Take abow
The night is over, this maquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtain's down
There's no one here

In some countries taking a bow is an act of respect to somebody, someone older, someone who has higher position, or for the elder
Japan or Korea for instance, when people see their elder or their parent or kakak pertama, the first thing they do is taking a bow. It is a symbol of respect.
In Indonesia, we show respect by sungkeman (kalo Lebaran or hari Besar) or cium tangan ke orang tua, kakak, nenek kakek..
I think it is something that the Western world don't have, and we all should be proud of our culture. In Western world, taking a bow is only after you performed things...opera, music concert or maybe an orchestra...
Just my thoughts of tonight! Sooww, shall we continue the Madonna song?
Take abow
The night is over, this maquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtain's down
There's no one here
Say your line, but do you feel them?
Do you mean what you say, when there's no one around
Watching me watching you
One lonely star
