Spinning Around
Imany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much belief in apathy.
Now you can always see.
Spinning around you were always a dancer in my eyes now.
Falling too fast always seemed to come easy to me.
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
All of the times you turned away,
something inside wanted to stay.
Don't want to walk away
Spinning around you were always a dancer in my eyes now.
Falling too fast always seemed to come easy to me.
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
She comes round tonight.
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Spinning around you were always a dancer in my eyes now.
Falling too fast always seemed to come easy to me.
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
Don't you know why?
She comes round tonight.
She comes round tonight
The lyrics of Imany's song "Spinning Around" are open to interpretation, yet they seem to revolve around a relationship that has changed or ended. The opening line "You never could take what you could see" hints at a lack of insight, barriers that prevented one person from fully seeing or understanding the other. The subsequent line, "Too much belief in apathy" suggests a certain indifference or detachment that might have contributed to the relationship's downfall. However, the chorus brings a different perspective, one where the other person is seen as a dancer, someone who was always moving, spinning around in a mesmerizing way. Falling too fast might have been a characteristic of the singer, while the one who inspired the song remained elusive, mysterious.
The repetition of the phrase, "Don't you know why?" can be seen as a plea, an attempt to understand the reasons behind the separation, the doubts, the missed opportunities. The mention of "she comes round tonight" suggests that the singer might feel a certain longing or hope, a desire to reconnect with the person who inspired these lyrics. The lines "All of the times you turned away / something inside wanted to stay" show a conflict, an inner battle between the desire to leave and the desire to stay, to make things work.
In conclusion, "Spinning Around" by Imany delivers a poignant and somewhat mysterious message. The lyrics suggest a relationship that was marked by misunderstandings, doubts, and a certain detachment, yet remains memorable and inspiring for the singer. The chorus brings a touch of nostalgia and longing, while the repetition of "Don't you know why?" hints at a desire for closure or understanding.
