Carry Me Over
Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
(Tobias Sammet)
Never been told my prayers would be answered
Wherever I go I see you around
Never been told that something that beautiful
Would bring me up to let me down
Just to catch a glimpse of your face
Even when you're around
Still I'm out of sight, out of sound
In your world I'm out of place
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
You're like a ghost that I can't let go
You follow every step that I take
Never thought someone could be too close to you
Now across the street is miles away
And now I might as well be the man on the moon
I am watching but you don't seem aware
But I won't be around
I'll be out of sight, out of sound
Someone's gonna wait, somewhere
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
The lyrics to Avantasia's "Carry Me Over" explore the feeling of unrequited love and the emotional struggle that comes with it. Tobias Sammet sings about never being told that his prayers would be answered, but seeing the person he loves everywhere he goes. He describes this person as something that is truly beautiful yet brings him up only to let him down.
The singer of the song is so desperate for even just a glimpse of this person that he waits up on the roof in the rain just to catch a glimpse of their face. Despite being around this person, he still feels out of sight and out of sound, never fitting in their world, making him feel like he's out of place. He pleads to be carried over, presumably to a world where he can be with this person and fit in.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Carry Me Over" over and over again, emphasizing the singer's need to be taken away from his current world and carried to one where he can be with the person he loves. The bridge describes the person he loves as a ghost he can't let go of, following every step he takes, and being too close yet miles away.
Overall, "Carry Me Over" is a heartbreaking but relatable portrayal of unrequited love and the desire that comes with it.

Waiting up on the roof, waiting up in the rain
Just to catch a glimpse of your face

[Chorus:]
Carry me over, carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over, carry me over
Carry me over now
You're like a ghost that I can't let go

I am watching but you don't seem aware
And I won't be around
I'll be out of sight, out of sound
Someone's gonna wait somewhere
[Chorus x3]

I have been in a similar situation like this guy. I hereby appeal to everyone. PLEASE, try not to fall in love with people that don't return the attention you give. No, they are not busy, no they are not shy, or any else imaginary characteristic you think they might have. Truth is, they are either in love with someone else or not into you. It's that cruel and simple. Take a step back before it plagues your mind, and trust me, that is going to hurt. A lot.
@joeygratzer210
Oh believe me, I know how it feels, I've been there too.
@raxalis1025
I know that too
@funekproduction4149
Same here...
@fritztraubeneiche3395
The song intention is not to waste time to take contact to someone you may love not more.
@roldirevan2130
It doesn't have to hurt if you love yourself enough. Once you get to realize that, you have won.
