He grew up playing guitar and singing for anyone who would listen. His impressive skills are proof of long hours spent producing music at a bluegrass recording studio coupled with his passion for making music that make people feel like drinking whiskey around a campfire.
MyKey is underway with writing, recording, producing, mixing, and mastering his second full length album in his LA residence. Inspired by Tyler, The Creator’s honest and daring style, this album will be a mix of MyKey’s folk sound with more modern production and pop elements. In addition he’ll be debuting new stop-motion animation videos for each track.
Technicolor Carnival
Mykey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you walk away from what seems to be the solution
Those lips are meant for speaking
Of which I can never do with you
So cut short the banter and let loose all emotions
However, I see you against the wall
Telling me to join, to join them all
Let's never return to our technicolor carnival
Who's that knocking at the door
I can't wait one minute more
Something's spreading through the air
And I feel it in my bones
One courtesy call
Could of been all that I need
I wish that I could understand love
I wish that I could understand your love
In times of trouble could make us better believe
However, I see you in my head
Telling me to try and try again
Well you've been a fool for me, oh
Let's never return to our technicolor carnival
I wish that I could understand love
I wish that I could understand your love
In times of trouble could make us better believe
Oh, oh, oh...
Keep the negative of my dream
So this world remains in you and me
In Mykey's song Technicolor Carnival, the lyrics start off with a promise of secrecy and confidentiality as the singer assures his love interest that their secrets are safe with him. It seems that the subject of the song has walked away from a solution and the singer wishes to speak to them, but due to some constraint, he can't. The lyrics then move on to an invitation to let loose and express all of their emotions instead of wasting time on mundane things.
In the chorus, the singer abruptly changes gears, revealing his anger towards his love interest for something they did. The subject of the song invites the singer to abandon all their worries and join them but the singer refuses, stating that they had been foolish previously. He hopes to never return to their "technicolor carnival" - likely a metaphor for their past relationship.
The second verse starts with an urgent knocking sound that the singer wishes would stop. The lyrics mention the feeling of something spreading through the air and the singer experiences it in his bones. The lyrics then move to a wish to better understand love and the subject's love in particular. The final line is a request to keep the negative of the singer's dream so the world can remain in their union.
Overall, the lyrics of Technicolor Carnival convey a sense of frustration and a turbulent relationship that has gone through its ups and downs. The singer wishes to express himself but seems to be held back by some constraint, perhaps some fear or anxiety. The song ends on a somewhat hopeful note though, as the singer requests that they work things out and make things better.
