about

Originally written and shared on YouTube in 2017, Carousel was taken to the next level for this album by music producer Marin Ishida. Playful, escalating background tracks support a repetitive melody, with lyrics recounting various frustrations about the relentless ups and downs of life. Lyrics below.

lyrics

I wish I could find a way to break the spell
Find me someone I could compel
To show me the brakes on this carousel

I wish I could find a good story to tell
Prove that reality is a myth to dispel
Find me someone I could compel
To show me the brakes on this carousel

Give me something to repel the people who try to sell
The idea that life is ebony and eggshell. Show me the brakes on this carousel

Round and round and round and round
Round and round till we fly to the ground
Round and round and round and round
Round and round till we’re sick of the sound

Round and round and round we go
Round and round till we don’t even know
Round and round which way is up
Round and round in a spinning teacup

Round and round and round we go
Round and round till we don’t even know
Round and round which way is up
Round and round in a spinning teacup

Round and round I wish I could yell
Round and round to wish you well
Round and round I try to rebel
But I can’t find the brakes on this carousel
