Lyrics for Carousel as interpreted by ScreamingInfidelity

Carousel Lyrics
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel
Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile

A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

I like how the song relates, how everyone thinks skool sux, but then they hit the real world, all on their own, and wish it was the way it was before. F*uking great song.

Huh, I'm listening to the song now,

I've never seen the like... booklet, where the lyrics are, but could it be 'walk-on' dream? Meaning like... people just come and go? Lots of guest appearances like a 'walk-on role' where the person just kinda walks in, is introduced answers some questions does some plot movement and disappears? I dunno, that seemed to make more sense to me than 'woken' dream...

Like that's what high school was, lots of people coming and going through my life. Answering some questions, doing some plot movement. And then disappearing.

Dammit, hit enter, uh, like I said though, I've never seen the booklet or any official lyrics. So I might be totally wrong.

I am looking at the liner notes now, Godzilla, and the lyrics above are 100% correct.

i hate when people say i love there older stuff better - they changed an went crap - i'm sure you'd bitch a hell of a lot more if they just threw out the same formulated albums everytime - they are evolving man, and its obviously worked out well for em.

i LOVE this song. it has a fantastic rhythm, melody, etc, especially in the live version. The lyrics are really meaningful and just sort of sad, but great at the same time. After I heard this song, it became my new favorite blink song, definitely. wow.

I love this song. The intro is just so.. sad, in a beautiful way. It's melody and rhythm gets stuck in my head for days and days.. makes me want to grab a bass.

These are my favourite parts:
"I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel
Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die "
"..Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile
...
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again."

I am so sad that i didn't discover blink earlier. I don't think their new records are crap, they're just different. It's unavoideble to be influenced and everything by other stuff..
I'm just a kid, i'm 14, so i guess that unless somebody blasted me one of their first cds back in the 90's, i wouldn't have known them. I, unfortunatly came to know them with TOYPnJ. Still, i love them, their music rocks and it is and will always stay in my cd player. I know all of their records and all of their songs. I'm not one of those idiots whom, just because she or he saw them once on MTV calls himself a blink fan.
I truly am one. And i'm so fucking depressed they broke up...you guys clear all that shit up and bring back those awesome guitar riffs!

Awesome song, but i dont know why its on the greatest hits album. does it have a video? usually the songs with videos are on. Thoughi agree this is a greatest hit. Still makes me sad blink 182 broke up. No one buy angels and airwaves so that they will fail and blink 182 will rejoin!

ah the drumming in this song is just awesome. of course it is the same beat that scott always used (especially in dude ranch). but its amazing. i mean travis is a good drummer and all, but i thought that scott fit better with the band because he has a very punk style, meanwhile travis is musically trained.

but anyway. its basically about a period of lonliness that people go through, and growing up. and the line "I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel" is saying how he just could wish it all away, and the carousel part is how everything used to be so fun, but hes now in the real world.


"Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile "

this shows how life gets hard when u grow up.

"school life is a
It is a woken dream "

the woken dream part shows how everything used to be good, but is now gone.

well anyway this song relates to me so much. and i just love it. and my band does an awesome cover of it.
