Sparkles
Motel Connection Lyrics

The lyrics to Motel Connection's song "Sparkles" are filled with intense emotion and vivid imagery. In the first line, "As you won," the singer is acknowledging some sort of victory or accomplishment by the person addressed in the lyrics. However, instead of celebrating this victory, the singer immediately says they "ran off." This could indicate that the singer was jealous or upset by the other person's success, and couldn't bear to be around them anymore.

In the next line, "I grew sparkles," the singer describes the way they responded to this situation. Instead of wallowing in misery, they found a way to create something beautiful - perhaps a symbol of their own success, despite their feelings of inferiority. The next line, "Time gets job," could be read as an acknowledgement of the constant march of time, and the way that it often feels like a job or a burden to keep up with it. The final lines, "Fails and hurts us / 'Round and inside / As you won (RIP)," suggest a deeper pain and sense of loss. The singer seems to be grappling with feelings of failure and hurt, both internally and externally, and acknowledging that their relationship with the person who won the victory is now different (or perhaps over entirely).
