Spun
Group love. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been sleeping in a bus this thrust singing la la la la
I got the feeling of a nickel and dime
That was probably a lie for the subconscious state of mind
Rush rush rush for the go don't scatter too much
I'll skip a count down ? fish scales, free falling below
I'm falling for love
Reason reason reason, don't... love go
Don't go (Are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Get reason, reason reason is go! (Are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Unspun (Are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
I want it ragged tag love in bag Volume five trip try O' five singing la la la la
Rush rush rush down in sound
It's your ride top side hack tack
Free falling below
I'm falling for love
Reason reason reason It's gone so low
Spun (are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Don't go (are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Get reason, reason, reason is go (are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Unspun (are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?) (are you lonesome, are you, are you lonesome?)
Ha ha ha! Spun, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics to "Spun" by Grouplove are somewhat abstract and difficult to fully decipher. The song appears to be about a state of mind induced by drugs, possibly methamphetamine or MDMA. The opening lines "I want it ragged tag up in a bag / I've been sleeping in a bus this thrust singing la la la la" suggest a desire for a drug that can be quickly and easily consumed. The repetition of "la la la la" creates a sense of disorientation or confusion.
The line "I got the feeling of a nickel and dime / That was probably a lie for the subconscious state of mind" could be a reference to the way that drugs can make the user feel rich, powerful, or on top of the world. However, this feeling is likely a false sense of security created by the drug-induced state of mind.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Spun" and "Are you lonesome?" which can have multiple meanings. "Spun" can refer to being high on drugs, while "Are you lonesome?" could be an allusion to both the famous Elvis Presley song and the loneliness that is often associated with drug addiction. Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the highs and lows of drug use and the emotional and psychological toll it takes.
