Carousel Lyrics
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she’s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
He can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he’s stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel
Until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
Try to fly with the wings I gave you
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I think the first verse is about a girl who was raped and is still tormented about it. The second verse is about a boy who is addicted to drugs. He thinks he doesn't have a problem and that he could quit if he wanted to. But he doesn't know how dependant he is. Even if he wanted to quit it would be doubly hard because his friends also have an addiction to drugs. If he got off them he would see how the drugs are slowly destroying his friends. This in itself would be enough to drive him back to taking drugs.
"She/He can only fool himself for so long(x4) I'm too weak to face me" Those are my favorite lines in the song. It's saying that Although that the characters in this song don't want to believe that they have problems, one day their going to have to face everything. The second line is them screaming that they don't want to deal with these things because they're too weak to take a good look at themselves and see who they are. They'd rather pretend that everythigs fine, that they can handle everything.
"Try to fly with the wings I gave you Try to do what you believe and I'll save you" I'm not sure about this part but I think a person who loves either of the characters is speaking to them. They are telling them try to hold on for a little while and then the'll come to rescue them and make everything better.
"I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me" But they are still fooling themselves and they run away from this person who would have saved them from themselves. This person is saying that they don't know why they're running away from them when they could've helped.
@ilikepork I think that "Fly with me under the wings I gave you, Try to be closer to me and I'll save you" line is kinda related to God, that's what God's speaking to those kids. And "I never know just why you run So far away, far away from me" line is also God's speech. And the other is all about inner fight and how you're losing yourself with in it... That's why there's line "I'm too weak to face me" I don't know, maybe I'm too religious.

hey people, listen, i have gone through alot of these "linkin park songs, but dun get me wrong, linkin park is my favorite band, but you know what, carousel is not linkin park. teknically it is, but it is Hybrid Theory. as many of you may know, linkin park changed their name from hybrid theory, to the well known band today. which is one reason that linkin parks first album wasnt self titled, they just took their old band name and used it for the title of their cd.

It's about addiction...you can tell. In the beginning, "she can't hide no matter how hard she tries" says she just can't quit doing drugs, and she is dependent on them. "All her friends know why she can't sleep at night" in reference to her family asking if she's okay means they know she does drugs, and they possibly even give them to her. "But can't get off the carousel Until he makes it stop" is an excellent line, demonstrating that drug addiction just goes around in a big circle.
