Carousel
Unraveling the Dance of Life: A Carousel of Obsessions
Lyrics
She stands like a clarion call for disaster
She embodies a strong and irresistible appeal that leads to trouble.
Never stays for the break of a beautiful mind
She doesn't stay for the emergence of a brilliant and positive mindset.
And there's no one home
No one is present, creating a sense of emptiness or abandonment.
And no way to know what it takes to ever outlast her
It's impossible to predict what it requires to surpass her or endure her presence.
She sings with the Sirens' song of distraction
She sings with the alluring but dangerous distraction of the Sirens.
Never plays it safe, never asks for time
She takes risks and never seeks permission or waits for an opportune moment.
And she's all her own
She is unique and independent, challenging preconceived notions.
And everything you think you know is just another abstraction
Everything known about her is just a conceptualization, not the reality.
And I can't see a thing in the sunshine
The speaker can't see clearly in the brightness of positivity.
But I don't want to close my eyes
Despite the challenges, the speaker doesn't want to avoid reality.
Spent my whole life running around
The speaker has spent a lifetime constantly moving.
Like a carousel horse just nowhere bound
Similar to a carousel horse, the speaker feels directionless and trapped.
And I don't see this ride slowing down
The speaker doesn't foresee this chaotic journey coming to a halt.
And I can't touch the ground
The speaker can't find a stable footing or grounding.
No I can't touch the ground
Reiteration of the inability to find a solid foundation.
She schemes Rabelaisian dreams to perfection
She crafts extravagant and indulgent dreams flawlessly.
Never claims the blame, crossing over the line
She never takes responsibility, crossing boundaries without remorse.
And there's no one home
Similar to line 3, emphasizing the absence of anyone.
And anything that nobody knows becomes another obsession
Anything unknown to others becomes an intense preoccupation for her.
And I can't see a thing in the sunshine
Similar to line 9, inability to perceive in the brightness of positivity.
But I don't want to close my eyes
Despite challenges, the speaker prefers facing reality with open eyes.
Spent my whole life running around
Reiteration of a lifetime spent in constant motion.
Like a carousel horse just nowhere bound
Continued feeling of being directionless and without purpose.
And I don't see this ride slowing down
The speaker doesn't anticipate a pause or resolution in this tumultuous journey.
And I can't touch the ground
The speaker struggles to find stability or solid ground.
No I can't touch the ground
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle to find a stable foundation.
