Spin
Hayes Darren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I start things over And change your mind Can I sing a melody Press rewind Can I move your feet make your heart skip a beat Can a simple tune flow through you?
When the music feels like this When you lose control you gotta go with it Ten feet high Flyin' above the sky Your problems don't exist When music feels like this
No money left in Africa Starvin' to death In Bosnia we close our eyes and hide a nation cries And In the West TV Possessed and weight obsessed The media dissects, infects We think real life is reality TV
When the music feels like this When you lose control you gotta go with it Ten feet high Flying above the sky Your problems don't exist When music feels like this
When the Music feels like this DJ take control And Grab a hold of me Spin that wheel Tell me how to feel I like the shape I'm in When music feels like this
Bringin' the beat back Stompin' the floor Dancin' like a booty never bounced before
Poppin' to the back beat Up on the one Smack Jack Freakin' now you're overcome
When the music feels like this When you lose control you gotta go with it Ten feet high Flying above the sky Your problems don't exist When music feels like this
When the Music feels like this DJ take control And Grab a hold of me Spin that wheel Tell me how to feel I like the shape I'm in When music feels like this
Let the music in Let the DJ spin Let the music in Coz the music should feel like this Feel the music
The song "Spin" by Hayes Darren is a criticism of society's issues and the media's unrealistic portrayal of reality. The first verse talks about how governments are elected without people voting, political correctness is a joke, and how music is censored while children are given guns. He also points out the ongoing conflict over Jerusalem and how love can end in death. The second verse addresses the lack of resources in Africa, the hiding of problems in Bosnia, and the obsession with appearances in the West.
However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The music is a way to forget about all of these issues and just lose control. When the music is good, it can make you feel ten feet high, flying above the sky, and forget about all of your problems. The third verse talks about how the DJ can take control and make you feel something through music. It's an escape from reality and a way to just let go and dance.
The overall message of the song is that while society has many problems, music is a way to find joy and forget about the issues. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being able to let go and just enjoy the moment.
