Grey Goose
Carousel Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Cause every time I fill my cup
It goes away, my motivation
It’s too bad you can’t see through the shady lies that hide behind my eyes
I’m just a tin man searching for something that I’ve never had
You just could never get that
So it goes, I’m the one left standing stranded
I keep on trying to stay awake
I’m staking out my own place
I’m counting stars to keep my head straight
I’m not saying sorry anymore
The lyrics of the song "Grey Goose" by Carousel Kings depict the struggles of the singer with addiction, a feeling of being taken for granted, and the desire to find something more. The opening line, "I’ve been thinking of giving up," shows the singer's frustration and struggle with their addiction to alcohol, as every time they try to overcome it, they lose motivation and revert to drinking again.
The next line, "‘Cause every time I fill my cup, it goes away, my motivation," further emphasizes the fleeting nature of motivation in the face of addiction. The metaphor of the "shady lies that hide behind my eyes" refers to the idea of hiding one's addiction from others, while the reference to being a "tin man searching for something that I’ve never had" highlights the singer's search for a deeper fulfillment that they have never found in their addiction.
In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they were once something that their partner could take for granted, but now they have been left stranded and alone. The lines, "I keep on trying to stay awake, I’m staking out my own place, I’m counting stars to keep my head straight," symbolize the singer's attempts to break free from their addiction and find their own path. The final line, "I’m not saying sorry anymore," indicates the singer's desire to no longer apologize for their struggles and instead find a way forward.

I’ve been thinking of giving up
I'm feeling discouraged and considering quitting
‘Cause every time I fill my cup
Whenever I try to find motivation or hope
It goes away, my motivation
It disappears and I feel hopeless again
It’s too bad you can’t see through the shady lies that hide behind my eyes
You can't see past my facade and the pain I hide
I’m just a tin man searching for something that I’ve never had
I'm looking for love, happiness, and fulfillment that I've never experienced
You just could never get that
You couldn't understand my struggles and what I needed
All along I was something you could always take for granted
You took me for granted and didn't appreciate my worth
So it goes, I’m the one left standing stranded
I'm left alone, abandoned by the people who used to be there for me
I keep on trying to stay awake
I continue to fight against giving up or falling asleep to the world's pain
I’m staking out my own place
I'm carving out my own path and purpose
I’m counting stars to keep my head straight
I use hope and inspiration to keep myself focused and strong
I’m not saying sorry anymore
I'm tired of apologizing for being myself or expressing my truth

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking of giving up
Cause every time I fill my cup
It goes away my motivation
It's too bad you can't take well
The sh**ty lies that hide behind my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just a tin man
Searching for something that I never had
You just could never get that
[Chorus]
All along
I was something you could always take for granted
So it goes
I'm the one left standing stranded
All along
I was something you could always take for granted
So it goes
I'm the one left standing stranded
[Verse 2]
I keep on trying to stay away
Sleeping at my own place
To keep my head straight
It's too bad you can't see through
The sh**ty lies that hide behind my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just a tin man
Searching for something that I never had
You just could never get that
[Chorus]
All along
I was something you could always take for granted
So it goes
I'm the one left standing stranded
All along
I was something you could always take for granted
So it goes
I'm the one left standing stranded
[Bridge]
I'm not saying sorry anymore
I'm not saying sorry anymore

most underrated new wave pop-punk band
Joseph Gleason
Man I love when Pop Punk Bands have such talented guitarists such as Sum 41's Dave Baksh and THIS GUY!! This solo totally rips and though it's short and not completely insane it's exactly what we need. I'm not a huge New Wave pop punk kinda guy but this band rocks

It's more Easycore than Pop Punk
Lord Dracc
@Nico 97 Easycore is just another word for Pop Punk bands when Metalcore and Post-Hardcore got popular.
