Their music is described as a casually-indefinable, artistic paradise of its own, built upon a bedrock of lush electronic tones and analog textures, stomp-and-clap guitars and heart-swelling vocals.
Spoonful
Grizfolk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just a little bit, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Leavin' a wake
Leavin' a big, big scar
For good times' sake
Show me that two-step once more
Never look back, when we were wild and free
Never let go of a good reason to believe
You give me just a little, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just a little bit, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just enough to hold me over
It's never enough to hold me over
I wish you the best
It's gonna be a long, long ride
You should get some rest
Right here by my side
Never look back, when we were wild and free
Never let go of a good reason to believe
You give me just a little, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just a little bit, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
If the plan don't come easy
Then the pain, it won't leave me
And I don't want to fight it no more
Fight it no more
You give me just a little, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just a little bit, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
You give me just a little, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
Just a little bit, just to get me by
Just a spoonful, it's never enough to hold me over
The lyrics to Grizfolk's song "Spoonful" are a powerful commentary on addiction and the struggle to find fulfillment. The repeated phrase "just a little bit, just to get me by" can be interpreted as a reference to addiction, as the singer seems to be dependent on a small amount of something to get them through the day. The use of the word "spoonful" may also allude to drug use. The singer acknowledges that this small amount is never enough to truly satisfy them, leaving them with a feeling of emptiness and the need for more.
The references to leaving a wake and a big scar suggest that the singer's addiction has had negative consequences, possibly harming those around them. However, they still long for the good times and a return to a simpler, more carefree life. The lines "never look back, when we were wild and free, never let go of a good reason to believe" hint at a nostalgia for the past and a belief that there is hope for the future. The final lines suggesting a desire to give up the fight against addiction and be carried by someone else further highlights the struggle and desperation of addiction.

Que hermosa época. Y me hubiese encantado vivirla. Mi madre perteneció a ella y debió ser hermoso. Ojalá madre estuvieras aquí para guiarme.
