Spirits
Eric Nally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake shake crazy
Freak in the night
Djs playing all they songs that they like
And we don't feel no spirit
We're doin' it right
You've got to shake shake crazy
Shake it all night
Do what you want
With who you love
I don't mind
Do what you want (Do what you want)
Do what you want (Do what you want)
With who you love

Shake shake crazy
Shake it all night
If you're feeling the music you know you can't lose it
You're doing something right
Well, if you're feet keep movin' look into my eyes
Shake shake baby
Shake it all night
Shake shake crazy
Freak in the night

Do what you want
With who you love
I don't mind
Do what you want (Do what you want)
Do what you want (Do what you want)
With who you love
(Who do you love?)

Hands up, ghost ride, loop-de-loop rollercoaster
Hair down, twist tie, bulldozer roll 'em over
Hands up, ghost ride, loop-de-loop rollercoaster
Hair down, twist tie, bulldozer roll 'em over

Do what you want (Do what you want)
With who you love (Who do you love?)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
Do what you want (Do what you want)
Do what you want (Woo! Do what you want)
Do what you want (Do what you want)
With who you love (Who do you love?)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
Do what you want (Do what you want)
Do what you want (Woo! Do what you want)




With who you love
With who you love

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Eric Nally's song "Spirits" talks about embracing the moment and losing oneself to the music in a party scene. It describes the feeling of complete abandonment to the sound and the people around. The repetition of "Shake shake crazy" and "Shake it all night" portrays the physical movement and the energy of the atmosphere. The idea of "freak in the night" hints at a freestyle behavior where people are free to act as they please or dance the way they want. The line "And we don't feel no spirit" may suggest that they do not need any substance, but the music alone is enough to lift their spirits at the moment.


The chorus line, "Do what you want, with who you love, I don't mind" is a self-explanatory call for individuality and self-expression. The song's perspective is encouraging the listener to let go of their inhibitions and to live life to the fullest as freely as they want. The repetition of "Do what you want" might be interpreted as a celebration of personal agency.


It is important to note that the pre-chorus to the song is a display of the general mood of uninhibited release and pure enjoyment. It blends with the overall thematic direction of liberation, acceptance, and unbridled behavior that permeates the song. The ironic phrase "Ghost ride, loop-de-loop rollercoaster" seems like a playful attempt to describe any fantastic, surreal experience that might come from shattering conventions, letting loose, and embracing self-indulgence.

I Like It.
Wicked song

sooty

the song “oh lord” is insane

Mini Dwarf

Most of Foxy Shazam's s/t album fits in this comment section but check out these two Demo's by them because they fit in here so well, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, as well as Teenage Demon Baby. These songs are good examples of Eric's vocal range

Lisa Curley

Exactly what I was thinking. He has such an amazing range! That's what I'm searching for today; another song that shows it off.

Sounds great, Eric! I’ve loved everything you’ve done ever since I paid $2 to get into some crazy little show in Portland, Oregon. Your lyrics have brought me comfort through many hopeless nights, and you’ve also helped me celebrate the good times. Thank you for always sharing with us what you’re creating.

Cleome

This is perfect for pride right now, but also in general. I'm gonna be listening to this on repeat for summer! Thanks Nally for this awesome bop ♡
