Carolin
Lin Lyrics

Ba-dap-ba-n-ba-da, dap-bap-ba-da
The instrumental opening of the song.

Carolin, oh Carolin
Addressing Carolin, the person the song is about.

You wear your life like a pair of fancy shoes
You carry yourself with elegance and style, presenting your life as something beautiful and valuable.

Keep it, keep it safe for a special use
Preserve and protect your life, saving it for a meaningful purpose or moment.

Mh, yeah, but
However, there is a contradiction or challenge.

In the time of millions of plans in your head
You have numerous ideas and goals swirling around in your mind.

Your head
Your mind is filled with thoughts and aspirations.

But you carry around that big old fearful man on your back
You are burdened by a metaphorical figure of fear and insecurity, constantly weighing you down.

On your back
This symbolizes the heavy presence of fear that you carry with you constantly.

And I can't make you home, if you're not
I cannot provide a sense of belonging or comfort to you if you are unwilling or unable to accept it.

But I'll try to make you feel home
Nevertheless, I will make an effort to create an atmosphere of warmth and familiarity for you.

And feel home with me
I hope that you can find a sense of belonging and ease in my presence.

Carolin, oh Carolin
Reiterating the focus on Carolin.

There are so many ways how to begin
There are numerous possibilities and paths to start anew or make a change.

That most of the times it seems easier to just give in
Sometimes, surrendering or giving up may appear to be the simpler option.

Mh, yeah but
Again, there is a contradiction or challenge.

Carolin, oh Carolin, you're on life, you cannot love, na-no
Carolin, you find yourself caught up in the busyness of life, unable to fully experience or embrace love.

You've gotta get out there, and
You need to step outside your comfort zone and actively engage with the world.

Build happiness on your own
Create your own happiness and fulfillment, independent of others.

On your own
Alone or without relying on anyone else.

'Cause I can't make you home, if you're not
I cannot provide a sense of belonging or comfort to you if you are unwilling or unable to accept it.

But I'll try to make you feel home
Nevertheless, I will make an effort to create an atmosphere of warmth and familiarity for you.

And feel home
I hope that you can find a sense of belonging and ease.

'Cause I can't make you home, if you're not
I cannot provide a sense of belonging or comfort to you if you are unwilling or unable to accept it.

But I'll try to make you feel home
Nevertheless, I will make an effort to create an atmosphere of warmth and familiarity for you.

And feel home with me
I hope that you can find a sense of belonging and ease in my presence.

'Cause Carolin, oh Carolin
Reiterating the focus on Carolin.

There are so many ways how to begin
There are numerous possibilities and paths to start anew or make a change.

That at times it's alright to give in
Occasionally, it is acceptable to surrender or yield.
