Carousel
The Lift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the sun sets keep shining on me
When the snow melts and the cracks show
Make a fresh start throw the old you away
When the bad days make you angry
Making new friends doesn't come at all
When the cute boys all ignore you
And you don't speak their languages
Happy like the never ending rain
Tell me once again i'm happy
Like a new drop, an old stop, a far off carousel kind of place
When the dream fades please don't wake me
When a smile comes thanks and praise
When your luck runs into dry spells
And the years pass just like days
Chorus
Can you step back, let the drains fill
Let the sink drip in your brain
Pull the light switch lose the life vest
Pull yourself back from the haze
The lyrics of The Lift's song Carousel inspire one to find joy in the midst of adversity. The opening lines talk about pouring love even when things do not seem to be going well. The next line talks about shining through the darkness, and when the snow melts, make a fresh start and throw the old you away. This line is like an invitation to let go of old habits or ways of doing things and embrace a new chapter.
The next verses of the song depict challenging situations such as bad days, making new friends, and being ignored by cute boys. However, these situations do not dampen the singer's spirit as they remain happy despite the difficulties. The comparison to "never-ending rain" suggests that this happiness is not just temporary but rather a state of being, like a kind of internal peace that nothing can shake.
The chorus talks about stepping back from the chaos of life, letting things be and finding peace in the moment. When the dream fades, it's a plea to not give up on hope and aspirations. The line "let the sink drip in your brain" is about embracing the sounds and distractions around us, as opposed to drowning them out. In essence, the song is reminding listeners to focus on being happy and not let external circumstances determine their emotional state.
