This is fitting to try to break free of the grasp of narcissism... Whether you are singing this to someone you "tried to climb steps for" or "got down low to the ground for" or you are the narcissist yourself finding it hard to break the sick cycle and this song is your excuse to God who's steps you tried to climb because you are blissfully unaware that you even have a problem... It's everyone else's fault. In this way, the song I think for me reflects a narcissist's viewpoint that they did all the right things, they got as 'low to the ground' as possible, and God still didn't grant them lasting meaningful relationships... They tried everything, many acts and followed laws, admonished others... but speaking in love was never on the list. They tried everything but looking inward at themselves... This song is for you, the one trying to break free. It's also for you, the one that will never listen to it because it would mean changing yourself before you lose it all... And that just can't happen on your happy little carnival ride. Fun for you, and torture for everyone else.
I feel this song on the most personal level. In a relationship when you try and try and try and never feel like you're living up to someone else's needs or expectations. You keep getting let down and hurt worse then you have over and over again. Even though you are trying with every ounce of yourself to better yourself and become something for someone else. It feels like it'll happen forever and you just get so damn tired. So you think maybe you should step off the ride for good. Never place your happiness or worth in someone else, kids. Because people will always let you down if you do. Protect your happiness and better yourself so you can live a better life for YOU.
Felt this way in my life. But, you have to choose to get better and step off. YOU are the only person that can stop the carousel. I did 7 years ago. And it's awesome.
I used to sing this song when I'm totally clueless what's going on of my life. And thanks God, I feel better again. I can described this song as my stress relief song
Just watched this on RUclips many times before and as of now. This song is my reminder of my season of singleness, and how it's one sick cycle after another until I just wish that there was a person or carnie worker that I could ask or tell them to stop this carousel or ride for I want to get off & FOR GOOD, even threatening them even if it was with force, violence or with "hell to pay 🔥👺". Aside from that, how many times have I heard that in my 38 years, going on to 39 years that I've been alive on Earth, "Your time and your girl or woman will come. Hang in there"& "keep on trucking"? It's probably more than once, though. I've been single and patient long enough, almost to the point of giving up. Every year I've been waiting, been hoping, praying that God will bring the right person, the right woman for me.I'm just tired of waiting for so long, as much as I'm sick to death of being lied to, tricked, blackmailed, deceived, manipulated or treated like a personal assistant or a pawn or prop in some cruel joke or a sex toy, in this case a "toy cock" that a girl or woman keeps pressing thinking that it's a car and she keeps revving the engine, wasting gas and oil, but by a strange, fake, foreign woman looking for love when all along it was a Scammer pretending to be a strange woman and wanting money or gift cards or pictures of me with or without clothes on. More importantly, I'm getting too old for these head, heart or mind games. If a girl or woman loves me, then she'd better say it and believe and feel it & wants the whole package deal perfection, flaws and everything else in between & will put me out of my misery, otherwise just let me go. I'm tired of being jerked around!!!!!!!!!!! A girl or woman who doesn't like or love me or just wants to use me is not worth my time or energy. Haven't I waited or suffered long enough as a Single person myself or do I just have to wait a little bit longer? Try to understand how frustrating, how tiredsome, how stressful, how ANGRY THIS IS MAKING ME! Sorry 🙂.
This song hits close to home with me because i am diagnosed with the same thing as the lead singer and writer of this song. I completely understand and wish him nothing but good.
Exactly I’ve been through that, this song resonates my troubled relationship that ended bitter for both of us. Did everything but was a one sided relationship.
I use to love listening to this song back then, love it because of the beat and the lyrics but now the lyrics is me, and I'm into something that is toxic and even lethal for my case and situation.. and the only means to get out of this relationship is when I finally step down for good.. help me God 😔😢😭
@@vickyjackson564 yeah for me this song reminds me of the time in my life when I was desperately trying to get the approval of a mentally abusive Uncle nothing I ever did was good enough No matter what I did he wouldn't look at how good I did he would Harkin on the things I did wrong and somehow I still kept trying

“You better believe that i have tried to beat this.” - That part gets me.
Me too. It's all very painful and ENDLESS

Looking back I feel that the production team should've shot the album art at a circus or theme park at least and NOT IN A BOWLING ALLEY, IMHO.

What is your interpretation to this song?
I think in a bad relationship and knowing he needs to get out but something holds him back x
Try to runaway from your pain but you're just can't seems to move on
Mental health problems and the fight to stay alive in the face of it.
its about uhmmm... ahh.... my high school days.
@@vickyjackson564 yeah for me this song reminds me of the time in my life when I was desperately trying to get the approval of a mentally abusive Uncle nothing I ever did was good enough
No matter what I did he wouldn't look at how good I did he would Harkin on the things I did wrong and somehow I still kept trying
