Discover the story of the song > Carousel – Melanie Martinez

This song is about a girl who is chasing after a boy who she likes. She compares her feelings to a never-ending ride on a carousel at a carnival. It's all fun and exciting at first, but she feels like she's stuck and can't get off. She wonders why the boy she likes makes her heart feel like it's made of cotton candy, but also makes her feel trapped.
