Carousel
Embracing the Carousel of Love: Stevie Nicks' Melodic Wisdom
Lyrics
For all you broken-hearted lovers lost
Addressing those who have suffered heartbreak and lost love
Go find another one
Encouragement to seek another love
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
Time is passing and opportunities should not be missed
White rabbits on the run
Reference to the idea of luck, possibly a reminder of being timely
It's hard to know what's good for you
The challenge of discerning what's best for oneself
I know she let you down
Acknowledgment of someone letting another person down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
Relief from distress when it becomes overwhelming
So you can put your weapons down
Suggesting to let go of defenses or grudges
And all you'll hear is the music
Emphasis on the power of music
And beauty stands before you
Presence of beauty in the current moment
And love comes back around again
Love's cyclical nature, returning again
It's a carousel, my friend
Metaphorically likening life to a carousel, a cycle
Never too late to change the pace
Encouragement for change at any point in life
Oh how the days creep up on you
Days passing by unnoticed, the need to be aware of time
And the goodness is something you don't have to chase
Goodness and positivity naturally following
'Cause it's following you
Suggesting that positivity finds you, no need to chase it
And all you'll hear is the music
Reiteration of the influence of music
And beauty stands before you now
Recognition of beauty in the present moment
And love comes back around again
Love's recurrent nature, returning again
It's a carousel, my friend
Reaffirming the carousel metaphor for life's cycles
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,ooh, ooh
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Perception of hearing a familiar voice during a storm
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
Symbolic association with an owl creating a mystical atmosphere
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Reiteration of hearing a familiar voice in the midst of chaos
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
Reference to being under a magical influence
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Continued perception of a familiar voice in turbulent times
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
Reiteration of being under an enchantment
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Repeated perception of a known voice amid chaos
It's the owl casting spells that we're under, under
Emphasis on being under an otherworldly spell
And all I hear is the music
Personal connection to the power of music
And beauty stands before me
Recognition of beauty in the personal experience
And love comes back around again
Love's return in personal life cycles
It's a carousel, my friend
Restating life as a carousel of experiences
It's in the music
Emphasis on the role of music in life's moments
And beauty stands before you
Recognition of beauty in the broader world
And love comes back around again
Love's cyclic nature on a universal scale
It's a carousel, a carousel
Reiteration of life as a carousel for everyone
A carousel, my friend yeah
Confirmation of the carousel metaphor for all
Time won't wait, so don't be late
Reminder that time doesn't wait, urging prompt action
White rabbits on the run
Reiteration of the reference to luck and timeliness</
