I wanna stand before a merry go round and listen to this song all the friggin day.

You make me feel like I'm home.

I AGREE. Her music is home. (:

Nothing more to add to this. :')

I really don't get the line "white rabbits on the run" in this song. What is it a metaphor for??  It just sounds so abrupt after the lines "Cause you know time will break and you'll be late" and "And time won't wait, so don't be late".

It is metaphorical. V mentioned before that rabbits symbolize "time slipping" and "mind floating" for her. And remember the White Rabbit on a hurry from Alice in Wonderland? Guess she got the inspiration from there.

So I have been extremely busy with work and school and I never really payed attention to this song. Today I decided to sit down and finally listen to the song. Anytime I listen to a new V song I have to hear it more than once. I have to hear it in total silence. Nothing but the song in the background. I listen to the music, then her lyrics, how they coexist, what the song means, etc. I love this song. I cried. I am willing to admit I have cried to  Vanessa songs but I have never cried initially like I have with this song. Its just so beautiful. It is now my favorite Vanessa song.

For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time will break and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run

It's hard to know what's good for you
And know she'll let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down

All you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Never too late to change the pace
Days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo

I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Casting long distant spells never unearthed
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Dancing all dancing spells never unearthed
Unearthed

Oo
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Until you hear the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend

And time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run

I tried my best, I agree some part were hard and may not be 100% correct, but for the most part I think I did well.

after typing these out
and listening like the 3rd time and understanding what she was saying...
wow.
not gonna lie, I cried.

she always has a way of getting to me, some way...
because I can always find a way to relate.





edit:
anyone else getting that "Cyndi Lauper - True Colors" feel from this song?
I donno why but even after the first listen, I was reminded of that song.

hmm.

I am not sure I hear the word "thunder" though I have no other suggestion as to what it may be. I try really hard to make it fit bbut in my mind I cannot.  I will have to listen to it in complete silence some day when I have time!
