up. REDO!!
I can sing like 2 verses with out breathing. (I like to add deep or shallow breaths in the verses though to add more sad affect) this is WAY to easy to sing. now if we were to look at one of -MASA Work Designs- songs or The Disappearance Of Hatsune Miku... yeah that's understandable
I can do the whole song like that, but i usually run out of breath at the end of the chorus. I have to breath in at "hey get up you worthless circus monster" and at the end i take a deep breath and i run out of breath at the end again.
I believe its because Gumi is who Luka is singing about... Gumi is the girl who excaped or something.... Someone told me the whole story, but i forgot :/
Rachel Maxon You're right that Luka is singing about Gumi, but Gumi didn't escape, she was slaughtered by her lions because she was a lion tamer in the circus.
This is actually a very meta song We get up on stage They jump to enrage Why are you not here? Why is 'he' so near? He' wants me to sing I just can not bring- I say 'he's' not you What else can I do? this refers to a vocaloid that was bought second hand she misses her old owner. An amazing gift So quick and swift You were amazing her old owner had a amazing talent for making music with vocaloid. They want to hear me Why can not 'he' see? she wants to keep making amazing music but her new owner lacks the talent of the old one. Singing it's silent song of misery A monster lies trapped in it's own Nightmare the songs her new owner makes are very bad, for her to have to sing them is like a nightmare. He' is a tyrant her new owner gets very frustrated over his lack of talent and blames the vocaloid software for his lack of success and not himself. Those two young lions Were always fun~ Why did they leave, too? her old owner had more vocaloids installed then just her. she misses them. Roaring at me I lay on my knees What is happening? I can hear you sing her owner rages even more as he gets even more frustrated. They will not obey They've been lead astray her owner try as he might just can't figure out what he's doing wrong. He envisioned wonderful music in his head but can't get the software to obey. I panic and flee They both pounce on me I fell to the ground I can't hear a sound He finally gives up. defeated he drops the case or the software is the floor. She can't hear a sound because he gave up trying to make music. I look up and see You are not with me Am I all alone? Where could you have gone? He returns her to the second hand store. He is gone now. Lying so useless, we start to holler "Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster! She feels useless because she's stuck in a discount bin. She's telling herself to get up because she still wants to make amazing music just like she used to with her original owner.
This song was originally posted on my old UA-cam channel on August 24th, 2010!
I was 14 when I started writing it and 15 when I released the video (which is why you might hear those numbers thrown around)
I don't have any plans to revise or remake this after all these years, but I appreciate everyone's support of my first ever serious attempt at a song!! I wrote a few others before this, but this was the first song I took seriously. The fact that even 12 years later people are still finding it and enjoying it is so surreal. Thank you! 💙
Hi
honestly this is a great song
ive been listening to circus monster since i was in 7th grade. i'm in 11th grade now, it's honestly a huge part of my life, i listen to megurine luka a lot, specially when i'm travelling for out of town school competitions. thank u for making circus monster, i'll continue listening to it after all this time 😭 UR WORKS ARE AMAZINGGGGG
WE LOVE THIS SONG, IS THE BEST A IVER HEARD, this song was a several thing in my adolescence
Just the thought that you wrote this at such a young age where you would be starting to learn how cruel the world can be, while having knowledge of mixing is pretty heckin’ crazy.

I'm shook that this was written by a 14 year old. But it's amazing all of his music is amazing
Wait Circus was 14 when he made this?
P- ryo *HE!?*
More like 16, actually.
Hahaha... These lyrics are a little nihilistic, I must say. But a fourteen-year-old cannot be spared any innocence in this world, especially nowadays. I doubt that anyone can remain blissfully ignorant of the pain that goes on anymore, even if they're still a young age. It's rather amazing that Circus could make such a beautiful song with the knowledge of hatred, instead of doing something... Else. That's likely why he'll always be my favourite Vocaloid producer, without any exceptions.
P- yro *WAIT CIRCUS IS FOURTEEN*

I think (though I have some other theory's) this is about social anxiety. by "act" she means going to a social social gathering. the "they all scream at me" is saying how everyone's voices sound amplified, "they cannot see" is about no one realising how stressed she is. it goes one to say that she can't find that one friend she came with who was lowering her anxiety and someone else approaches her seeing her distress but all she can say is that they aren't who she's looking for. she feels like she's acting like a fool and everyone is judging her and it feels like her own nightmare. "those two young lions" are people who she knew but not that well though when she was less stressed they were always fun now they just add to the anxiety, her legs buckle beneath her and she goes into a full on meltdown feeling worse and worse as it continues. also a bit on the picture, the horns show how she feels like she stands out a lot from everyone else.
***** thanks ^.^
damn my head
İt makes sense,but i think there is a little schizophrenia (is it spelled like that) in the mix and the fact that she says "Lying so useless WE start to holler" signaling either there are other people like her in there,or the setting is a little different.What if instead of a social gathering they are at a monthly seminar for people with disorders and the tyrant is the head of the seminar and the person she is talking about is the previous head of the seminar that quit?And "Those two young lions" were her friends that were the only ones left in the seminar that also left after they no longer needed the seminar?
I have social anxiety and this is extremely accurate.
Then who is the "he" she's talking about?

Lyrics:
Time is dead and gone, Show must go on.
It's time for our act.
They all scream at me, They can not see,
This curtain hides me.
An amazing gift, so quick and swift,
you were amazing.
by myself I can't, They start to chant
Why are you not here?
grinning at me, I lay on my knees,
They want to hear me, why can not 'he' see.
I want to see you. I need to see you.
I have to see you. what happened to you?
we get up on stage. they jump to enrage.
Why are you not here? Why is 'he' so near?
'He' wants me to sing. I just can not bring...
I say 'he's' not you. What else can I do?
Singing it's silent song of misery,
A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare.
He is a tyrant. It lets out a plea.
"Why did she have to leave it all alone?"
Bound to sing for us, A worthless monster.
It never sees us. It despises us.
Lying so useless. We start to holler,
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
I lay all alone, I should have known.
You would have left me.
'He' smiles at me. I can not see why 'he's' in your place.
They can't tell me why you said 'Good bye' right before our act.
Those two young lions were always so fun.
Why did they leave too?
Roaring at me, I lay on my knees,
What is happening? I can hear you sing.
They will not obey, they've been lead astray.
Will I still see you? I have to see you.
I panic and flee. They both pounce on me.
I fall to the ground. I can't hear a sound.
I look up and see you are not with me.
am I all alone? Where could you have gone?

My theory for this song: A deformed girl was wandering the streets, she had been injured by the townsfolk and bleeding. A kind ringmaster found her bleeding on the sidewalk and took her in. The ringmaster stitched up the wounds (on her lower jaw) and left the poor girl to rest. The girl began to sing in her sleep, and the ringmaster realized her potential and invited the girl to join the circus when she awoke. The girl preformed and sang lovely songs for the audience, and began to have feelings towards the ringmaster, and the ringmaster felt the same connection, same desire to be together always. But one day, as the ringmaster was preparing the two lions for their act, they go wild and attack, and the ringmasters final moments were hearing the girl sing and wishing to be with her. One day, a new ringmaster, 'he', joins the circus, but cares only for money and entertaining the audience. He either sells or kills the disobedient lions, and forces the girl to sing through her tears and misery, and screams at her when she does not. The girl cries through her mournful song, as the audience boos the dismaying display.
Well, then 'he' can screw off and send her to a nicer place, the b***h (the b***h being whoever 'he' is.)
I agree with this
I agree
My interpretation of the story.
"Lie" was about how Luka did love Gumi but wasn't ready to say she was lesbian. But unlike Gumi she was ready to admit it "I(Love)" . Gumi loves Luka deeply but knows she won't admit to it. Luka starts dating a guy who abuses her in many ways "Circus Monster" and she starts to realize she did love Gumi. But Gumi had already committed suicide before Luka finds out. So Luka tries to figure out why she doesn't see Gumi anymore and that's why she says "why are you not here?" And "I want to see you I need to see you" (in "Circus Monster") because she wanted to see Gumi. But she was already gone. Which is what makes the depressing story.

My interpretation for this song is a tragic love story. Why? Here’s why down here.
Having been abandoned by her birth parents due to being born with deformities (hence the horns & fangs), the young girl faces many hardships as she silently endures shunning, ridicule, & cruelty from people. Everyday she slowly loses hope until one day a savior finally comes to her aid. Who is the holy angel?
Well, it is none other than a kindly circus trainer, who saw the deformed girl sitting on the desolate streets alone, starving & shivering like a leaf from the bitter winter cold . Genuinely concerned for her well being, he offers the lass some hot baguette bread & cheese then asks her, “Would you like to come with me to my circus?” As he offers a gloved hand to the deformed girl.
From that day on things changed as the deformed lass began to travel with the kindly circus trainer & his circus troupe around the world, performing for the good people, along with slowly having a place that she could call her true home. All was good, that is, until one tragic day the trainer suddenly passed away from an incurable illness that he was diagnosed with a long time ago, leaving his circus troupe in mourning...
Time passed like normal until one day a new circus trainer came along, but instead of treating the circus troupe with care & kindness, this man was nothing but corrupt, abusive (physically, verbally, emotionally & psychologically) & overall obsessed with money. Due to these horrid traits the trainer treated the troupe with immense cruelty & only used them for financial gain.
Unable to endure the abuse any longer, along with clinging to hope that her kindly trainer will return, the deformed girl slowly dies for she can only pray that she can join her former trainer, even in death....
Lori Valdez that's so sad, especially cause it's a love story, and I have a weak spot for love stories:(
Lori Valdez wait...how do you know this?
Lori Valdez u say to much :P
Dats de ep ma n
It’s probably a metaphor for an abusive relationship in which the boyf forces her to flaunt her talents for his gain
My personal theory about this song is that it's about an elephant. Hear me out now. For centuries, elephants have been part of circus acts. This particular elephant had a trainer that she loved very much, and who loved her back. One day, before her act, the trainer went to go check on two lions the circus also owned. 2:29 to 2:45 are sung from the trainer's POV as she is mauled by the lions, still thinking about her beloved elephant as she dies. The lions are put down by the circus or animal control. The elephant does not know this, and starts believe that her trainer abandoned her. Shortly after the first trainer dies, a new trainer is brought in by the circus. He doesn't care about the animals, and is very cruel and unkind to them, seeing them as "worthless monsters" and tools to make money. The elephant becomes increasingly depressed as the song goes on and she starts to become more and more convinced she was abandoned and the new trainer gets more and more abusive. It's not much of a stretch really, back when this song was made I remember hearing a lot about abuses of elephants in circuses, so maybe the creator based the song on those stories.
I think it's about the girl in the video. She has a job in the Circus, and she also has a crush. One day though, her crush doesn't appear and a new guy comes. She can tell something's wrong with him, something dark. The problem is that her and her crush both played a singing job. She doesn't know what to do without him, so she falls down on her knees. The people boo and scream at her madly, while the new guy watches her. Soon, after that's over she goes home and gets a call. It's from her crush. He says the new guy was at his house, this is at 2:17 . She is confused, however doesn't ask anymore. However soon the new guy becomes the boss somehow, and then starts abusing her. Her crush was also killed a few days ago by someone, and she keeps seeing his ghost everywhere. Soon, the boss orders her to do the lion job. The lions go crazy though, and it's clear that he abused them as well. The lions start to kill her, all while she's wondering where her crush went. She is murdered by the lions soon, but all she can hear are the people's screams and ''HEY! GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!'' That was a cruel name the people had given her because she couldn't do her job without her crush.
The little red haired girl from across the street huh never thought about like that
Actually, this is a pretty good theory/story behind the song. I believe (my personal story) that Vocaloids' were forced into the circus, where they must sing for their audience for as long as they live. Luka was partnered with another Vocaloid (Who I assume to be Gumi, Meiko, or Miku.) and fell in love with them. They are later killed or they escaped the circus. Luka soon becomes worried about her partner and turns to think she was left or abandoned by her. She is then introduced to a new partner who doesn't care about her, but would rather rise to fame and get riches, whether Luka is in on it or not. Slowly, Luka is overcome by depression and begins loses her ability to sing and perform for the crowd, who scream out at her *'Get up, you worthless Circus Monster!'* (She'd be useless, since a vocaloid's purpose is to sing, as stated in "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku") She slowly develops a hate or resentment toward the people of the crowd. The new, tyrant like partner, thinks that Luka is ugly/unpleasant to the crowd, so 'he' hides her away behind the curtain during performances. (To explain the 'I never see them, I despise them' part. Also, the picture could be of Luka sitting behind the curtain.) As a few other's have said, I believe the 'young lions' are Rin and Len, who were replaced/killed/escaped with Luka's old partner. They are replaced by new Vocaloids who poke fun and degrade Luka. One of the times that she is being picked on (right before her performance) by the new 'Lions' of the circus, she falls down and starts going unconscious. The new partner is angered by the fact Luka is not singing with him, and helping him with his money/fame, so he calls her a 'worthless circus monster' and the crowd later joins in.

my theory: if you don't know by now if a vocaloid becomes unpopular, hated or ignored the vocaloid has a chance to be replaced by another. I think this is what this song is about. She lost one of her friends by them being replaced with another, however, Luka was not aware therefore looking for him. Soon a new vocaloid comes along and 'he' tries to make a good impression so he can become popular in the vocaloid community. eventually Luka grows worried but that gets I the way of her singing and Len and Rin become replaced by another but try to make Luka replaced and fail. Gumi\Miku (idk who it was) comes in and replaces Luka, after Luka tries her best to stay, she fails and becomes replaced. we haven't seen English Luka since. (wow this was a long one)
Alvaro Ferrey Best one yet

It's sad that people think this is a FNAF Sister Location song, even though Sister location came out in 2016/2017 and Circus Monster was uploaded in 2012.
Mandy Moo well no, it’s not. People just use it because they feel it relates to Sister Location in some way. Especially since Sister Location is basically based with Circus-like Characters and the story line of Sister Location somehow relates to this song in someway, I don’t know. I never played Sister Location or got into Fnaf very much lol
people are hype that how to pretend references to this (and why gumi is singing the adlib in the bridge) and they're theorizing that a lot of circus' songs link to each other
I'm agreeing with what Lynxie AJ said. I'm pretty sure people would know this info because this song was pretty popular way back when and still now in a way, and they just use it to be Sister Location like cause of the story line in it, and the lyrics here just give them SL vibes.
In some ways I see it, other I don't, I get that to most, Baby is singing but that's about all I can even understand dmdhdkfmdj
Yeah, I kinda agree with Mandy Moo, but your comment makes me think about what happened to Lizz Robinette's (I probably spelt that wrong ;^;) English cover of Hide and Seek, it was sad what happened to it
Kind Camila, what happened to it?
Luka is one of the songstresses, but because of her most recent "Failed Rebirth," (She is constantly being born/reborn over and over and over) She has to be be blindfolded. Not only does she have the cursed horns, because her vision is also terrible. Her Father believes that by doing this it will "Rest Up" her eyes, so that in a dire situation, she will be able to harness the energy and see again.
The songstresses are considered of great value. They aren't allowed to speak with anyone other then their fellow performers.
One of these performers is Gumi, the Lion Tamer. Along with her beloved Lions*, Rin and Len.
Gumi is Luka's "Right Hand." Each songstress is assigned one "Right Hand."
Gumi was a former songstress. While she was almost done with her time, Luka was just starting. Gumi is one of the oldest performers in the Circus, she is also one of the few songstresses to complete her "Rebirthing" process and was granted immortality*. And the chance to leave the circus.
However she decided to stay, and become Luka's "Right Hand" by choice. She had gotten acquainted with her back when they were both songstresses, and couldn't bare to leave her.
In the Circus Monster song itself...
Luka is mourning Gumi (First Verse-Second Verse)
The reckless crowd at the circus is randomly singing about Luka's Life(Chorus)
Luka's still morning Gumi (Third Verse)
Gumi is explaining how her dear Lions turned on her and ate her face (Fourth Verse)
The Crowd repeats itself (Chorus)
Gumi shows that she is still with Luka, singing along in the song.
Crowd repeats themselves AGAIN (Chorus)
Luka repeats what the crowd was saying about her, however now in first person. She believes that she is now a "Worthless Circus Monster" (EndChorus)
+Violet Lucite (Midnight) Man thats really sad. :(
+Jim Weinheimer it truly is
+Violet Lucite (Midnight) Oh mah gerd. I just died. That was amazing, I could never have heard, and understood that in these lyrics. Thank you, now my Yuri shipping is complete ^ ^
well Luka and Gumi have alot of love between them like lie by luka and I love by gumi those songs are to each other
+Violet Lucite (Midnight) Yeah, I can't wait for the third song of the series to Lie and I Love to come out.

*Sudden realisation how similar Luka and Gumi's voices are*
I swear happy synthesizer used only one of them
Well songs that use gumi or luka they usally make one of the 2 sound kawaii. Usally gumi but some songs luka is kawaii like this one and gumi is the mature one
I've heard they both have the best English voicebanks
7 years old
Made by them when they were 13-14
It has aged so damn well. God I love this song
There's so many interpretations of this song, but I honestly believe that this song has no correct meaning. It has whatever meaning you attach to it. (Other than what the creator intended)
This song is so powerful, I do almost cry everytime after hearing it, but the funny thing is, I don't 100% know/get the meaning behind the lyrics. It's that powerful I want to cry without knowing exactly what it's about. Could someone explain to me tho what the main story is behind the lyrics, I want to appreciate this song much more than I already do, I love it :,)
Rory Stock I think that in this song she has social anxiety and "he" left her her at a party and now she is have a mental break down in the middle of a party. but that's what I think.
ErinFreidofXtgamer Colins Ah right it's making a lot more sense now......... I can now relate to this............. :,(
Everyone else is sayin its about vocaloids and friend of luka's getting replaced, and she ends up getting replaced....or something. I'm nor familiar with the vocaloid community :/

me too...
me too
Same
Why me(._.)
lol me too only i'll have to play this song every day for over an hour
I think I can solve this depressing mystery.
I’ll start off with Luka’s song “Lie” It seems that Luka realized during a fake relationship with Gumi (Because of a dare by a friend or whatever) Gumi appeared to have strong feelings towards Luka, and Luka likes her back, but thing is, Luka is afraid of becoming a real intimate relationship with Gumi because she knows society will judge her with being a lesbian. So she decides to convince herself that she doesn’t have a crush on Gumi and force herself to like either Kaito or Gakupo. So she’s technically “Lying” to Gumi, Kaito or Gakupo, and herself.
Onto the song “Love” by Gumi. This song explains that Gumi is aware of Luka’s lying and she’s trying not to let her lie to everyone. Gumi seems to really need Luka in her life so she can be happy. But Luka’s in a “relationship” with one of the past men I’ve already mentioned. And it drives Gumi insane.
And the song above, “Circus Monster” by Luka. After all those months of Gumi being heart-broken by Luka, she reaches her breaking point and commits suicide. First she’s unaware of why Gumi ended her life but breaks up with you-know-who, after Gumi’s suicide, Rin and Len assumed it was Luka’s fault then thought less of her and they decided not to be friends with her, and her ex (“He”) tries to win her back. Later on, Luka realizes that she’s responsible of Gumi’s death. She defined herself as a monster.
THIS IS GENIUS
*cries*
Kawaii Girl **Gives you tissues** it’s ok, I cried too ;~;
@@k333nya *sobs* thank you for the tissues *blows nose*
I'm late but, adding on, there's the song 1/4 sung by Kaito, based after Luka breaks up with him. Kaito sings about how he actually loves Luka truly, but she merely used him as a tool for her status. When Luka sings "He is a tyrant, it lets out a plea", she is singing about Kaito, but what she means is that Kaito is not violently or sexually abusing her, but in fact seems like a tyrant because he wants her to love him back despite the fact that she knows she can't (like from the lines in 1/4, "Are you not feeling this, feeling this, feeling the same?")
Also, Luka from Circus Monster (with her horns) made a cameo in the song "The Start" sung by Meiko, along with a cameo of Miku from the song "Goodbye", so we the Circus-P fans are trying to figure out if Goodbye and The Start are related to this series (Lie, I (Love), Circus Monster and 1/4)

Same XD
Vocaloid songs are the only songs that feel good when they get stuck in my head.
Me too, it's not the same
WastedQueenz Me too, all day all I hear in my head is SINGING A SILENT SONG OF MISERY
What if this story isn't about a monster and trainer? What if it's about the love story between two monsters?
These two monsters loved each other. They would play, tell jokes, sing private duets together, and so on. One of the workers eventually got tired of all the noise they made and separated them.
The monsters are not happy with their trainers, hence the lines "I want to see, I need to see you, I have to see you, what happened to you?"
And
"Why is "he", so near"
As well as
"I say "he's not you", what else can I do?"
And
"I cannot see why he's in your place,"
After a while, the monsters start finally paying attention to what the people are saying about them
"Singing it's silent song of misery"
"He is a tyrant"
"Why did she have to leave it all alone?"
"HEY GET UP YOU WORTHLESS CIRCUS MONSTER!"
after a while of hearing it, they eventually believe it.
(At the end when all the quotes are repeated in first person)
My interpretation of the story.
"Lie" was about how Luka did love Gumi but wasn't ready to say she was lesbian. But unlike Gumi she was ready to admit it "I(Love)" . Gumi loves Luka deeply but knows she won't admit to it. Luka starts dating a guy who abuses her in many ways "Circus Monster" and she starts to realize she did love Gumi. But Gumi had already committed suicide before Luka finds out. So Luka tries to figure out why she doesn't see Gumi anymore and that's why she says "why are you not here?" And "I want to see you I need to see you" (in "Circus Monster") because she wanted to see Gumi. But she was already gone. Which is what makes the depressing story.
Hmm, I wonder too 🤔
The person who left, is it Gumi?
Gumi Megurine yes
Yeah. There’s a theory that two other songs and this one are connected.
Yeah, and the "tyrant" is Kaito (even though he technically isn't abusing Luka in anyway, and just wants her to love him back, whereas Luka's just using him as a tool so as to not be disliked by the society)
Gumi be like OK GURL IM GONNA GO GET YA SOME YUMMY FOOD BRB and got lost
Yes. Gumi was ate by her dear two lions. Correct me if I'm wrong
Ok, I’ve been avoiding this song for the longest time just because I was pissed at the amount of people calling literally anything associated with FNaF cringy but coming back and forgetting all of that this is a nice song and I don’t know why I left it alone for so long because of that.

Alot of relatively new comments...
That's good to see...
Hi :)
Hey guys xD
Yup
Ok, I get that in a literal sense people are saying that the trainer was there for Luka and that he/she just died from something...
Why is nobody talking about how the Lions could've done that? *"Those two lions were always fun, why did they leave too?"* Also, there were lines after that like "They will not obey." I'm assuming for the lines after that the trainer eventually jumped in to save Luka, but they died in the process.
My interpretation of the story.
"Lie" was about how Luka did love Gumi but wasn't ready to say she was lesbian. But unlike Gumi she was ready to admit it "I(Love)" . Gumi loves Luka deeply but knows she won't admit to it. Luka starts dating a guy who abuses her in many ways "Circus Monster" and she starts to realize she did love Gumi. But Gumi had already committed suicide before Luka finds out.

I think Luka KNOWS she's just a robot made for singing, that for us, she's nothing, by he, he means her master, she considers herself a "Circus monster", and by "You", she was talking about Miku, and the lions were the Kagamine brothers, just a theory.
you Kagamine TWINS cause ne of them is Rin(female) and Len(male) so they are twins on brothers
I mean twins not brothers
Yeah, I was tired, It was like, 1 PM.

Same :)
My theory: it's a song with a depressing meaning behind it.
XD
OML SO DEEP 😩👊
Almost every vocaloid song is like this
My theory: Dark Wood Circus :v
It's about Gumi. She hid her feelings for gumi/left her to be with kaito knowing that she doesnt love kaito the same and now the lions, len andRin, mock her and are mad at her for hiding her true self / feelings. She wants to see gumi but by the time she wants to, gumi is filled with anger / heartache. "He" is kaito, he is in love with her even tho he knows luka does not.
tHIS IS STILL A BANGER ITS SO GOOD
That begining sounds like it can be used in Geometry Dash. XD
so true! it would be a good one to play :3
yah your right
IKR!?
Dangan Ronpa!

this song has thrown itself into my head again for the first time in a while. It's been a god damn while. Damn, 2012.
It sounds like she's singing about us, about how we demand to hear her sing, otherwise we see her as useless.
Genius.
Oh my Gotham that is seriously deep the way you put it, now I kinda feel bad
That...actually makes a lot of sense. Dang.
0,0 oh... that makes me feel so bad...
that put me in Vocaloid-emo mood
I am having such a Nostalgic trip coming back to this song after soo many years, and it's just as beautiful as the day I first listened to it.
i wish there were more songs by luka in the vocaloid community, you really don't see them often.
also, she has really good english too! probably one of my favorite vocaloids! OwO
Tropicana Studios
There's hundreds of beautiful works by Luka, but the community is too shallow in maturity to appreciate them. They need something to gossip about or they're generally not interested.
I can direct you to a lot of songs, if you're interested, but I'm a one lady man. The Lady is Luka
10 years later and it's still one of the greatest voca songs of all time... i feel so old
I really really hope CircusP releases a new version of this on the 10 year anniversary, I'm sure it would be so cool to see the improvements in both his production and tuning, and using Luka's 2015 english VB
My interpretation is that the singer is a young child being bullied.
The term "Circus Monster" refers to her feeling like a freak and an outcast.
The "show" is life and the "act" is her getting emotionally and physically abused by the bullies.
The "curtain" is a front she's created in an attempt to seem strong and brave.
The girl who "was amazing", is "not here", and "left it alone" is a girl who managed to hold off the bullies, but she had to leave for some reason, and when she left the bullies came back.
The ringleader of the circus represents the leader of the bullies.
The lions represent either her old friends who abandoned her for fear of being bullied themselves, and then turn on her to "fit in".
"Singing" is really crying. The line "he wants me to sing, I just cannot bring, I say 'he's not you', what else can I do" shows the bully wants her to cry, but she's trying to remain strong. She thinks she can only let "her" know of her pain, but her misery brings her to cry in front of him anyway.
However you interpret it, this song is deep as all hell.
3:14 gumi?
Yes. That is Gumi.
Just wanted to say that I like your pfp. I hope Chloe becomes the bearer of the Bee Miraculous.
Bello Buzz yes
I can’t get enough of your music, it’s honestly brilliant! Each song makes you think really deeply about the true meaning, and there are plenty of things you can infer from the lyrics. Plus every song is so catchy that I often find myself running through the lyrics in my head without even realising. Keep up the brilliant work :)
I think I love,Lie,And Circus Monster are all tied together.
Gumi and luka were best friends who decided it would be fun to date to try and see if they could actually do something, along the way they started to gain feelings, Luka was scared and dumped Gumi and started dating Kaito to try and erase feelings, Gumi knowing that she was in love with Luka and knowing she wasn't happy made the song I (love) dedicated to Luka, Luka who was still in denial made the song Lie dedicated to Gumi, she was coming to the conclusion that she was in love with Gumi. After Gumi found it pointless and her only reason to living was Luka she killed herself. Luka did not know she killed herself so she made the song Circus Monster "you" was Gumi and Kaito was "he", in the end she finds out Gumi kills herself because of the twins (I think Ren and Len) who were metophored as lions and she ends up falling into a deep depression and killing herself too which is in (I think) this song.That's the theory.Unless another song was made that could be possibly tied to this (if not already) then this is what I have concluded.
Anyone agree?
I kind of agree
And then at 3:13 I’m pretty sure that’s Gumi, or at least a memory of her from Luka’s mind. In this song Luka says I can still hear “you” singing, referring to Gumi, and Gumi’s voice is faintly singing. I completely agree with this theory
Holy shitaki mushrooms
no i don't agree
i am lost, who is gumi?
you never really leave your vocaloid phase do u....
personally for me its been like, 11-12 years. so nope. you do not
Never
Is the girl in grey Gummi cuz she was wearing googles?

I can sing like 2 verses with out breathing. (I like to add deep or shallow breaths in the verses though to add more sad affect) this is WAY to easy to sing. now if we were to look at one of -MASA Work Designs- songs or The Disappearance Of Hatsune Miku... yeah that's understandable
I can do the whole song like that, but i usually run out of breath at the end of the chorus. I have to breath in at "hey get up you worthless circus monster" and at the end i take a deep breath and i run out of breath at the end again.
breathe in between words or phrases, thats what i do
@@vipeizoid thats the thing
You dont get a chance to in a lot of vocaloid songs cause they dont need to breAthe
Finally found this again, thank you young me for creating a billion playlists
This is my nostalgia, reminding me that the good old 2010s are over...
So the 20s... boy they've started out just WonDErfullY!
why did Gumi sing the "Ahhh~" parts?
It might have been the part where her lions were ripping off her face. Just my guess
because she can
I believe its because Gumi is who Luka is singing about... Gumi is the girl who excaped or something.... Someone told me the whole story, but i forgot :/
Rachel Maxon You're right that Luka is singing about Gumi, but Gumi didn't escape, she was slaughtered by her lions because she was a lion tamer in the circus.
Wait what? Really? I thought luka was the lion tamer? Well whoops. Thanks you c:
how am i only finding this song 10 YEARS AFTER ITS RELEASE WHAT?? anyways i’m in love with this design of Luka, wonderful song :)
I have no idea how long this song has been stuck in my head, but it's been years and years. Crazy good work.
The music reminds me of how yogurt tastes.
...
MagicTacoXB Like, that was the first thing I thought of. Eating yogurt.
Dark Wolf 333 I'm not even trolling here. That instrument at the beginning makes me taste yogurt.
xD
...What? XD
i wonder what it would sound like if Melanie Martinez's Carousel was mashed up with this
XD
Make this happen.

Zophia TiMe it would be a match made in heaven... like with Carousel and Heathens.
Zophia TiMe Please no
This is actually a very meta song
We get up on stage
They jump to enrage
Why are you not here?
Why is 'he' so near?
He' wants me to sing
I just can not bring-
I say 'he's' not you
What else can I do?
this refers to a vocaloid that was bought second hand she misses her old owner.
An amazing gift
So quick and swift
You were amazing
her old owner had a amazing talent for making music with vocaloid.
They want to hear me
Why can not 'he' see?
she wants to keep making amazing music but her new owner lacks the talent of the old one.
Singing it's silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in it's own Nightmare
the songs her new owner makes are very bad, for her to have to sing them is like a nightmare.
He' is a tyrant
her new owner gets very frustrated over his lack of talent and blames the vocaloid software for his lack of success and not himself.
Those two young lions
Were always fun~
Why did they leave, too?
her old owner had more vocaloids installed then just her. she misses them.
Roaring at me
I lay on my knees
What is happening?
I can hear you sing
her owner rages even more as he gets even more frustrated.
They will not obey
They've been lead astray
her owner try as he might just can't figure out what he's doing wrong. He envisioned wonderful music in his head but can't get the software to obey.
I panic and flee
They both pounce on me
I fell to the ground
I can't hear a sound
He finally gives up. defeated he drops the case or the software is the floor. She can't hear a sound because he gave up trying to make music.
I look up and see
You are not with me
Am I all alone?
Where could you have gone?
He returns her to the second hand store. He is gone now.
Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!
She feels useless because she's stuck in a discount bin. She's telling herself to get up because she still wants to make amazing music just like she used to with her original owner.
This song is so good its still being listened to.
