Spark
Ghost Town Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't imagine myself on my deathbed
Spent utterly with the lust to touch the next world
Oh, Father, I confess my sins
Like secrets in my soul hidden under my mattress

I've slept with faith and found
My arms bound behind my back, my life is upside down
I can see it clearly now
My eyes are closed so tight, technicolor's spillin' out

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again
We are, we are the ones to blame
In every end we start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn, you win or you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn but you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again

All the screws in our head are being tightened
Now we live in a world of constantly being frightened
Watch the TV screen, they say, "That's all you need
Burn the books and pick up the magazines"

I've slept with faith and found
My arms bound behind my back, my life is upside down
I can see it clearly now
My eyes are closed so tight, technicolor's spillin' out

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again
We are, we are the ones to blame
In every end we start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn, you win or you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn but you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again

Make our mark in the dark like we've done from the start
It's time to live from the heart, that's what sets us apart
Save the world from itself, it all starts with a spark

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again
We are, we are the ones to blame
In every end we start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn, you win or you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn but you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again





We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end we start it all over again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ghost Town's song, "Spark," bring to light the human desire to touch the next world, even when faced with imminent death. The singer confesses his sins, likening them to secrets hidden under his mattress. He admits to having slept with faith, and found his arms bound behind his back, with his life turned upside down. However, his eyes are shut tight, and technicolor's spilling out, showcasing his vivid imagination.


The chorus asserts that "we are the spark that lights the flame," thereby taking ownership of the cause-and-effect cycle of life. It suggests that with every end, there is a new beginning, and humans are the ones to blame for the constant cycle. The lines "It's all up to you, You live, or you burn, you win or you lose, You gotta choose" ask individuals to take control of their lives and make choices, for they determine whether they live or die.


The second verse portrays the current world, where people live in fear and are continually being frightened. The TV screens dictate what the people need to do or think, suggesting that they burn books and pick up magazines. However, the bridge brings hope and positivity as it talks about waking up from their slumber and living from the heart, what makes us different from the masses. It encourages humans to save the world from itself, starting with a spark, implying that even small steps can cause significant changes.


Overall, the lyrics of "Spark" inspire individuals to take control of their lives and make choices that can cause a significant impact. It talks about how humans are accountable for their lives and how their choices can impact their fate. It urges people to awaken from their slumber and start living from the heart, with small steps of progress leading to milestones.

I can't imagine myself on my deathbed
I cannot fathom my final moments


Spent utterly with the lust to touch the next world
Desiring to experience what comes after death


Oh, Father, I confess my sins
Addressing to a higher power, asking for forgiveness


Like secrets in my soul hidden under my mattress
Repenting dark thoughts and keeping them concealed


My arms bound behind my back, my life is upside down
Feeling trapped and hopeless


My eyes are closed so tight, technicolor's spillin' out
Surrendering oneself to imagination, feeling overwhelmed with emotions


We are the spark that lights the flame
We humans are capable of igniting a transformation, a new beginning


In every end we start it all over again
Even though things may come to an end, humans have the power to start anew

All the screws in our head are being tightened

Now we live in a world of constantly being frightened
We are living in an age of fear, paranoia


Watch the TV screen, they say, 'That's all you need
Mass media is dictating the norms, values for society


Burn the books and pick up the magazines'
A metaphor for the commercialization and commodification of culture


Make our mark in the dark like we've done from the start
Humans have been creating and leaving their mark on the world since the beginning of time


It's time to live from the heart, that's what sets us apart
Living authentically, being true to oneself is what makes humans unique


Save the world from itself, it all starts with a spark

LYRICS
I can imagine myself on my death bed
Spent utterly with the lust to touch the next world
oh father, i confess my sins,
Like secrets in my soul hidden under my mattress.

I've..
slept with faith and found
My arms bound behind my back
My life upside down
I..
can see it clearly now
My eyes close tight
Technicolor's spillin' out

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again
We are, we are
The ones to blame
In every end,
We start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn
You win and you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn
But you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again!

All the screws in our head are being tightened.
Now we live In a world of constantly being frightened.
Watch the TV screen, they say “that's all you need,
Burn the books and pick up the magazines.”

I've..
slept with faith and found
My arms bound behind my back
My life upside down
I..
can see it clearly now
My eyes close tight
Technicolor's spillin' out

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again
We are, we are
The ones to blame
In every end,
We start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn
You win and you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn
But you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again!


Make our mark in the dark
Like we've done from the start
It's time to live from the heart
That's what sets us apart
Save the world from its self
It all starts with a spark
with this spark we will fuel it
I can't imagine my thoughts being unsaid

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again
We are, we are
The ones to blame
In every end,
We start it all over again

It's all up to you
You live or you burn
You win and you lose
It's all up to you
You live or you burn
But you gotta choose

We are the spark that lights the flame
In every end,
We start it all over again!
