Carousels
Carousels of Life: Navigating Shadows and Rainbows in the Journey of Existence
Lyrics
I got no clue
I am clueless about something.
But I got a lotta time
I have a lot of time available.
I'm making sense
I make sense or have a clear understanding.
'Til I need it again
This clarity disappears until I need it again.
Everything's expanded
Things become expansive.
Then it shrinks again
Then they contract or shrink again.
I solve a problem
I solve a problem.
Comes back tenfold
The problem returns with greater intensity.
Can't pretend to remember
I cannot pretend to remember information.
What I am told
I struggle to recall what I am told.
I remember when you used to ride your bike around
Recollection of a past time when someone rode a bike.
Now the sun is setting and all we can do is pray
The present is challenging, and hope is expressed through prayer.
For a better tomorrow
Hoping for a better future.
You never get the chance to wipe the past away
It's impossible to erase the past.
Carousels
Introduction of the theme of carousels.
Turnin' around and around again
Life's repetitive cycles turning again and again.
Wishing wells
Reference to deceptive desires or aspirations.
Everything's a lie again
Skepticism about the truth in everything.
Burning rainbows
Contrast between vibrant rainbows and shadows.
And shadows on the wall
A disbelief in fairy tales.
I never believed
Expressing skepticism or doubt.
In fairy tales
Questioning belief in idealistic stories.
But I don't know
Uncertainty about categorizing the situation.
If you would call this
Uncertain if the situation qualifies as a happy ending.
A happy ending
Doubtful about the conclusion being positive.
You are all alone
A sense of loneliness or isolation.
Still remember when we used to ride our bikes around
Recollection of another time riding bikes together.
Now I know that some things are lost and that's okay
Acceptance of losses and the inevitability of some things being lost.
Because it's never tomorrow
Recognition that the future is uncertain.
You only ever get to be alive today
Emphasis on living in the present moment.
So you spend your life
Life is spent pursuing unattainable goals.
Tryin' to ride the stars
An attempt to reach for unreachable dreams or aspirations.
N'then you wake up one day
Realization of a mundane reality after pursuing grand dreams.
Thinkin' why'm I livin' in a car
Questioning the purpose of existence.
And your car won't start
Encountering obstacles and setbacks.
And you remember yesterday
Recollection of a more optimistic past.
When you thought to yourself
Reflecting on a previous optimistic mindset.
Things are gonna be the worst today
Anticipation of a challenging day.
