The Merry-Go-Round Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cosmo & Caine (The Stupendium)]
Logged in, but I don’t remember logging on
World spins, tell me, what’s with all the polygons?
Wrong skin, tell me where the heck’s my body gone?
Messed with a headset, have I got the goggles on?
I’m not sure of my face, I don’t remember my name
But soon I’m certain to wake, this must be all in my brain
Is this cirque du soleil? ‘Cause this is flipping insane
Think I’m a bird that is caged inside a video game
Welcome to our little digital realm
My, my, I can see you’re just a bit overwhelmed
Why cry? You’re just bidding bye-bye to your life

High time that you got a better grip of yourself
Get off the textured floor and see the tent du jour
You’ve yet to get the tour
Is there an exit door?

[Interlude: Zooble (Ashley Nichols), Jax (Michael Kovach), Ragatha (Amanda Hufford) & Gangle (Marissa Lenti)]
You can forget it
Sure, that’s why we left before
Wow, Jax, mature
What did you scare them for?

[Verse 2: Cosmo (The Stupendium) & Kinger (Sean Chiplock)]
This can’t be happening, my sanity’s unravelling
I’m scrambling to snap out of this saccharine imagining
A parrot in a wacky canvas shack packed with mannequins
Whoops, don’t crack
Hear the madness they were babbling?

Gosh, I hope they’re okay
Eh, relax, doll, this isn’t even canon
Canon?
What do you mean “Canon”?
He means that right now we exist even less than we usually do
Wha—
See?

Shrieks
Hehe, classic

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
You’re in a digital circus, get back in your seats
It’s the maze in amazing, the trap in trapeze
You know resisting is worthless, so sing to the theme
Enslaved to the stage but the admission is free
You’re tied in a tightrope, prepare for the fun
Your life as a sideshow has barely begun
So smile to the stalls, at faces yet to be found
It’s up to us all to make the merry go ’round

[Verse 3: Cosmo, Caine & Bubble (The Stupendium)]
No way that I’m taking a fate in this place
Encased in a game on a faded display
You’re PG indentured
I’m pleading with dentures
You need an adventure, Bubble, take it away
Okay, new addition to the big-top
Check the guest list, we can see you’re ticked off
Hit the gift shop, popcorn and a fizz-pop
Spit pretty sick, but you bet it’ll be licked up
Why are you like this? Oop, moving on
You’ll see, chickadee, this is where you belong
Why it’s meant to be, destiny, endless in entropy
(Pending indemnities)
Rest of the song
You could rack up some points and go and gather the gloinks
That’s the practical choice, because it’s that or the void
Ride a slide or hide inside a giant pie or fry some eggs or find the exit
No, forget about the exit, there’s so much to enjoy
Slumber parties, monkey bars and underwater bumper cars
A hundred yards of hunting darts, or funky bumping lumber yards
Ten assorted tennis courts, a desk to check your credit score
A teleporting exit door and— Woah, haha, nevermind
It’s a CD-ROM panopticon and I don’t feel amazement
Incarcerated, caged in outdated edutainment
A CD-I of ceaseless eyes, of fun and game enslavement
Quit that line of thinking or you’ll end up in the basement, woah
What the **** does that even mean?

[Bridge: The Stupendium, Ashley Nichols, Michael Kovach, Amanda Hufford, Marissa Lenti, Sean Chiplock & Lizzie Freeman, The Stupendium]
Ooh, accept surrender to this hellish render we know
This tent’s forever, best you just get on with the show
Bask in the splendour, get your new adventure and go
Just keep your head up lest you want to end up below
(Accept surrender to this hellish render we know)
Show me the door, send me a sign
(This tent’s forever, best you just get on with the show)
Carnival barking and out of my mind
(Bask in the splendour, get your new adventure and go)
This isn’t fair, at least not that kind
(Just keep your head up lest you want to end up below)
I just wanna roll up, roll up and die

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
You’re in a digital circus, get back in your seats
It’s the maze in amazing, the trap in trapeze
You know resisting is worthless, so sing to the theme
No hope of escaping, this tent ain’t for fleas
You’re tied in a tightrope, prepare for the fun
Your life as a sideshow has barely begun
So smile to the stalls, at faces yet to be found
It’s up to us all to make the merry go ’round

[Post-Chorus: The Stupendium]
The merry-go-round
The merry-go-round
The merry-go-round

[Verse 4: Cosmo (The Stupendium)]
Living in a theatre isn’t what you’d dream
When you’re caught in a loop in a CG park
Like a video arena by Hideo Kojima
Jumping through hoops for a PTeeth Barnham
I’m starting to lose my grip
As the days start to melt to malaise mayonnaise and they drip
And they pool at my feet and I see the reflection projected that’s meant to be me
But I’ve no recollection of genuine me, I don’t eat, I don’t sleep
It’s just ceaseless, adventure, adventure, repeat and repeat
And I need a reprieve, won’t you please let me leave?
But I don’t even know what I’d be if I leave
And they say, “Take it easy and breathe,” to release the unease
But I’m clearly abandoned to needlessly random scenes
Where it seems I’m the featured attraction
Weeks spent pleading and screaming in tandem
Clearly you see that the teeth are the madman?
Each of them speaking to me of abstraction
But they won’t explain what it means when I ask them
They won’t explain what it means when I ask them
They won’t explain what it means when I ask them
They won’t explain what it means—

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
You’re in a digital circus, get back in your seats
It’s the maze in amazing, the trap in trapeze (Oh, it’s the trap in trapeze)
You know resisting is worthless, so sing to the theme
No lions for taming, it’s you bearing the teeth
You’re tied in a tightrope, prepare for the fun (Prepare for the fun)
Your life as a sideshow has barely begun
So smile to the stalls, at faces yet to be found (Yet to be found)
It’s up to us all to make the merry go ’round

[Post-Chorus: The Stupendium]
The merry-go-round (The merry-go-round)
The merry-go-round (The merry-go-round)
It’s up to us all to make the merry go ’round
(The merry-go-round and around and around)
The merry-go-round (The merry-go-round)
The merry-go-round (The merry-go-round)
End up with the fall, or make the merry go ’round
(The merry-go-round and around and around)

[Outro]
Ahaha, wow, that—
That really didn’t take long at all
Eh, typical self-insert
Speed-ran the whole arc to fit it into a video
Honestly, I’m just **** they got to skip the theme song
But I like the theme song
And they didn’t show me their insect collection
Uh, did Caine sound kind of different to anyone else today?
Or is it just me?
Hahaha, I don’t know what you mean, Pomni
I sounded perfectly normal
Won’t somebody show me their insect collection?

The Merry-Go-Round Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Cosmo & Caine (The Stupendium)]
The speaker suddenly finds themselves in a strange, digital world without any memory of how they got there. They’re confused by the blocky, computer-like environment and unsure of their own identity or appearance. It feels like they’re trapped in some kind of virtual reality game or circus performance, and they’re hoping it’s just a dream. The bizarre surroundings make everything feel unreal, like they’ve landed in some trippy, circus-like nightmare. Then, a strange character shows up, treating the whole thing as completely normal and trying to talk the speaker into accepting this new reality. Instead of offering comfort or help, they brush off the speaker’s panic and tell them to adjust, suggesting this is now their life. There’s even a hint that escape isn’t really an option, though the speaker’s still desperately looking for a way out. The atmosphere is overwhelming, like a mix of a circus and a glitchy game, and the people in it are a bit too cheerful about the chaos.

[Interlude: Zooble, Jax, Ragatha & Gangle]
The others casually confirm there’s no real way out and even mock the new person’s fear. It’s like they’ve seen this reaction before and don’t take it seriously anymore.

[Verse 2: Cosmo & Kinger]
The speaker is spiraling into panic, trying to figure out if this is a dream or just a weird hallucination. They describe the circus as totally off-the-wall and packed with creepy mannequins. Other characters don’t seem concerned at all—they’re joking around and even say this moment isn’t “canon,” like it doesn’t officially count. Then one of them proves their point in a strange, surreal way, adding to the confusion and reinforcing that nothing in this place makes much sense.

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
Everyone is trapped in this bizarre digital circus where freedom is an illusion. You’re expected to play along and entertain, even if you don’t want to. The setup may look fun and exciting, but it’s actually a kind of prison disguised as a performance. There’s no use resisting, so you’re encouraged to keep smiling and play your part. The audience is always watching, and the circus goes on no matter how you feel.

[Verse 3: Cosmo, Caine & Bubble (The Stupendium)]
The speaker refuses to accept this strange circus as their fate, feeling stuck inside a broken old game. They’re being pressured into joining in, and one of the odd characters, Bubble, jumps in to show off all the circus has to offer, acting like it’s just a big playground. There’s a mix of chaos and randomness—games, prizes, silly attractions—but it all feels forced, like a cover-up for something darker. They make it sound like you can stay busy and distracted forever, but deep down it’s clear this is all just a trap. The speaker keeps looking for an exit, but even when it seems there might be one, it vanishes, leaving them stuck in a system full of fake joy. The digital world they’re in feels outdated and controlling, like an old educational CD-ROM that now only serves to keep people trapped. The whole place is filled with watchful eyes, constant activity, and rules that don’t make sense. If you question things too much, you’re threatened with being sent somewhere worse—like the basement. It’s a surreal mix of humor and horror, where no one really explains what’s going on, and even the warnings don’t make much sense.

[Bridge: The Stupendium & others]
Everyone is basically told to stop fighting the madness and just accept it. The circus is forever, and there’s no escaping, so you might as well smile and keep going. It’s like being stuck in a wild ride with no brakes. The speaker is mentally exhausted, asking for a sign or a way out, but nothing comes. Meanwhile, the others act like it’s normal and even fun, though it’s clearly not. The speaker just wants to give up completely, overwhelmed and broken by everything around them.

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
Once again, they’re reminded there’s no escaping. The digital circus is full of tricks and traps, and any attempt to resist is pointless. You’re forced into performing, walking the tightrope of madness while your life becomes just another act. There’s a crowd watching, but they’re faceless and unknown. Everyone trapped inside plays a role to keep the circus spinning, even if they never agreed to it.

[Post-Chorus: The Stupendium]
The circus keeps going in endless circles. No breaks, no changes—just round and round forever.

[Verse 4: Cosmo (The Stupendium)]
Living in this circus world is nothing like what anyone would wish for. The speaker feels like they’re trapped in an artificial loop, stuck in a game-like world that feels more like a bizarre nightmare. References to game creators and weird entertainment mashups highlight how absurd it all feels. Days blur together, turning into a sticky mess of nonsense, and the speaker can’t even recognize themselves anymore. They don’t eat or sleep, just repeat the same activities over and over, desperate for a break. But even if they could leave, they don’t know who they’d be outside of this. The circus keeps throwing random scenes at them, and everyone treats it like a performance. They’re screaming for help, but the strange characters just talk in riddles and nonsense. There’s no explanation, no clarity, just chaos disguised as fun. The whole thing feels like being the star of a twisted show with no script and no end.

[Chorus: The Stupendium]
The circus pulls you right back in, reminding you there’s no escape. The traps are hidden in the fun, and no matter how hard you try to break free, you’re stuck performing. You’re constantly being watched, expected to smile and keep going while your real life fades away. It’s a never-ending performance, and you’re the main act whether you like it or not.

[Post-Chorus: The Stupendium]
This endless cycle keeps spinning, with no clear way out. You can either fall into despair or keep pretending everything’s fine. It goes on and on, dragging everyone with it.

[Outro]
The final part is very meta and self-aware. The characters break the fourth wall, joking about how quickly the story wrapped up and how parts were skipped, like the theme song or personal moments. They mock how rushed it all felt, as if it was just made for a video. One character wonders if another sounded different, hinting at the idea that none of this is stable or real. The final line about the insect collection brings back the weirdness, ending things on a creepy, quirky note that shows how broken and strange this world really is.
