Carousel
Bamboo Lyrics

Picture perfect
Life seems just like a perfect picture

Starting to hold on
Beginning to take control of life

To these new eyes
Viewing life in a new light

My (my) worlds drawn out in crayon
Childhood memories or past experiences that are easy to remember and are depicted as colourful and bright

All the lives we come across
Meeting new people and experiencing different life experiences

We shine a light to see our own
By interacting with others and learning from their life experiences, our own life becomes clearer

Remember back to every story told
Reflecting on memories and past experiences shared and told by others

Who you were
Recalling the person you were before

Before the rush hour
Before getting caught up in the chaos of life and responsibilities

Carousel
Life is like a carousel, with ups and downs, but also opportunities to see new things and experiences

Dared to see the world
Being brave enough to explore the world

With your own two eyes
Experiencing life firsthand without the influence of others

So you've made mistakes
Acknowledging past mistakes and learning from them

Now who's wide awake
Reawakening and taking control of life again

It's a tidal wave
Changes can come suddenly and dramatically

Our worlds collide
The collision of different life experiences and people

Become one in the starlight
In the midst of everything, finding a common ground or goal to pursue together

Forget perfect endings
Realize that perfect endings don’t exist and embrace the imperfections of life

Let's dare and live for the day
Make the most of each day and take advantage of opportunities as they come

Today's like no other
Every day is unique

Words come alive
Memories and stories become vivid in the present

In the story of our time
In the narrative of our lives

Let's all quit pretending
Stop pretending to be someone we are not

Hit a wall
Encounter a difficult obstacle or experience

But there ain't no shutting this door
Determined to keep going despite setbacks

We're gonna live
Choosing to keep moving forward and live life to the fullest

Keep faith
Staying optimistic and hopeful

We gonna soar soar soar
Striving to reach new heights and achieve our goals

To a higher ground
Reaching a better state of being or achieving higher levels of success

We charge to claim our own
Taking charge of our lives to achieve our own goals and desires

Hello world
Welcoming new experiences or opportunities

Forget what's the play
Letting go of preconceptions or expectations

But we're gonna look to shake this rust away
Challenging ourselves to overcome weaknesses and improve

'Cause I'm just gonna live my life
Choosing to live life according to one's own desires and goals

Pick up the pieces
Starting over after experiencing a loss or setback

Of what's been left behind
Acknowledging the past but not dwelling on it

Bring back the memories
Remembering the good times and fond memories

Of that special time
Remembering a specific moment or event in one's life

No doubt
Confident and sure

No fear
Brave and unafraid

No question I know what's gotten me here
Knowing exactly what has led to one’s current situation

My sweet escape
A happy or pleasant personal refuge from the stresses of life

Hello long goodbyes
Acknowledging the end of something, but also acknowledging the new beginnings that will come after

Remember who you are
Recalling one's true self and identity

I am, I am, I am
Reaffirming and solidifying one's own identity and sense of self

Home
Feeling a sense of belonging and comfort

Between wish and the waiting
In the period of waiting and anticipation between making a wish and seeing it come true
