Spiral
D-Unity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spiraled today
Eventually I stopped but never elevated
I'm stuck inside my mind
Lights and sounds won't penetrate no matter how they try
I thought that we were past this
I thought I'd rectified
The way the world operates and I just watch it fly
Tell myself the truth but that was last month's big breakthrough
And it's hollow in the air
And now I'm back to middle school
When I talk to you
When I talk to you
Tell me what does out of it
Even really mean
It's a pattern of my life that's playing
Playing on repeat
Funny how through all of this
My biggest regret
I don't have enough black clothes to represent my head
I thought that we were past this
I thought I'd rectified
The way the world operates and I just watch it fly
Tell myself the truth
I shouldn't be that into you
But my thoughts are frozen in a shock
And I'm back to middle school
When I talk to you
I thought that we were past this
I thought I'd rectified
The way the world operates and I just watch it fly
Tell myself the truth but that was last month's big breakthrough
And it's hollow in the air




And now I'm back to middle school
When I talk to you
