Reality Check Lyrics

Carousel, carousel, carousel
Repetitive line to emphasize the ongoing cycle of sin.

In this world of make believe
The singer lives in a world where they deceive themselves.

My eyes see what I want to see
The singer only sees what they want to see, rather than the truth.

I'm blinded with the simple lies
The artist is deceived by everyday, easily acceptable lies.

So easily I justify
The artist easily finds a way to make their sinful behavior seem justified.

The sin that comes so naturally
The singer engages in sinful behavior without thinking twice.

Is this all that I'll ever be
The singer wonders if they will always be stuck in this cycle of sin.

Bring this madness to an end
The artist wants to stop their cycle of sinful behavior.

Don't let this cycle start again
The artist urges themselves not to fall back into their cycle of sin.

It's got me spinning 'round
The artist's cycle of sin feels like they're spinning out of control.

And I can hardly tell
The singer is disoriented and not sure which way is up or down.

Which way is up or down
The artist feels lost and confused.

On my sin carousel
The singer is caught in a never-ending cycle of sin.

It's got me out of control
The singer's cycle of sin has taken over their life.

And I want to jump off
The singer wants to escape their cycle of sin.

Somebody stop this ride
The artist wants someone else to intervene and help them stop their cycle of sin.

Spinning 'round, up and down
The artist's cycle of sin has them moving in circles.

But I know it's alright
The singer knows they will be okay despite their struggles.

Move ahead, falling back
The singer feels like they're making progress but then regressing back into their cycle of sin.

Try to leave it behind
The artist wants to move on from their cycle of sin.

Seems I've been here before
The artist has experienced this cycle of sin before.

So familiar I can tell
The artist recognizes their cycle of sin because it's happened before.

Need your help to get off
The singer needs help from someone else to break free from their cycle of sin.

It's suffice to say I move
The artist is motivated by someone else's strength to break free from their cycle of sin.

Because of your great fortitude
The singer is motivated by the strength and determination of another person.

So unstable are my feet
The singer feels unsteady and unable to break free from their cycle of sin on their own.

They love to make a fool of me
The singer feels like their sinful behavior is mocking them and making them look foolish.

Afraid to fall I feel corrupt
The artist is scared to fail and continue in their cycle of sin, and feels guilty for their behavior.

And as I drop, you pick me up
The artist relies on someone else to lift them up when they falter in their struggle against their cycle of sin.

Take me were I've never been
The singer wants to break free from their cycle of sin and experience a new, better life.

Spinning 'round, up and down
The singer's cycle of sin is still ongoing.

Down
Repetitive line to emphasize the artist's hopelessness in their cycle of sin.

Carousel, carousel
Repetitive line to emphasize the ongoing cycle of sin.

Spinning 'round, up and down
The artist's cycle of sin is still ongoing.

My sin carousel
The singer's cycle of sin is theirs alone and difficult to break free from.
