Spank
Adelphi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart beats like a clock
That can't speed up and won't slow down
She moves like waves within the sea
Her kiss sends ripples all around
And just before I start to sink
My mind begins remembering
All those year we spent afloat
Well, I'll take my chances with the deep

Go on, go on get away from me
Because I'd rather be lonely
Someone, Someone, Someone set me free

Her stare is like a thousand suns
That blind my eyes and take my sight
And leave me crawling in the dark
A helpless victim in the night
Her voice is like a symphony
That plays a lovely melody
But careful, don't be hypnotized
Or say goodbye to being free

Go on, Go on, get away from me
Because I'd rather be lonely
Someone, Someone, Someone set me free

Go on...




Come back to me,
Now come back to me...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Adelphi's song "Spank" use metaphorical language to describe the singer's emotional state. The image of a heart beating like a clock that "can't speed up and won't slow down" suggests a feeling of being trapped or stuck in a particular emotional state. This feeling is compounded by the second line, in which the singer compares their lover to waves within the sea - another image of something that is seemingly uncontrollable and impossible to resist. The kiss of the lover is described as sending ripples around, suggesting that their influence is far-reaching.


However, the singer is not entirely helpless. When they start to sink - perhaps in the face of their lover's overwhelming presence - their mind begins remembering all the years they spent together. This could be interpreted as a call back to happier times, or to a sense of nostalgia for a past that cannot be regained. Either way, the singer resolves to take their chances with the deep - to accept whatever may come next.


The chorus of the song repeats the same phrase twice: "Go on, go on get away from me / Because I'd rather be lonely / Someone, Someone, Someone set me free". Here, the singer reveals a desire to be free of their lover - despite the fact that they are in love. The repetition of "someone" suggests that the singer is unsure of who can help them break free of their lover's hold.


In the second verse, the lover is described in even more poetic language. Their stare is like "a thousand suns" that can "blind my eyes and take my sight" - suggesting an overwhelming, all-encompassing presence. The image of crawling in the dark as a "helpless victim" reinforces this idea. However, despite the lover's powerful presence, the singer acknowledges that their voice is like a symphony that plays a "lovely melody". The cautionary note at the end of the verse suggests that the singer is aware of the danger of being too entranced by their lover.


Line by Line Meaning

My heart beats like a clock
My heart beats with a steady rhythm


That can't speed up and won't slow down
It's beating at a constant pace with no change


She moves like waves within the sea
Her body moves in a fluid and graceful way


Her kiss sends ripples all around
Her kiss creates a ripple effect in my body and mind


And just before I start to sink
Right before I feel like I'm drowning


My mind begins remembering
My mind recollects all the past memories


All those year we spent afloat
The years we spent together, without any problems or issues


Well, I'll take my chances with the deep
I'll risk everything for her, no matter how deep it may be


Go on, go on get away from me
Leave me alone and go somewhere else


Because I'd rather be lonely
I prefer being alone than with someone who blinds me


Someone, Someone, Someone set me free
I need someone to free me from this hypnotic state


Her stare is like a thousand suns
Her gaze is too intense for me to handle, it's blinding


That blind my eyes and take my sight
It makes me unable to see anything else around me


And leave me crawling in the dark
I'm left helpless, unable to stand on my feet


A helpless victim in the night
I'm powerless in front of her, just like the night has no control over the day


Her voice is like a symphony
Her voice is as melodious and beautiful as a symphony


That plays a lovely melody
Her voice creates an enchanting tune


But careful, don't be hypnotized
Be cautious not to be drawn into her spell


Or say goodbye to being free
Or else you'll lose your freedom and be trapped forever


Come back to me,
Return to me


Now come back to me...
Right now, I need you to come back to me
