Love Is the Answer
Carnival Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not so cold
Breathing is the only sound
Love, love, love, love, love
The sun is hanging low
Low, low
You said what you meant
It sounded so bold
But it became clear
Love is the answer
The thrill of it all
Tingling in your bones
Love is the answer
It's time to let go
Our footprints are fading into the snow
Lay your feet on the ground
In your white clothes
The ice won't reach the deep waters
Love, love, love, love, love
The tides will carry on
Love is the answer
The thrill of it all
Tingling in your bones
Love is the answer
It's time to let go
Our footprints are fading into the snow 2x
The song "Love is the Answer" by Carnival Youth comes across as a song that is encouraging people to embrace the idea of love. The first verse is an invitation to listen to the sounds of nature and ignore the coldness of the world. The only sound one needs to hear is the sound of their breath, which in a way is a reminder to slow down and take things as they come. The singer acknowledges that someone said something that sounded bold, but it eventually became clear that love is the answer.
The second verse talks about being anchored on the ground, dressed in white, and surrounded by ice, implying a sense of peaceful serenity, which contrasts with the harsh and cold tone that dominates the rest of the world. The tide will carry on, perhaps symbolizing the ever-flowing essence of love that is powerful enough to break down even the iciest barriers. The repeated chorus emphasizes the importance of love, more like an assurance that love is the key to enjoying life and moving forward.
In summary, the song is a call to follow a path that is based on love and to trust that it will guide and protect us even in harsh environments.

Our footprints are fading into the snow
Our time here is limited; we should make the most of it and leave a positive impact
In your white clothes
Symbolic of purity, innocence, and new beginnings
The ice won't reach the deep waters
Difficulties and challenges won't affect our inner selves if we go deep enough
The tides will carry on
Life will continue moving forward, regardless of what happens
