Carnival
Unveiling Life's Carnival: A Journey Through Streets of Revelation
Lyrics
Well, I've walked these streets
Reflecting on familiarity with these streets
A virtual stage, it seemed to me
Viewing life as a performance, an illusion
Makeup on their faces
People masking their true selves
Actors took their places next to me
Others assuming roles around the speaker
Well, I've walked these streets
Reiterating experience on these streets
In a carnival, of sights to see
Describing the streets as a lively, diverse carnival
All the cheap thrill seekers vendors and the dealers
Mentions of thrill-seekers and commerce
They crowded around me
Feeling surrounded by this atmosphere
Have I been blind have I been lost
Questioning personal awareness and direction
Inside myself and my own mind
Contemplating internal disorientation
Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?
Being captivated by what's witnessed
Well, I've walked these streets
Observing stark societal contrasts
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
Contrasting wealth and poverty
In the diamond markets the scarlet welcome carpet
Specifically referencing opulent markets
That they just rolled out for me
Receiving a grand welcome despite self-perceived differences
And I've walked these streets
Continuing experiences in different settings
In the madhouse asylum they can be
Referencing chaos and eccentricity
Where a wild-eyed misfit prophet
Encountering an unconventional guide
On a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me
The guide's proclamation about salvation
Have I been blind, have I been lost
Reiterating the introspective questioning
Inside myself and my own mind
Internal confusion and disorientation
Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen
Being spellbound by observed events
Have I been wrong, have I been wise
Reflecting on past choices and actions
To shut my eyes and play along
Considering the act of ignoring reality
Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found
Being entranced and unable to act
By what my eyes have seen
Impact of observed occurrences
What they have seen?
Reiterating the impact of visual experiences
Have I been blind
Repeating the self-query on perception
Have I been lost
Reiterating confusion and disorientation
Have I been wrong
Repeating introspection on past actions
Have I been wise
Reflecting on wisdom in decisions made
Have I been strong
Questioning personal strength and resilience
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have found
Continuing fascination with observed events
In that great street carnival
Referring again to the street carnival
Have I been blind
Reiterating introspective questioning
Have I been lost
Reiterating confusion and disorientation
Have I been wrong
Repeating introspection on past actions
Have I been wise
Reflecting on wisdom in decisions made
Have I been strong
Questioning personal strength and resilience
Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have found
Continuing fascination with observed events
In that great street carnival
Reiterating the impact of visual experiences
In that carnival
Concluding reference to the carnival
