Spiral
Julien-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only a great open divide
I cannot get around
And what you say you want
Is never closer to the truth
We're in flight
Out of heaven now
A turn into what we'd die for
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
I see no future now
I see us counting down the days
Always
Looking for the out
Not what we say we want
But love is throwing us away
Cannot stay
Turned around
Our fate harder now to swallow
The lyrics to Julien-K's song Spiral delve into the complexities and struggles of relationships. The opening lines, "There is no side you're on, Only a great open divide," sets the tone for the song's theme of the divide that can exist between two people in a relationship despite sharing a bond. The singer laments that he cannot get around this divide, despite what his partner may say she wants. The chorus expresses the idea that they are both spiraling out of control, with each day bringing a new problem or challenge, and a new "denial" of what they actually want. The singer sees no future in their relationship and feels that they are just counting down the days until it inevitably ends.
The second verse builds on this idea, with the singer expressing that they are constantly looking for a way out and rejecting what they say they want in love. Despite the struggles and the fact that love seems to be "throwing us away" and tearing them apart, they cannot seem to leave each other behind. The singer is resigned to their fate, which now feels harder to bear than before. The song's use of the imagery of a spiral is fitting, as it implies a cycle of repeated patterns and behaviors that are difficult to break free from.
Overall, the lyrics to Spiral convey a sense of helplessness and despair in the face of a relationship on the brink of collapse. Despite the difficulties, the two people in the relationship cannot seem to let go of each other, which only adds to their misery.

There is no side you're on
You don't seem to have a particular opinion on this matter
Only a great open divide
It's like there's a big gap between us
I cannot get around
I can't seem to avoid this or move past it
And what you say you want
The things you claim to want
Is never closer to the truth
Seem to drift further and further from reality
We're in flight
We're on the run
Out of heaven now
Away from a place that was once beautiful and peaceful
And down to earth we spiral
We're on a downwards path
A turn into what we'd die for
We're making this choice despite the danger it poses, it's like we're willingly sacrificing ourselves
Each day a new denial
We're actively rejecting the truth
Each day we set a different fire
We keep starting new problems without addressing the existing ones
I see no future now
I'm worried about what's to come
I see us counting down the days
I can't help imagining the exact amount of time we have left
Always
It's constantly happening
Looking for the out
We're trying to find a way out of this situation
Not what we say we want
It's not what we claim to desire
But love is throwing us away
We're being pushed apart by something we once believed in
Cannot stay
It's getting harder to remain here
Turned around
Everything is in reverse order
Our fate harder now to swallow
It's getting more difficult to accept what we're headed towards

There is no side you're on
Only a great open divide
I cannot get around
And what you say you want
Is never closer to the truth
We're in flight, out of heaven now
And down to earth we spiral
A turn into what we'd die for
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
I see no future now
I see us counting down the days
Always looking for the out
Not what we say we want
But love is throwing us away
Cannot stay turned around
And down to earth we spiral
A turn into what we'd die for
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
And down to earth we spiral
Our fate harder now to swallow
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
And down to earth we spiral
A turn into what we'd die for
Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
And down to earth we spiral
Each day a new denial
And down to earth we spiral
Each day a new denial

Each day a new denial
Each day we set a different fire
And down to earth we spiral
Each day a new denial
And down to earth we spiral
Each day a new denial
