Spinning
Ilsey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Steady my breath in the wake of love
Heavy on down, yeah, the weight's too much
I don't wanna drown, but the waves keep on rolling
Pour out what's left in a heart-shaped case
You can have it all, yeah, it's yours to break
If I don't get it right with you this time, I'm hopeless

But sometimes, you think it's been long enough
But old wounds carry, carry into brand new love
And words won't make up for the hurt I've caused
But I'll make right whatever I've done

When I'm spinning
You bring me back to earth and you fix it
When nothing's making sense and I'm dizzy
Yeah, you're the only one that I want, mhm

When I'm spinning
You bring me back to earth and you fix it
When nothing's making sense and I'm dizzy
Yeah, you're the only one that I want
(On and on, on and on) mhm

On and on and on
feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on
feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on
feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on
feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on

(On and on and on)




(feeling on and on)
(On and on, on and on, on and on)

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of the song, the singer expresses feeling overwhelmed by the weight of love and the intensity of the emotions involved. The recurring theme of drowning in the waves symbolizes being consumed by these deep feelings. The heart-shaped case mentioned represents vulnerability and offering up one's heart to someone else, knowing that it could potentially be broken in the process. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of past mistakes, admitting the possibility of failure in the current relationship if things aren't handled correctly.


The second verse delves into the complexities of past traumas and how they can impact present relationships. The singer acknowledges the lingering effects of old wounds on new love, emphasizing the importance of addressing and healing from past hurts. Despite recognizing the pain they have caused in the past, the singer expresses a willingness to make amends and take responsibility for their actions. This section reflects a sense of introspection and a desire for reconciliation and growth in the relationship.


The chorus captures a sense of disorientation and confusion in the midst of strong emotions, symbolized by the sensation of spinning. The reassurance and grounding presence of a significant other are highlighted as a source of stability and clarity amidst the chaos. The lyrics speak to the profound connection and reliance on this person to provide comfort and guidance during turbulent times. The repetition of "you bring me back to earth and you fix it" emphasizes the supportive and comforting role of the partner in the singer's life.


The closing repetition of "On and on and on" and "feeling on and on" conveys a cyclical and continuous nature of emotions and experiences. The phrase "On and on, on and on, on and on" reflects the ongoing journey of navigating through emotions, healing from past wounds, and seeking stability and solace in a relationship. The lyrics overall paint a picture of love's complexities, with themes of vulnerability, forgiveness, and the transformative power of connection and support in overcoming challenges.

Steady my breath in the wake of love
Heavy on down, yeah, the weight's too much
I don't wanna drown, but the waves keep on rolling
Pour out what's left in a heart-shaped case
You can have it all, yeah, it's yours to break
If I don't get it right with you this time, I'm hopeless
But sometimes, you think it's been long enough
But old wounds carry, carry into brand new love
And words won't make up for the hurt I've caused
But I'll make right whatever I've done
When I'm spinning
You bring me back to earth and you fix it
When nothing's making sense and I'm dizzy
Yeah, you're the only one that I want
When I'm spinning
You bring me back to earth and you fix it
When nothing's making sense and I'm dizzy
Yeah, you're the only one that I want
On and on and on, feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on, feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on, feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on, feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on and on, feeling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on

All the elements in this song are so soothing and trippy. I almost feel like I can really submerge myself into the song.
I just love it so much because it's so special

Perfect classic meets modern. First time in my life an album start to finish, every song is almost as good as the next. 1st Time listening to Mark Ronson 13 great tracks honestly never in my i've ever liked every song on an album. Impressed, speechless and the talent. WOW so good!

Philipp Reuter

Mark, I absolutely love this song. This entire album is so cleansing. I met you last year and I just told you I liked the album but I wish I could’ve told you how much the album got me through dark and depressing times. When the late night feelings tug at me, I play the songs from this album and remember I am not alone. This song particularly is one that lingers in my heart. The quote “but sometimes you think it’s been long enough, but old wounds carry, carry into brand new love.” Oh how hard it is not to bring those old wounds with us. The love may go away but that hurt truly is something that goes on and on.
