That's The Spirit
クラムボン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show up every stone
So far only you can lead us all back home
They could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam
To sleep enraptured waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home′s in the westward direction of my own resurrection
Stroaming on my sleep
Face me towards the new day until it breaks in me
Love is where I'm aiming
Down way is just as steep
To sleep enraptured, waking up captured isn′t liberty
So please lead me in the direction of my own resurrection
Last night I was dreaming
Spirits all were flying
When midnight woke up singing
Morning broke inside
Guess I don't want taming
No don't even try
To sleep enraptured, waking up captured isn′t worth the try
I′ll die pointing in the direction of my own resurrection
Lone star light the lowlands
Show up every stone
So far only you can lead us all back home
They could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam
To sleep enraptured waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home's in the westward direction of my own resurrection
That′s the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along
That′s the spirit
It hears you re way down low
That's the spirit
It′ll pick you up and let you know
That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along
That′s the spirit
It hears you re way down low
That′s the spirit
It'll pick you up and let you know
That′s the spirit
That's the spirit
The first verse of "That's The Spirit" by クラムボン talks about an individual who is lost and needs guidance to find their way back home. They await a "lone star" to light the path and show every stone in their way. They express that even if they were "chained in", their heart would roam, as they cannot be tamed. However, they are still in search of direction towards their "own resurrection". The song speaks of freedom and the desire to be led towards one's true self.
In the second verse, the individual pleads that the "sunbeam" be their guide and face them towards a new day. They are aiming for love and know that the journey down is not easy, but they cannot settle for being "enraptured" while awake and "captured" while asleep. They want to be free and not held back by anything. The chorus talks about the strength of the spirit and how it can make one want to sing along. It hears them "re way down low" and will "pick you up and let you know" - encouraging them to keep going and stay resilient.
Overall, the song speaks to those who feel lost and in search of direction towards their true self. It encourages them to listen to their inner spirit and not settle for anything less than true freedom.
