Carolina Deslandes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we forgot how we got, here
And now it feels like we are done
We're too tired from this war, babe
Your heart sat into mine
I wish we had more time
But you spin me round and round
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
I can't even tell right from wrong
I don't know what I'm holdin' on
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
When the mask you wear comes off
I see behind the lies you sold me
And now it feels like we can't stop
And I can't take it anymore, babe
Your heart sat into mine
I wish we had more time
But you spin me round and round
You're never gonna let me down
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
I can't even tell right from wrong
I don't know what I'm holdin' on
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
You should take me off
Dizzy
I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy
Now
You should take me off
You should take me off of your carousel
You should take me off
I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy
Right no-o-o-ow
You should take me off
You should take me off of your carousel
But you spin me round and round
You're never gonna let me down
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
From your Caro-aro
Carousel
I can't even tell right from wrong
I don't know what I'm holdin' on
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
To your Caro-aro
Carousel
The song "Carousel" by Carolina Deslandes is a powerful and emotional ballad about a relationship that has lost its spark, but the singer is still struggling to let go. The chorus's lines "From your Caro-aro, Carousel" refer to the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending cycle of love and heartbreak, represented by a carnival ride that goes round and round. The opening lines of the song reveal that the relationship used to be fun and exciting, but somehow, they lost their way and feel exhausted from the war they have been fighting. Despite this, the singer is still holding on to a glimmer of hope that they can rediscover the love they once had.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer has been deceived by their partner, who has worn a mask and sold them lies. The "mask" represents the facade, or the false self, that some people put on to hide their true emotions and intentions. The singer sees behind the mask and realizes that the relationship cannot go on as it has. The repetition of "Take me off of your carousel" emphasizes that the singer is ready to get off the ride and move on from the relationship. But, the repeated lines "From your Caro-aro, Carousel" in the chorus suggest that the singer still feels stuck and can't let go of the memories.
Overall, "Carousel" encapsulates the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that was once beautiful but has now soured. The chorus's repetition of the ride's name emphasizes that the singer feels they're being taken for a ride, unable to exit the cycle of love and heartbreak.

This used to be so much fun
At one point in time, this situation brought enjoyment
But we forgot how we got, here
Unfortunately, the reason for this current situation escapes us
And now it feels like we are done
As it stands, it seems like this is the end of the road for us
We're too tired from this war, babe
We're exhausted from fighting and arguing, my love
Your heart sat into mine
Our hearts used to beat as one, but now they're out of sync
I wish we had more time
I regret that we're out of chances to make this work
But you spin me round and round
You constantly keep me going in circles
You're never gonna let me down
No matter what, I can always count on you to keep me caught up in this cycle
I can't even tell right from wrong
I'm not sure what the correct course of action is anymore
I don't know what I'm holdin' on
It's unclear to me what keeps me holding on to this relationship
When the mask you wear comes off
Once the façade is removed
I see behind the lies you sold me
I can see the truth behind the falsehoods you presented
And now it feels like we can't stop
It seems like we're stuck in this predicament
And I can't take it anymore, babe
I've reached my breaking point, my love
You should take me off
I need to be removed from this situation
Dizzy
I'm feeling disoriented and unstable
I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy
I'm so dizzy that it's affecting my well-being
Now
Right away
From your Caro-aro
All of this is happening because of you
Carousel
We're stuck in a loop that never seems to end
To your Caro-aro
It's all about you and your influence
You should take me off of your carousel
I need to be removed from this continuous cycle you have me in
