Red Light Carousel Lyrics

1-2-3

We spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

We've cut the lifeline
We're going down
But still we search for reasons why

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

The headlines warn us just today
We'll take our chances anyway

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death
This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves

We've cut the lifeline
We're going down

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death

We spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

We've cut the lifeline
We're going down
But still we search for reasons why

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

The headlines warn us just today
We'll take our chances anyway

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death
This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves

We've cut the lifeline
We're going down

And I see it coming
The burning hell
A missing purpose to stay alive

We have lost ourselves on this red light carousel
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin
And we spin

This is not our problem
We are fighting for ourselves
This is not our problem
We will fight to the death

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
