Spinning Wheel
Black Honey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darling, like the tumble leaves
But in the cobwebs of my heart
And take all that you can from me
I'll not pretend to be
Anyone who's always not in love
And I am back to yesterday
Savoring my sorrow days
Love is just a spinning wheel
Darling, like the tumble leaves
But in the cobwebs of my heart
And take all that you can from me
I'll not pretend to be
Anyone who's always not in love
And I am back to yesterday
Savoring my sorrow days
I'll pick up the pieces and rewind
Television, call me princess
Television, take him away
Television, won't you say my name?
Love is just a spinning wheel
Darling, like the tumble leaves
But in the cobwebs of my heart
Take all that you can from me
I'll not pretend to be
Anyone who's always not in love
The song "Spinning Wheel" by Black Honey speaks about the ephemeral nature of love and how it can be likened to a spinning wheel. The lyrics suggest that love is as unpredictable and temporary as the changing seasons. It is like a tumbleweed that rolls around aimlessly, just like how love can make people feel like they are spiraling out of control. The singer acknowledges that her heart is filled with cobwebs, indicating that it has not been touched in a while. She then invites her lover to take what they can from her, implying that she is willing to give her love another chance despite the pain of her past experiences.
The lines "I am back to yesterday, savoring my sorrow days" reveal that the singer has been hurt in the past, and she is now going through a period of reflection, where she laments the missed opportunities and lost moments. Despite this, she is determined to mend herself by picking up the broken pieces and starting anew. The last lines of the song "Television, call me princess" and "Television, take him away" allude to seeking an escape from reality through the distraction of watching TV, even if it is only a brief respite from the pain.

"Прядильное колесо"
Любовь – это просто прядильное колесо,
Любимый, это как падающие листья
Только в паутину моего сердца
И возьми всё, что только можешь взять от меня
Я не буду притворяться, что
Я из тех, кто никогда не испытывает любви
И я возвращаюсь в прошлое,
Наслаждаясь своими печальными днями,
Я оправлюсь после всех бед и перемотаю всё на начало
Любовь – это просто прядильное колесо,
Любимый, это как падающие листья
Только в паутину моего сердца
И возьми всё, что только можешь взять от меня
Я не буду притворяться, что
Я из тех, кто никогда не испытывает любви
И я возвращаюсь в прошлое,
Наслаждаясь своими печальными днями
Я оправлюсь после всех бед и перемотаю всё на начало
Телевидение, зови меня принцессой
Телевидение, убери его подальше
Телевидение, неужели ты не скажешь моё имя?
Любовь – это просто прядильное колесо,
Любимый, это как падающие листья
Только в паутину моего сердца
Возьми всё, что только можешь взять от меня
Я не буду притворяться, что
Я из тех, кто никогда не испытывает любви
