Carousel
Hannah Fury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would have loved to see you grow old, friend
I would have loved to know you 'till the end
I would have loved to see you smile again
I would have loved to watch you turn grey
I would have loved to have just one more day
But all I know is that you've gone away
But I, I swear that I can hear you say...
Don't worry, don't be sad
Think of the time we had
There is no future or past
And life is not meant to last
Life is crucial surgery
A shard of glass pulled from a heart that bleeds
And sometimes like a barroom fight
So keep throwing punches 'till you get it right
Life is like a carousel
It'll make you dizzy
It will spin like hell
Life is a clear blue stream
It's everything you mean
Yet nothing but a dream
Where things are not quite like they seem
And when you get it, that's when
You'll see me again




When you get it, that's when
You'll see me again

Overall Meaning

The song "Carousel" by Hannah Fury is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to a lost friend. The singer expresses her deep regret at not being able to witness her friend grow old and experience the joys of life. She longs for just one more day with her friend, but knows that she has gone away. However, she feels her friend's presence and hears her voice telling her not to worry, to think of the good times they had, and to remember that life is not meant to last.


The lyrics then take a philosophical turn as the singer compares life to crucial surgery, a shard of glass being pulled from a bleeding heart, and a barroom fight. She encourages the listener to keep fighting until they get it right, and sees life as a carousel that will make you dizzy and spin you around. However, life is also a clear blue stream that is everything you mean, yet nothing but a dream where things are not quite as they seem. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer assures the listener that when they finally understand the meaning of life, they will see their lost loved one again.


Overall, "Carousel" is a poignant and introspective song that explores the beauty and fleeting nature of life, and the inevitability of loss and grief. It encourages the listener to cherish the moments they have, to keep fighting and striving, and to hold onto hope even in the face of heartbreak.
