Spirit
Alex m.o.r.p.h feat Katie Marn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't have me
I won't sign my life away
Not even gonna listen
'Cause your words are based on lies
The truth escapes you
You put your foot in your mouth
Let me tell you what it's all about
I feel it here, the feeling is real
It's the one thing you can't take away
I feel it here, the feeling won't go
Gonna let you know
You can't have me, I won't give it
You can't take it away

Your foolish tongue
Has been divided
Two paths to follow
I'm on the side of the truth
'Cause I'm united to something real
Something that you'll never be

I feel it here, the feeling is real
It's the one thing you can't take away
I feel it here, the feeling won't go
Gonna let you know
You can't have me, I won't give it
You can't take it away
No

H2O, go

One, nine, eight, four

I feel it here, the feeling is real
It's the one thing you can't take away
I feel it here, the feeling won't go
Gonna let you know
You can't have me, I won't give it




You can't take it away
No

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to this song are actually from Nirvana's iconic hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which has been covered and remixed countless times by different artists. The lyrics are quite cryptic and open to interpretation, but generally touch on themes of youth, rebellion, and a nihilistic attitude towards life. The first few lines convey a sense of wanting to escape reality and engage in reckless behavior with friends, even if it means losing oneself in the process. The phrase "fun to lose and to pretend" is particularly interesting, as it suggests that the singer is aware that their behavior may not be sustainable, but they enjoy the temporary thrill of it nonetheless.


The next few lines are more overtly rebellious, with the singer describing a "dirty word" that they know, but the audience is not privy to. This sense of secrecy and a subversive attitude is further emphasized later on by the line "I feel stupid and contagious", which suggests that the singer is deliberately trying to spread their sense of nihilism and rebellion to others. The repeated phrases of "Hello, hello, hello, how low?" are somewhat nonsensical, but they contribute to the overall disorienting and anarchic feel of the song.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of entertainment and the idea that partying and living in the moment is a form of escapism. The line "with the lights out, it's less dangerous" suggests that the singer and their friends feel more free to let loose in the dark, away from prying eyes. The chorus also features the iconic line "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido", which is somewhat of a nonsense phrase but has become famous for its catchy rhythm and ability to evoke a sense of youthful rebellion and disregard for social norms.


Overall, the lyrics to "Spirit" are somewhat enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of youthful rebellion and a longing for temporary escape from the mundanity of everyday life.

Our close-knit community will remain unchanged no matter what challenges come our way.
