The story behind this song
There's no edge to this carnival. She can see it from the top of the wheel.
This is the moment the scale of it becomes undeniable. Not a bad night. Not a weird roadside attraction. Something that stretches in every direction as far as she can see — and she can see a long way from up here.
From the top of the Ferris wheel, the narrator looks out and sees every town the carnival has ever visited. Every person who told themselves they'd only look inside. The wheel keeps turning. There's no gate. There was never a gate.
The Story So Far: She turned off the highway. She heard the barker. She walked the midway, saw the exhibits, understood what the tent of wonders was really showing her. Now she's at the top of the Ferris wheel and the view goes on forever.
This is Track 6. The exit isn't visible from up here.
What did you see from the top?
