Meaning;
Carousel is about Cry Baby's first relationship, a toxic relationship that leaves her feeling like she can never catch up to the one she loves, going around in circles. Cry Baby wanted this relationship to be magical, considering it was her first love, instead she ends up with a toxic lover. Eventually she had to wake up and realize how toxic the relationship was.
Music Video and Lyrics;
[Chorus]
Round and round like a horse on a carousel
We go
Will I catch up to love?
I could never tell
I know, chasing after you is like a fairytale
But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Verse 1]
Come, come one come all
You must be this tall
To ride, this ride
At the carnival
Oh, come take my hand
And run through playland
So high, too high
At the carnival
[Pre-chorus]
And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now
[Chorus]
Round and round like a horse on a carousel
We go
Will I catch up to love?
I could never tell
I know, chasing after you is like a fairytale
But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Verse 2]
This horse is too slow
We're always this close
Almost, almost
We're a freak show
Right, right when I'm near
It's like you disappear
Where'd you go?
Mr. Houdini, you're a freak show
[Pre-chorus]
And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now
[Chorus]
Round and round like a horse on a carousel
We go
Will I catch up to love?
I could never tell
I know, chasing after you is like a fairytale
But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Bridge]
Why did you steal my cotton candy heart?
You threw it in this damn coin slot
And now I'm stuck, I'm stuck
Riding, riding, riding
[Chorus]
Round and round like a horse on a carousel
We go
Will I catch up to love?
I could never tell
I know, chasing after you is like a fairytale
But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
