Spaces
Martti Franca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me write down your name on a cigarette
And light it up
Just to help me forget
How your hand intertwines with this

Stories tolds and snippetts that feel like ours
Just to find I don't mind what I'd
Be just to be a small part of your life
But just for peace of mind
Love me even if it is to fill the spaces
Love me, even if I know it's just to feel alive
For a moment you're gone
Just to fill the spaces in his arms

What a time to forget all my sensibilities
Let the heart speak it's mind
Let it get the best of me
Even with the coldest shoulder I'll find a way to keep you warm
Find a bottom of a bottle while holding my tounge
But just for peace of mind
Love me even if it is to fill the spaces
Love me, even if I know it's just to feel alive
For a moment you're gone
Just to fill the spaces in his arms
Coz' I know that deep in your heart there's a little space for me
I saw it when I looked in your eyes
In your smile when you kiss me

Love me even if it is to fill the spaces
Love me, even if I know your heart was never mine
Just take your time




I'll always have space for you
I'll never get over you

Overall Meaning

The song "Spaces" by Martti Franca is about unrequited love and trying to fill the emptiness left by the person you love. The first verse speaks of the singer's desire to forget their love by writing their name on a cigarette, lighting it up and inhaling, hoping it will help them forget the memories they have shared. They acknowledge that the two of them had special moments, but it doesn't mean anything as they are just a small part of the other person's life. The chorus calls on the person to love them, just for the sake of filling the spaces left in their life, even if it's just for a moment. The singer acknowledges that they know deep down that they aren't meant to be together, but they still want to be loved.


The second verse shows the depth of the singer's emotions. They are ready to forget all their sensibilities and let their heart speak its mind. They are willing to do anything to keep the other person warm, even finding solace in alcohol. The chorus is repeated, and the singer again acknowledges that the other person's heart was never theirs to begin with, but they will always have space for them and will never get over them.


Overall, "Spaces" is a heart-wrenching song that speaks of the pain and longing of unrequited love. It highlights the desperation and the struggle to forget someone and move on.

"I don't mind what I'd be just to be a small part of your life" hits different now that I look back on how I had been, and now that I am no longer part of his life. Anyway, thank you for bringing life to this masterpiece, Martti.
