Analysis
The brief song is overall a pastiche to various themes and motifs associated with circuses and carousels/merry-go-rounds, with a hypnotic and brooding constant melody. Fitting the Halloween connotations with Merasmus and the Carnival of Carnage, the melody is in a minor off-key that evokes a somewhat ominous feeling consistent with stereotypical "haunted circus" settings. This homage to the horror genre is similar to the track Dreams of Cruelty in intent.
