Sparkle
Maya Isac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going in circles, going in circles
I should get away from here
There's a better place for me, better place for me
Trying to play my symphony
But there's so much noise around, so much noise around
Constantly fighting for space
I need to clear my mind, need to clear my mind
I want to be empty, be empty
(B M T)
A sparkle lights a fire
I'm high, I'm a butterfly
A blooming flower, but I am thirsty
A drop of water
And another drop of water
Sunlight, I'll soon be rising
(I am a burtterfly)
How am I supposed to see?
If I'm in darkness, I'm in darkness
Constantly restless, worried
I got a gun to my head, gun to my head
I got a gun to my head, gun to my head
I got a gun to my head, gun to my head
I want to be empty, be empty
(B M T)
A sparkle lights a fire...
I'm high, I'm a butterfly
A blooming flower, but I am thirsty
A drop of water
And another drop of water
Sunlight, I'll soon be rising
(I am a butterfly)
There's a better place for me, better place for me
There's a better place for me, better place for me
I'm high, I'm a butterfly
I am thirsty
And another drop of water
I'll soon be rising
(I am a butterfly)
A sparkle light a fire
I'm high, I'm a butterfly
A drop of water and another drop of water
I'll soon be rising
In "Sparkle," Maya Isac sings about feeling lost and stuck in a cycle, longing to break free and find a better place. She describes the overwhelming noise and chaos around her, making it difficult to focus and create her art (symbolized by playing her symphony). The repetition of the phrase "gun to my head" adds a sense of urgency and danger to the song, perhaps indicating the pressure she feels to succeed or the consequences of not breaking free from her current situation.
However, in the chorus, Isac shifts to a more hopeful tone as she sings about a spark that lights a fire within her. This spark causes her to feel alive and free, like a butterfly or blooming flower. She craves a drop of water to quench her thirst and continue to rise towards the sunlight. By the end of the song, she concludes that there is a better place for her and that she will soon be rising.
The lyrics of "Sparkle" can be interpreted in many ways, but the overall theme seems to be about the struggle to chase one's dreams while feeling trapped in a negative environment or mindset. The gun to the head imagery can be seen as a metaphor for the internal pressure we put on ourselves to succeed. However, the spark and hope for a better future illustrates the possibility of breaking free from our circumstances and finding joy.

The popularity of this video reflects how so small amount of people understands what sheโs singing about. Sad really that weโre living in a world that we canโt even enjoy because people in power wonโt let us. Itโs such a beautiful place but we make it hell and we donโt even realise. I hope one day love, peace takes over and we can all live in harmony!....
