A riff-heavy, high-energy rock track about emotional whiplash and mixed signals - the kind of push-pull that keeps you spinning when all you want is something real. Driven by grinding electric riffs from Garrett Sweeny of Monster Magnet.
Alternative
NYC underground songwriting where synth pulse meets guitar haze.
Emerging from 80s collaborations and evolving quietly, the project moves between dark pop, alt-rock atmosphere, and emotional voltage. Appearances are rare. The signal is steady.
The project reflects Vincze’s long-standing exploration of transformation, intensity, and survival recurring themes in his broader creative work.
Story behind the song
This one came out of living inside the loop - one day you're everything, the next day you're nothing. Waiting by the phone. Swallowing pride. Hearing promises that don’t quite land.
“Merry-Go-Round" isn’t about heartbreak - it’s about tension. It’s about that moment when you realize you’ve been circling the same emotional ground and you’re done pretending it’s romantic.
The riff carries the weight. It doesn’t glide - it grinds. It pushes forward like someone finally losing patience.
Fun on the surface. Fire underneath.
Lyrics
I often wonder, wonder to myself
How can it be there's nobody else?
I'm trying hard to understand
Baby don't you know I need a one-woman man?
One day you're off, running with the crowd
Next day you're telling me, baby, hear me out
You're saying please, please you've got me on my knees
Honey, you're the one I want
I just can't believe, you've got me...
Round, round, round
Why are you playin' me?
Is this love for real or is it
Just a merry-go-round?
Night after night, waiting by the phone
I try to call you, there's nobody home
Give me a reason, baby, baby let me know
If you really care why do I feel so all alone?
You keep me hangin' on, hangin' by a thread
I can't keep holdin' on, I'm out of my head
I'm saying please, please, you've got me on my knees
Tell me I'm the one for you, make me believe,
you've got me...
Round, round, round
Why are you playin' me?
Is this love for real or is it
Just a merry-go-round?
Oh baby, you want me?
Boy then you got me
Throw away all your foolish pride
Come on in, here I am, let me show you
What this love is like
You've got me...
Round, round, round
Why are you playin' me?
Is this love for real or is it
Just a merry-go-round?
