Lyric discussion by joca13 

The carnival/theme park seems to be symbolic of life, so this song appears to be all about waking up to the moment and living your life, being positive rather than negative (It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead) right up until the last ride of your life.

I love the first line, "We live in every moment but this one, why don't we recognize the faces loving us so?" It sums the song up nicely, we are always looking to the future or are moping about the past. Be happy about the present.

@joca13 yes, I agree with you about meaning of LAST RIDE OF THE DAY, pluss of it the doing of song is very good special Floor Jansen
