podlpfan Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Hey, just listened to the 2nd version of Carousel.... way better than the HT EP version....... oh well I couldn't help but wonder what the song is about? I thought at first it was like a christian song (you know, I never know why you run so far away from me) then I thought maybe the 'I' in the chorus is like both the girl in the first bit and the guy in the second bit, both wondering why nobody wanted to be around them...... lol two very different possibilities, both seem a bit strange though, I wonder what others' opinions are? Quote Forget Jay-Z, guys..... do something with the second-greatest band in the world, P.O.D.!!!!!! (Wel at least I'd buy it)
Crawling Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 i think about the gal part: she is not allright and can't sleep at night and that stuff however she run away from chester so he say: ''i'll never know just why u run so far away from me'' Quote [broken External Image]:http://img179.echo.cx/img179/9670/sig4cl.jpg My Poem :thumbsup: covering my face seeking another place now i believe in giving in
Friðbjörn Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 It's about a drug habit. "he thinks he's got it all under control" "it would be a problem to just quit" Quote [broken External Image]:http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2784/lpfas08mostintelligentym8.jpg
misery Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Yea, it's about a drug addiction.

anna_loves.chaz Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 yeah it's a drug song see this guy is doing drugs and shit ''but in reality it would be prob to just quit..an addicted he cant hold ...bla bla bla'' and this girl she is his gf and she's like suffring bcuz of him but I dont kow if she's doing drugs but I think she is like when it says in this part ''all she wants to do is get rid of this hell'' I read it somewhere but I forgot where was it Quote

diana Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I didnt have this kind of oppinion of this song... Now Ill go home and read lyric again... Ill tell you tomorrow... Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/8b479714c2981449a34f1f582adc8fb2.jpg ...ljubim...<3
podlpfan Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 hmmm.... I'm not so sure that the guy and girl are nessecarily bf/gf although its possible...... I thought it was just two random people picked out who are struggling with problems. I wouldn't really say its a song about drug addictions, it's clear that the guy has some kind of addiction, but I think its used in a broader sense to show people with no direction in their lives or something. Hey but keep the suggestions coming, I'm always open-minded Quote Forget Jay-Z, guys..... do something with the second-greatest band in the world, P.O.D.!!!!!! (Wel at least I'd buy it)
uwantme2b Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I'm not doubting you guys, but not all addiction is a *drug* addiction. There are all sorts of harmful addictions.

Z44 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 it is a drug addiction. but question-what is the 2nd version? Quote
uwantme2b Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 How do you know it's a drug addiction? If you say you know, it's a good idea to back it up. Where does it say that it's a drug addiction? If I see proof, I'll be happy to agree :thumbsup: Sorry, guys. I'm just curious, lol. I like to know these things.

Sygy Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 i thought that the girl was a self-harmer and that the boy was a druggie. Quote iam mors sola fuga est [broken External Image]:http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9977/n76430001741552817731hb2.jpg
uwantme2b Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 ^ I'm not sure if I agree, but I'm on the same track as you are I think that self-harm is another type of addiction (yes, it is an addiction). I have uncertain views on the song. It's not one of my most-listened to LP songs.

Rae Rae Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I think the girl has a horrible secret that she's keeping bottled up inside and nobody but her friends know what it is but her family knows there's something wrong but she won't tell them and I think the guy has a drug addiction cuz it says tries to slow down the problem he's got but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop cuz drugs can make you feel like your spinning in circles Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/b50caeb34e2a30cf9cf6b2e1d1d4b48d.jpg Asian Hotness!
diana Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Well, I dont think its really a drug addiction... I think that he just have a problem or a lot of them...and Im not saying that isnt possible this about drugs...I just dont think that... Girl also have serious problems and she just dont know what she could do...she dont shair problems with others cuz this is too hard for her... Its hard to show yourself to people that you love... Yeah, I think that Im talking this cuz to me is happening the same... I think we will never know, what LP were really thinking with that song...just in case if this is writen somewhere from them...Let me know!

FireHawk Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I think LP songs mean different things to different people Quote Please when you see spam just click the http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/4b273718b96672a5cde873c5a972756e.gif graphic and type "Spam" into the text box then click report.

Zeus LP Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Firehawk, I think that's a different outlook but interesting... this is definately a good song though Quote "The fact that no one understands you does not make you an artist."
pprkuttheory Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I think LP songs mean different things to different people yeah, just to continue what you were saying.. songs (not just LP) mean something to the certain listener about something that is going on in their life... like for carousel.. for a drug addict it makes sence if you just listen to the lyrics... but at the same time it could mean something totally different to another listener that knows nothing about drugs or has never taken them.. like for somebody that isnt doing well in school, its not neccesarily an "addiction" to not be doing well but it may feel that way to that certain person because they just cant overcome their poor grades.. in other words an addict most likely is having trouble with their addiction, they want to quit but they are just so addicted that they need the drug to feel good about themselves, same with grades somebody could try sooo hard to get good grades but no matter what they do it doesnt work out for them, so it may have a sub-meaning, or something that you have to "read between the lines" about, not neccesarily straight forward about addiction... im not saying its about school, the point im trying to make is that songs may not always mean what they say.. something thats deeper that the basic lyrics Quote [broken External Image]:http://cdnd.winduprecords.com/strata/banners/strataone468.gif
podlpfan Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 There are two points here: one, the guy in the second verse certainly appears to be suffering from a drug addiction...... "An addict he can't hold the reins the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same" true I guess it could be something else like cutting but it seems like they were meaning a drug addiction..... but its not a drug song as such cos the girl in the first verse seems to have some other problem...... still it doesn't really explain who is actually speaking in the chorus, or what the hell they're saying...... Quote Forget Jay-Z, guys..... do something with the second-greatest band in the world, P.O.D.!!!!!! (Wel at least I'd buy it)
diana Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I think LP songs mean different things to different people Yeah, I agree with you! I think this is the smartest thought in this forum... Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/8b479714c2981449a34f1f582adc8fb2.jpg ...ljubim...<3
