The Autumn Carnival
Autumn's Thrill: Unveiling the Carousel of Life
Lyrics
You come around to the autumn carnival
You visit the autumn carnival.
It's glowing like a jack-o-lantern on the hill
The carnival is bright and vibrant like a jack-o-lantern on a hill.
You should be younger now than you were then
Suggests a sense of rejuvenation or feeling younger than before.
Trading silver for thrill
Choosing excitement and experiences over material wealth.
You come around to the autumn carnival
Reiteration of visiting the autumn carnival.
There is a fog in the hall of mirrors
There's confusion or distortion in self-reflection, symbolized by a fog in mirrors.
The ghost of a tree line has jumped the track
A disruption in the natural order, possibly symbolized by a tree line out of place.
Like a carousel which is turning back
Comparing life to a carousel, hinting at cycles and repetitions.
Create all the things that you lack
Suggesting the power to create what is missing in life.
You can go there if you need
Encouragement to explore the carnival for fulfillment.
And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
The carnival is presented as a guaranteed remedy for personal issues.
Ferris wheel unshadows and shatters
Symbolic renewal as the Ferris wheel casts off shadows and breaks.
Across the ground into the eyes of the innocent
Imagery of innocence affected by the carnival's spectacle.
The carnie spits at the wax moon
A carnival worker expressing contempt towards something unnatural.
And all that hell that was gone too soon
Past troubles that disappeared too quickly.
And you can go there if you need
Reiteration of the carnival as a fix for personal issues.
And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
Reaffirmation of the carnival's guaranteed healing power.
Here comes the rain so you move inside
The rain symbolizes a change, prompting movement indoors.
There is no compass, there is no guide
Emphasizing the lack of clear direction or guidance.
And is no mask behind which to hide
No hiding behind a false identity or facade.
You come around to the autumn carnival
Repetition of the theme of visiting the autumn carnival.
You come around to the autumn carnival
Reiteration of the act of coming to the autumn carnival.
And you can take it if you need
Encouragement to take what the carnival offers as it is a guaranteed remedy.
'Cause it will fix, guaranteed
The assurance that the carnival will provide a fix, as guaranteed.
You come around to the autumn carnival
Repetition of coming to the autumn carnival, closing the lyrics.
