The lyrics remind me strongly me of the black and white circa 1950 horror movie, "Carnival of Souls." In this movie, Candice Hillgloss and two of her friends drag race with a car of young men, only to plunge into a moonlit river. Candice alone emerges from the river, not dead, yet not fully alive. On a road trip the next night to take her first job as church organist, a ghoulish male figure begins to haunt her. Eventually, the figure lures her to a mesmerizing merry-go-round in a long defunct theme park. The merry-go-round becomes alive with ghoulish revelers. Ultimately, she joins the revelers in a whirling waltz with the male ghoul, dying, and leaving only her footprints behind.
