When a trapeze artist fell & was injured or killed (or there was some other tragic accident in a performance) the command was to “send in the clowns” in order to distract the audience from the accident while the injured performer was rushed off-scene. (After all, the audience was there to be entertained.) <br />Here are Sondheim’s words that fit that a circus trapeze-fall imagery: <br />> Me here at last on the ground <br />> You in mid-air <br />> One who can't move <br /><br />But certain images in the song definitely are more directly from the theater – which of course is the context in the story: <br />> Making my entrance again with my usual flair <br />> Sure of my lines <br />> Don't you love farce? <br /><br />A line which fits equally well a circus or a theater context is this: <br />> Losing my timing this late in my career <br /><br />I have to accept Sondheim’s denial that he intended to refer to circus clowns and that “send in the fools” is closer to his meaning. Even so, he has – whether inadvertently or subconsciously – used lines which fit the circus imagery well.

...I'm somewhat surprised at the comments here -<br />How could the song mean anything else other than what is shared above??? Isn't it pretty clear from the lyric as is???<br />Wow, folks, stretch yourselves some, learn and use the English language!<br />Although I might would differ very slightly in some of the motivational interpretation. I've seen it done by an incredible actress where the scene was played with more gentle (though still from the depths of regret and sadness) bitterness and irony,less anger. I thought it was devastatingly effective - the line "don't bother...they're here" was done devoid of anger but dripping with regret and the irony of self realization and sadness so deep that it made her numb. It made you ache for the character so hard, having fallen so far, and only now seeing it. the representation of her quietly giving up on life and love was beyond sad. Everyone in the theater choked back crazy sobs as she delivered this.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115963823187238170.post-39760792664533769802016-05-06T16:10:53.780-04:002016-05-06T16:10:53.780-04:00thank you for this article
