Carnival Gods
Carnival Gods: A Night of Rebellion and Romance
Lyrics
Hate your friends hate the way they talk
Hate for friends and their communication style is expressed.
Thought tonight was only gonna be us
Expectation of a private night shattered as others are present.
Hints I give seem to bounce right off
Attempts to drop hints go unnoticed or ignored.
They won’t leave I give up
Feeling defeated as others persist in staying.
Then I see it in the distance
Discovery of a positive element (ray of light) in a challenging situation.
A ray of light on the worst night ever
Optimism despite a difficult night.
One more shot for me to fix this
Desire for another chance to improve the situation.
Spin the wheel, like to steal a few kisses
Willingness to take risks for romantic moments.
We’ll be the carnival gods
Aspiring to be extraordinary and have a memorable experience.
Up up make out in the dark
Engaging in intimate activities in the dark.
get stuck we’re reaching the top
Facing challenges but determined to reach the pinnacle.
Slice of heaven in the parking lot
Finding a piece of paradise in an unexpected place (parking lot).
Cut the line, going high
Choosing a different path and defying norms.
Our friends are falling behind
Leaving behind conventional friends who can't keep up.
We’ll be the carnival gods
Reiteration of the desire to be extraordinary and god-like at the carnival.
I hope this ride never stops
Expressing a wish for the enjoyable experience to continue indefinitely.
They all hate it when we run ahead
Others disapprove when they take the lead.
The way I’m taking the attention off them
Being the center of attention and deflecting it from others.
biggest problem with the ones in your crowd
Identifying a major issue with those in the crowd—lack of understanding boundaries.
They can’t read: keep out
Emphasizing the need for privacy and exclusivity.
Then I see it in the distance
Rediscovery of positive elements, a chance for a better view.
A chance to get a better view of this town
Planning to seize the opportunity for a better perspective.
Gonna spend all of our tickets
Intent to fully enjoy and exhaust available opportunities.
Let’s you and me go one more round
Invitation for a romantic encounter for the two.
//OH they want to go home
Observation of others wanting to leave and contrasting them with the fun of the narrator.
They’re never that fun
Highlighting the dullness of those who want to leave.
But you and I we’re not done yet
Asserting that the narrator and the listener are not finished enjoying the night.
the clowns are upset
Recognition of discontent among others symbolized by clowns.
They’re all in your head
Stating that the negative thoughts are internal and not external.
C’mon Let’s ride this ride again
Encouragement to continue and relive the enjoyable experience.
