Sparzanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is all in your head
It will let you feel insane
Hold you to your bed
Behind your eyes
Getting darker, feeling blind
Never see the light
Now... is the time
TO DIE AND TO GET DOWN AGAIN
I NEVER SAID I'D TAKE YOUR PAIN
ANYWAY
TO LIVE AND TO GET UP AGAIN
I NEVER SAID I'D TAKE YOUR PAIN
ANYWAY
Run your hands across your face
It is taking shape
Like it knows you're stuck in a maze
Feeding on your hate
Now... is time the time
The lyrics to Sparzanza's song "Anyway" appear to be about the struggles of the mind and the pain that one can feel when trapped in their own thoughts. The opening line seems to suggest that the listener is entering into a dream-like state, where they are not completely in touch with reality. The following lines talk about feeling insane and being held to a bed, suggesting that the listener is struggling with mental illness or some other psychological issue.
The chorus has a somewhat nihilistic tone, as it talks about both dying and living but never promising to take away the listener's pain either way. This suggests a sense of futility or hopelessness in the face of whatever is causing the mental anguish. The second verse is even darker, with the image of digging deeper into the mind and feeling blind, unable to see any way out. The use of the word "behind" to describe the mind also suggests a sense of being trapped or confined.
The final lines repeat the refrain about the present moment being the time to act, to either "die and get down again" or "live and get up again." This could be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging the listener to take control of their mental health despite the pain and difficulty.

Welcome to this dream again
The beginning of a recurring nightmare that's only in your mind
It is all in your head
The dream is a figment of your imagination and not real
It will let you feel insane
The nightmare makes you feel crazy and irrational
Hold you to your bed
The dream is so intense, it paralyzes you, preventing you from moving or waking up
Digging deeper in your in mind
The nightmare is delving deeper into your subconscious
Behind your eyes
The nightmare is happening in your mind's eye
Getting darker, feeling blind
The nightmare is becoming increasingly dark, causing you to feel lost and disorientated
Never see the light
The nightmare seems hopeless and never-ending, without a way out
Now... is the time
There's an opportunity or turning point in the dream where you can make a choice
TO DIE AND TO GET DOWN AGAIN
One option is to give up and let the nightmare consume you
I NEVER SAID I'D TAKE YOUR PAIN
The dream is your own creation and you must face it yourself
ANYWAY
Despite this fact, there's still hope and a reason to keep trying
TO LIVE AND TO GET UP AGAIN
The other option is to fight and overcome the nightmare
I NEVER SAID I'D TAKE YOUR PAIN
Again, the dream is yours alone to bear
ANYWAY
Despite this, there's still reason to hope and strive to overcome
Run your hands across your face
A moment of pause and reflection to gather strength and focus
It is taking shape
The situation is becoming clearer and more defined
Like it knows you're stuck in a maze
The nightmare seems to be actively working against you, trapping you in a mental labyrinth
Feeding on your hate
The nightmare thrives on your despair and negative emotions, making it stronger
Now... is time the time
Another crucial moment and opportunity to choose a path
