Eminence Front
The Who Lyrics

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
An eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
Eminence front
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on

Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill, dress to kill

Drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
Their shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding

Behind an eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put on
It's just an eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put on
An eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put on
Eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on

Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party

Dress to kill
Dress yourself, dressed to kill

"Eminence Front" by The Who is a song that reveals the facade of the entertainment industry. It starts off describing how people tend to forget their worries when they are out having fun, forgetting the stressors they have in their life. However, the chorus of the song tells us that it is a put on, a facade. The repeat of the phrase "it's an eminence front" emphasizes how insincere and fake the party scene can be.

The song goes on to describe how people dress up to socialize and indulge in drinking while forgetting their problems, and how the news about the world and stock market crash can also disappear in light of the fun they are having. Finally, the song ends on a note to "dress to kill" to become a part of the facade that everyone is participating in.

Overall, "Eminence Front" is a critique of the entertainment industry and the facade that it puts up, where people can forget about their problems and indulge in the manufactured happiness that is presented to them.

The sun shines
A beautiful day begins as the sun illuminates the world

And people forget
People are quick to forget their problems and concerns

The spray flies as the speedboat glides
The water splashes and sprays as a speedboat travels along

And people forget
People lose sight of their worries and only focus on enjoyment

Forget they're hiding
They forget about their true selves and try to fit in with others

The girls smile
Women put on a happy face to please those around them

And people forget
Other distractions fully consume people's thoughts and actions

The snow packs as the skier tracks
Ski tracks leave a trail on the snow as the activity progresses

People forget
People are distracted and do not consider the potential dangers or negative consequences of their actions

Forget they're hiding
People become so caught up in the moment that they lose their sense of self and individuality

Behind an eminence front
People use a deceptive facade to mask their true selves

Eminence front, it's a put on
The image that people portray to society is not a reflection of their genuine character or emotions

It's an eminence front
The exterior presented by an individual may not be their true self, creating a barrier between themselves and others

It's an eminence front, it's a put on
Even though someone appears to be something they are not, it does not make them genuine or sincere

An eminence front
A prestigious and superior image is used to mask one's vulnerabilities or insecurities

Eminence front, it's a put on
The deception is a façade that is meant to look authentic, but in actuality, it represents an underlying fear of rejection

Eminence front
The false image presented to society creates a persona based on expectations and influence

It's an eminence front, it's a put on
The image portrayed is an artificial way of relating to others

It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on
People maintain their façade to protect their true selves and to gain acceptance from society

Come and join the party
Come participate in the festivities with the rest of the crowd

Dress to kill
Wear attention-grabbing attire and be the life of the party

Drinks flow
Alcohol consumption increases and creates a sense of euphoria for partygoers

People forget
Individuals become consumed with the moment and neglect their worries for the time being

That big wheel spins, the hair thins
Time marches on, and aging takes its toll on one's physical appearance

People forget
People become overly focused on the present and lose sight of their future predicaments

Forget they're hiding
People continue to hide behind their façade of eminence, concealing their true selves

The news slows
Current events become less important to people as they concentrate on their pleasures

People forget
People become consumed with their current state of mind and neglect their obligations and long-term plans

Their shares crash, hopes are dashed
Their financial investments fail, ruining the possibility of success and leaving them feeling hopeless

People forget
People neglect their problems by pushing them to the side and burying them within their minds

Forget they're hiding
People continue to deny their true selves and mask their shortcomings behind a façade of eminence

Come on join the party
Join together with the rest of society to put on this façade

Dress to
Carefully select the appropriate attire that will gain attention and admiration from others

Come on join the party
Join together with others to participate in the activities that reinforce this façade

Dress to kill
Wear attire that will make a lasting impression and encourage further participation

Come on join the party
Join others to take part in the superficial activities designed to distract from personal problems and anxieties

Dress to kill
Wear carefully selected attire that will create an impression of superiority and create an illusion in order to fit in with your peers
