Kaira's Lyrics

Here are a couple of Kaira's lyrics. Here, I will tell you the significance of each of them and I will state the relationship between them and the novel.

A sad circus clown who has hopes to inspire
The love of the long-haired, blue-spangled trapeze highflyer,
Kicks off his floppy shoes and changes attire,
Just like Clark Klent, or Tobey Maguire,
And goes up the circus ladder, higher and higher,
'Cause a clown is someone she could never admire,
But there ain't no net beneath the high wire. lyrics
Nearing the top, he starts to perspire.
He's climbing out of the frying pan...
and into the fire!

I am sure that the author put that line in to sum up what is happening in g novel and to show the collision of the two people. Kaira is singing about a guy whose life gets more complicated, seeming more confusing and growing. It is pretty much saying that you can't trust someone who is not trustworthy. If you are going to trust someone that person must show you their trust by being honest. Kaira and Armpit come from two different lifestyles and this song is showing what happens when those two lifestyles collide.
The next lyrics that I chose was first mentioned early in the story. At first, it had no relationship but now as it all comes together, it begins to make sense with the story...

When Armpit first heard Damsel in distress, he thought that she was singing, "Save me Armpit, a damsel in distress." but after he met Kaira and they got their relationship to where it is now, as it all comes together, Kaira got on stage and sang, "Save me Armpit, a damsel in distress." This meant that she did care and that their relationship is growing stronger and there is more to it than a simple little crush.
