The Spirit Remains the Same
Karmakanic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more step closer to death
One more step closer to life

If I die tomorrow, I must live today
If my heart's full of sorrow, I just blow it away
Take love from my soul and sacrifice my name…
But the spirit remains the same
Feeling low but flying so high
High above stars in the sky

If I die tomorrow, I must live today
If my heart's full of sorrow, I just blow it away




Take love from my soul and sacrifice my name…
But the spirit remains the same

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Karmakanic's song The Spirit Remains the Same are quite straightforward and focuses on the concept of mortality and how our spirit lives on even after death. The opening lines "One more step closer to death, One more step closer to life" sets a somber tone, hinting at the inevitable cycle of life and death. The following lines "If I die tomorrow, I must live today, If my heart's full of sorrow, I just blow it away" suggest that despite the fear of death, we must live in the present and not let our sorrows hold us back. The lines "Take love from my soul and sacrifice my name, But the spirit remains the same" further reiterate the idea that the essence of who we are, our spirit, remains unchanged even if our physical body ceases to exist.


The second verse of the song adds a contrasting emotion to the mix, with the lines "Feeling low but flying so high, High above stars in the sky" suggesting a sense of liberation and transcendence. This juxtaposes the first verse's more grounded and melancholic tone, with the lyrics indicating that despite the sadness that comes with the process of aging and dying, there is also a chance for growth and enlightenment.


Overall, the song's lyrics are thought-provoking and contemplative, encouraging listeners to embrace life and acknowledge the inevitability of death while reminding us that our spirit, the true essence of who we are, continues to exist even after we pass on.
