Lyrics

Back on the carousel

Returning to a repetitive and cyclical pattern in a relationship.

Impossible

Expressing a sense of difficulty or impossibility in breaking the cycle.

I see your eyes

Noticing the partner's understanding or awareness.

They know where I go

Acknowledging that the partner knows the narrator's path or choices.


Spin my heart around and 'round

Describing the emotional turmoil caused by the repetitive cycle.

Flying and I can't come down

Feeling elevated and unable to return to a normal emotional state.

Yeah, I'm high as hell

Being in a state of emotional intensity or intoxication.

And I can't let go

Expressing difficulty in breaking free from the emotional intensity.

Oh, carousel

Reiterating the metaphor of a carousel, emphasizing the circular nature of the relationship.


Spinning around

Describing the cyclical motion and repetition in the relationship.

Back in your arms

Returning to the partner's embrace within the cycle.

You never say

Pointing out a lack of honesty in communication.

The truth, so I stay

Choosing to stay despite the absence of truth.


Spinning, I'm so strung out

Feeling emotionally exhausted and dependent on the cycle.

Wired me, I can't get down

Being stimulated or affected in a way that prevents detachment.

Yeah, I'm high as hell

Experiencing heightened emotions and struggling to let go.

And I can't let go

Reiterating the difficulty in breaking free from the intense emotions.

Oh, carousel

Emphasizing the carousel as a metaphor for the ongoing emotional cycle.


Never ached like this (never ached like this)

Expressing an unprecedented level of emotional pain.

Never hurt like this (never hurt like this)

Highlighting the intensity of emotional suffering.

Oh, carousel

Repeating the carousel metaphor in connection with pain.

I'm under your spell (I'm under your spell)

Acknowledging being under the influence or control of the partner.

Hurts like hell (hurts like hell)

Stressing the severe and agonizing nature of the emotional influence.

Oh, carousel

Repeating the carousel metaphor and the associated pain.

Never ached like this (never ached like this)

Reiterating the unprecedented emotional distress.

Never hurt like this (never hurt like this)

Reiterating the intense emotional suffering.

Oh, carousel

Repeating the carousel metaphor in connection with the intense emotional experience.

I'm under your spell (I'm under your spell)

Acknowledging being under the influence or control of the partner.

Hurts like hell (hurts like hell)

Stressing the severe and agonizing nature of the emotional influence.

Oh, carousel

Repeating the carousel metaphor and the associated pain.
