Darling, Go Slow
Embrace the Unseen: Navigating Life's Haze with Cardboard Carousel
Lyrics
Oh, darling go slow
Expresses a plea for someone to take things slowly.
You've been burning out
Suggests that the person has been exerting themselves excessively.
And the strain shows
Indicates that the strain or stress is becoming evident.
Oh, darling let go
Encourages letting go of the attempt to figure everything out.
Of trying to work it out
Advises against overthinking and going with the flow.
Which way the wind blows
Suggests uncertainty and unpredictability in life.
Oh this smoke
Refers to a metaphorical smoke, possibly representing troubles or challenges.
Is too much for my lungs to breathe
Describes the smoke as physically overwhelming and harmful.
It's too much for my head
Highlights the mental strain caused by the challenging situation.
Oh this life is clutching smoke
Suggests that life itself is akin to grasping at elusive smoke.
Oh, darling find hope
Encourages the person to discover optimism or positive outlook.
You are more than what
Acknowledges the person's potential beyond their current understanding.
You already know
Emphasizes that there is more to the individual than they realize.
You are not at the end of your rope
Assures the person that they are not in a hopeless situation.
You are moving on
Recognizes the gradual progress the person is making.
Even though it's slow
Acknowledges that progress may be slow but is still happening.
Oh this smoke
Reiterates the overwhelming nature of the metaphorical smoke.
Is too much for my lungs to breathe
Repeats the physical and mental challenges posed by the smoke.
It's too much for my head
Reemphasizes the difficulty of coping with the situation.
Oh this life is clutching smoke
Recalls the idea that life is comparable to clutching at smoke.
And when I go
Raises a reflective question about the legacy or outcome of one's life.
What will I have to show for it?
Questions whether achievements or love will be the legacy.
Gold, or the love I give?
Contrasts material wealth (gold) with the emotional value of love.
Oh stop chasing
Advises against pursuing elusive or unattainable goals.
Oh stop chasing after smoke
Reiterates the futility of chasing after metaphorical smoke.
Darling, Go Slow
Repeats the initial plea for the person to take things slowly.
Darling, find hope
Restates the encouragement to find hope in challenging circumstances.
In the smoke
Reaffirms the presence of metaphorical smoke in the situation.
