Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giant wheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I'm here
By my door
Waiting for you

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I here sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
Down there just to make you mine
In a merry-go-round

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now, oh oh
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now, oh oh
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now




Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dustbox's song "Carnival" convey a mix of longing, frustration, and a desire for love and connection. The repetition of the phrase "I will never know" suggests a sense of helplessness and uncertainty. The singer feels like they will never understand or have clarity about the situation because the other person involved refuses to reveal their true feelings. This lack of communication creates frustration and a yearning for love.


The mention of the carnival adds a vibrant and whimsical element to the song. The bright lights and giant wheels create a vivid image of excitement and joy. However, the singer remains stuck by their door, waiting for the person they desire to come and love them. The use of metaphors like "barrel organs, mothers" and "merry-go-round" adds a sense of nostalgia and romanticism. It suggests that the singer wants to experience the magic and bliss of love, but they can only do so if the other person opens up and reciprocates their feelings.
