Carnival
Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey: Carnival by Jeremy Enigk Explored
Lyrics
What were my intentions in time will bring good
Reflecting on past intentions that will eventually lead to positive outcomes over time.
and so we'll make this our own paradise
Expressing a desire to create a personal paradise with someone, suggesting a shared ideal space.
where blue eyes should look
Emphasizing the importance of blue eyes in a visual context, possibly symbolic of clarity or sincerity.
so i played again to lay down myself
Playing music again as a way to express oneself and find solace.
the lines made me perfect and came then
Describing how external influences or experiences contribute to personal growth and perfection.
the light gave me dark
Highlighting the transformative power of light, turning something bright into darkness.
threw myself in your door
Metaphorically throwing oneself into a relationship or a situation, taking a risk.
you stared at me with those eyes
Recalling a moment where someone looked at the speaker with intense eyes, possibly indicating a significant encounter.
and caught your disease
Suggesting that the speaker contracted or absorbed something negative from the intense gaze, like a metaphorical "disease."
then swallowed ideas to skin
Swallowing ideas to form a protective outer layer, possibly to cope with the negativity mentioned earlier.
and left standing there
Left in a vulnerable position after internalizing protective measures, standing exposed emotionally.
and so we'll make this your own paradise
Reiterating the desire to create a personal paradise, possibly with a sense of determination.
where all eyes would stare
Imagining a scenario where all eyes are focused on the created paradise, suggesting a shared vision or achievement.
so i played again to lay down myself
Returning to the act of playing music as a form of self-expression and emotional release.
the lines made me perfect and came then
Reaffirming the idea that external influences contribute to personal growth and perfection.
the light gave me dark.
Stressing the dual nature of experiences, where light (positive) can also bring darkness (challenges or negativity).
