| Dead Can Dance – The Carnival Is Over Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Being a little middle aged, my mind is perhaps not as prone to think in terms of the Springtime of life, loves labors, or finding oneself. My interpretation then, is more reflective of a life nearly complete. The Carnival is life itself, and the remembrances and images in both video and lyrics harken to a recall that interprets a past that is both sad and full of illusion. Let's face it we clothe ourselves in disguises that we find easiest which allow the greatest security and acceptance. Life is a little like that. But there is also a strong sense that the afterlife will be frolicsome, open to joy, and regret free. | |
