Carrousel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say is the last time
That don't mean a thing
How can you complain when you walk down to me
I say is not . you were not listening
We wanted to be something we are not
We are going the . side . like the rain
We don't touch a . fell aside
Compare the times on . far away
Now that you found where you wanted to go
Singing . goodbye, my love
You had my heart on three persons .burry my heart on three person
You had my heart on three persons .burry my heart on three person
You had my heart on three persons .burry my heart on three person
Baby you stole my heart
you stole my heart you stole my heart you stole my heart




Baby you stole my heart
you stole my heart you stole my heart you stole my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carrousel's song "14" appear to be about two people who were in a relationship together but have ultimately realized that they are not meant to be together. In the first verse, one person is saying that this is the last time they will see each other but the other person doesn't seem to take it seriously, perhaps indicating that they are the one who is more invested in the relationship. In the second verse, the singer says that they told the other person that they weren't listening to them, suggesting that maybe they were trying to communicate their feelings and needs but the other person wasn't receptive. They both realize that they wanted to be something they are not and are heading in different directions like rain falling in opposite directions.


The chorus of the song repeats several times, with the singer lamenting that the other person stole their heart, ultimately burying it with three people. This seems like a metaphor for the fact that the singer gave their heart to this person fully, but in the end, it was not reciprocated and they are left feeling broken-hearted. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye to their love.


Overall, the lyrics of "14" seem to be about the pain of breaking up with someone you thought you loved deeply but ultimately realizing that you were never meant to be together. It is a poignant reminder of the fact that love can be complicated and painful, but ultimately we can move on and find new love.

Singing a farewell, my love

My dear, you took away my heart

You took away my heart thrice
