Methwitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spiral
Spiral
I can't wallow any longer
My pain only makes them stronger
They say the only escape is severing the vein
I drag the razor down my wrist
I bleed out until I turn grey
I crave for my flesh to decay
I try to eject my soul so I can drift away
They drag me further down the pit
I'm fucking here to stay
Endless suffering
I am suffering
Downward spiraling
I am suffering
Downward spiraling
Spiral
Spiral
Spiral
I can't get them out of my head
I thought by now that I'd be dead
They keep my spirit alive so I can suffer more
They are the masters of torment
And I'm the fucking whore
Losing sanity
My grasp on existence is flawed
I bleed until there's nothing left
Just like the son of God
I try to drain the demons
From my flesh as I was told
I just spiral down
Until I'm grey and cold
I am suffering
Downward spiraling
I am suffering
Downward spiraling
Purging out my veins
Spiral down the drain
Scarlett drops of rain
Lacerate in vain
My mind slowly drifts into exile
Surrounded by nothingness
A desolate plain of nihil
Down down
I spiral down into the void
My soul resides in darkness
Salvation destroyed
The song "Spiral" by Methwitch deals with themes of pain, suffering, self-harm, and addiction. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle with the pain they feel, which they believe is exacerbated by those around them. The singer contemplates self-harm as a way to escape their pain and goes so far as to cut their wrist. The singer feels trapped and hopeless, spiraling down further and further into their pain and suffering. They are tormented by their own thoughts as well as external influences, which they refer to as "masters of torment." They then say that they spiral down until they are "grey and cold" and that their "salvation is destroyed," suggesting that they see no escape from the suffering they feel.
The song deals with serious topics of mental health and addiction. It portrays a character struggling with pain and suffering, and highlights the potentially fatal consequences of self-harm. The verses, which describe the singer's experience of pain and suffering, are intense and harrowing. The chorus, with its repetition of the word "spiral," emphasizes the singer's feeling of being caught in a downward spiral- with no way out. The final stanza of the song is particularly powerful, describing a character descending into the void of darkness.

I can't wallow any longer
I cannot indulge in emotional suffering anymore
My pain only makes them stronger
My emotional pain empowers those who inflict it upon me
They say the only escape is severing the vein
The only relief from emotional pain is through self-harm
I drag the razor down my wrist
I cut myself with a razor blade
My life bleeds down the drain
My blood runs into the sink
I bleed out until I turn grey
I bleed until I become pale and lifeless
I crave for my flesh to decay
I desire my body to rot
I try to eject my soul so I can drift away
I attempt to detach from consciousness to escape pain
They drag me further down the pit
Those who torment me pull me deeper into emotional despair
I'm fucking here to stay
I feel trapped in my suffering
Endless suffering
Painful experiences that seem never-ending
I am suffering
I am experiencing emotional pain
Downward spiraling
A continuous decline into emotional despair
I can't get them out of my head
I cannot stop thinking about those who inflict emotional pain
I thought by now that I'd be dead
I expected to die from the emotional pain
They keep my spirit alive so I can suffer more
Those who inflict pain prolong my emotional suffering
They are the masters of torment
Those who inflict pain have complete control over me
And I'm the fucking whore
I am powerless and insignificant in comparison to those who cause me pain
Losing sanity
I am becoming mentally unstable
My grasp on existence is flawed
I am unable to maintain a proper sense of reality
Just like the son of God
My suffering is similar to Jesus on the cross
I try to drain the demons
I attempt to rid myself of the emotional pain
From my flesh as I was told
As others have advised me to do
I just spiral down
I am descending further into emotional despair
Until I'm grey and cold
Until I am dead and lifeless
Purging out my veins
I am trying to cleanse myself by cutting
Spiral down the drain
My blood flows down the sink
Scarlett drops of rain
My blood looks like red droplets of water
Lacerate in vain
My efforts to reduce emotional pain through self-harm are futile
My mind slowly drifts into exile
My thoughts gradually disconnect from reality
Surrounded by nothingness
I am alone with my thoughts and pain
A desolate plain of nihil
A barren landscape of hopelessness and despair
Down down
Descending further into the abyss of emotional pain
I spiral down into the void
I am losing myself in the depths of emotional despair
My soul resides in darkness
My innermost self is engulfed in dark emotions
Salvation destroyed
My hope for a better future is shattered
