Carousel
Journey Through Unspoken Emotions: Carousel by The Stone Lows
Lyrics
It's an odd sort of way
Describing a peculiar manner or situation
When there's nothing to say
Acknowledging a lack of words or communication
But you know her
Despite the lack of words, there is a familiarity with the person being referred to
Not quite awake
Not fully alert or conscious
But not starting your day 'till it's over
Delaying the start of the day until it's practically over
Keeping a well-oiled heart
Maintaining emotional resilience
And coming too close to the start
Approaching the beginning cautiously
There's a long line of cars
Symbolic reference to past experiences or relationships
That have gone way too far to start over
Previous endeavors that went too far to reset
It was meant to be as it always has before, forever
Embracing the continuity of certain things as intended
There's some nice words left to stay
Positive sentiments remain, but challenges persist
But the slides are still in place
Important elements are still in place despite difficulties
Wherever they may be
Uncertainty about the location or status of these elements
But I'm keeping a well-oiled heart
Continued emotional resilience
And coming too close to the start
Approaching the beginning again cautiously
And there's a long line of cars
Reference to a history of experiences or relationships that went too far
That have gone way too far to start over
Reiterating the challenge of starting over
All right now
Expressing agreement or understanding
Oh my love
An affectionate expression, possibly addressing a partner
Did it have to be so different?
Reflecting on the differences in a relationship
It goes against reason
Challenging the logic of making commitments through acting
To make promises in method acting
Continuing the reflection on the nature of love and promises
Oh my love
Awareness of approaching silence or change
Can you hear the silence coming?
Recognizing the difficulty in perceiving silence
It's never that easy
Acknowledging the complexity of understanding change
To hear the turning around
Difficulty in recognizing the transformation of emotions
Of the love, the laughs
Reflecting on the various aspects of love, laughter, and passion
The hot in the head
Intensity and vividness of emotions
It's bright, it's red
Describing a moment or feeling that is vibrant and passionate
What was that you said?
Seeking clarification or repetition of a statement
And your face, your eyes
Noting the details of a person's face and eyes
And everything fine
Appreciating the completeness of a person or situation
Night after night
Repetition of experiences or emotions throughout the night
It's proximity wine
Intimacy symbolized by proximity and shared wine
It's alive and I'm dead
A contrast between liveliness and emotional numbness or detachment
What was that you said?
Seeking clarification or repetition of a statement
I was watching the traffic lights go green to red
Observing changes in traffic lights, possibly reflecting on life's transitions
As you keep growing colder
Noting a growing emotional distance
And I'm losing interest
Expressing a decline in interest or emotional investment
I'll do it again
Committing to a repetitive cycle despite challenges
But with new goddamn pictures
Expressing frustration or emphasis with the use of "goddamn"
