Carousel Blues
Echoes of Betrayal: Carousel Blues Unveiled
Lyrics
You said you wanted a friend, yea
You expressed a desire for companionship, a friend.
You gave it all you had to give, them
You devoted all your effort and resources to fulfill that desire.
Told me that you wanted it, yea
You communicated your wish clearly.
But then we went from bend to break in
Our relationship moved from a flexible state to a point of rupture.
You said you wanted a friend, yea
You reiterated your desire for companionship, a friend.
You gave it all you had to give, them
Repeated dedication and commitment to fulfill that desire.
the knife in your back cuts you dull and slow, breathe in deep and hope they let go
Metaphorical reference to betrayal causing ongoing pain and slow healing; seeking relief and release.
I can't get away from everything
Feeling unable to escape from overwhelming circumstances or emotions.
I can't awake from every dream
Struggling to detach from recurring thoughts or aspirations.
That brings me back to blue
Returning to a state of sadness or melancholy.
Carousel blues
Referring to a feeling of melancholy or sadness experienced repeatedly (Carousel Blues).
You said you wanted a friend but you gave no love
You claimed to seek friendship but did not reciprocate love.
Offered it all but I wasn't enough
You offered everything, yet your efforts were insufficient.
Steal my plate before I'm fed
A metaphorical expression indicating deprivation or theft of one's needs before fulfillment.
Set a fire beneath my head
Expresses intense emotional distress or pressure.
I'll watch you cave in
Observing someone's collapse or downfall.
It's easy to leave but it's hard to forget
Leaving a situation is simple, but the memories are difficult to erase.
It's harder to change than it is to regret
Changing oneself is more challenging than feeling remorse for past actions.
