Carry You

Novo Amor, known for his ethereal indie-folk soundscapes, delivers a poignant message in the song 'Carry You'. The lyrics speak to the weight of past experiences and the pain that can linger from youth. The opening lines suggest a sense of being worn down by this pain, which is a common theme throughout the song. The mention of youth taking the blame could imply that the mistakes or hardships faced during one's younger years continue to have a lasting impact.

The song progresses to explore themes of love and support amidst this pain. The repetition of 'Let it lead your love away / I never strayed' suggests a steadfast commitment to supporting someone through their struggles. The speaker is willing to carry the emotional burden ('I will carry you always') for the sake of the loved one, indicating a deep sense of loyalty and compassion. This is further emphasized by the lines 'Fade me away, I won't ever be the same', which could be interpreted as the speaker acknowledging that this act of carrying another's pain changes them as well.

The use of contrasting imagery, such as 'hallowed' versus 'hollow' and 'shadowed' by 'every other weight', paints a picture of the complexity of human emotions and relationships. Novo Amor's delicate vocal delivery and the atmospheric instrumentation complement the introspective nature of the lyrics, creating a song that resonates with listeners who have felt the burden of supporting others while dealing with their own internal battles.
