It was at the very end of carnival

In a street bloc with no signal

And I chose you for me

You said you already knew me

So I let you

Get to know me a bit more

But only the two of us know

My body wants yours

Your scratches linger in my head

I can't get you out of me

My kink plays with yours

And your name's stuck to my lips

Know what's worse?

I promised I'd spend

A year or two

Without falling off a cliff

From this crush I have on you

But only the two of us know

My body wants yours

Your scratches linger in my head

I can't get you out of me

My kink plays with yours

And your name's stuck to my lips

My body bears scratches from yours

The urges in my head

I can't get them out of me

Your kink plays with mine

And my name's stuck to your lips

My skin begs for yours

I don't wanna pull you from me

SONG MEANING

Carnaval captures the dizzy thrill of a last-minute spark born at the very end of the street party. Confetti is still falling, phones have no signal, and the singer singles out a mysterious stranger as if fate handed her the final mask of the night. She lets this new flame explore her world and quickly realizes their desires sync perfectly: scratches on skin, playful fetishes, and names that refuse to leave their lips.

Underneath the playful rhythm lies a promise already broken. She had sworn to avoid any heart-plunging romances for a year or two, yet the magnetic pull is stronger than her resolution. The song becomes a tug-of-war between intention and temptation where every touch lingers like glitter on skin. Carnaval is a sultry confession that the party might end, but the chemistry keeps dancing long after the drums fall silent.
