Spinning Stories of Life: Carousel by lifeofkwasi Unveiled
Lyrics
Spending money on some things that we don't really need
Expressing dissatisfaction with spending money on unnecessary things.
My G calling me his blood but we don't really bleed
Highlighting a close relationship with someone ("G") without experiencing the same struggles.
I can't ever sell my soul, I only sow seeds We can read all about it like I'm pro green
Commitment to maintaining integrity and not compromising values.
Yeah I'm pro-green, chilling out the countryside And these carousels be spinning out the dark
Relaxing in the countryside, juxtaposed with the challenges represented by spinning carousels.
tonight
Emphasizing the darkness or challenges faced in the current situation.
Trying to transform myself like I'm Ironhide
Desire for personal transformation, using the metaphor of "Ironhide" (a Transformer character).
I hope we do enough to see you on the other side
Expressing hope that efforts will lead to positive outcomes in the future.
I'm spending so much time on this old carousel I don't know why
Confusion and frustration about spending excessive time on a metaphorical carousel.
If the sky falls, hope it ain't my fault If the sky falls, hope it ain't my fault
Expressing a desire not to be blamed if something goes wrong, specifically if the "sky falls."
I'm spending so much time on this old carousel I don't know why
-If the sky falls, hope it ain't my fault If the sky falls, hope it ain't my fault
-If the sky falls, I really hope it isn't my fault

Cos all I see is fireworks, it's like I'm Guy Fawkes
Comparing life to fireworks, possibly symbolizing unpredictability and chaos.
All I see is fireworks, it's like I'm Katy Perry
-And these burdens on my chest, man, it's been getting heavy
Acknowledging heavy emotional burdens.
And my eyes all square from watching too much telly
Physical impact of excessive TV watching, with "eyes all square."
There's a hunger in my heart that's spreading to my belly
Expressing a growing hunger or ambition.
I hope they get me, I don't know if they gon' get me
Uncertainty about potential challenges and consequences.
I got waves up in my hair but I ain't ever ride no jet ski
Reference to a stylish appearance without experiencing certain luxuries.
I've been singing on my own, Primez help me turn this to medleys
Asking for support in turning personal experiences into a harmonious whole (medleys).
Mad transition, there's no wonder I feel empty
Feeling a lack of fulfillment despite significant life changes.
My music makes me dumber and I ain't talking Jeffrey
Acknowledging potential negative effects of music on intellect.
I ain't fit for all these bright lights like I got epilepsy
Expressing discomfort with fame or attention.
I know you tried to cuff me but these feds could not arrest me
Asserting resistance against legal trouble.
Life's very own theme park where my G's are
Metaphorically describing life as a theme park, emphasizing the importance of companionship ("G's").
I just know that lights always shine where my G's are

I'm spending so much time on this old carousel I don't know why
