Spiral
Nightrage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pattern I follow. Turn into silence, but still I hear
the silence scream. Oh how this fills me up.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance. I cannot take it.
I have to break this. Ware it down in small pieces.
I can feel it now. I can see it now. I'm in a downfall spiral.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance.
Lead by your words and your lies. I cannot take it.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance. I cannot take it.
Oh how this parasite consumes my inner bliss.
I can't take this much more. Take me away.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance.
Lead by the words and your lies.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance. I cannot take it.
Searching for a moment like this.
Raised with your act as a guidance.
Lead by your words and your lies. I cannot take it.
The lyrics to Nightrage's song Spiral describe a feeling of desperation and frustration that comes from being trapped in a cycle of harmful behavior that has been learned from someone else. The song's narrator feels as though they are spiraling downward and cannot escape the hold that this person has on them, even though they know that their actions are wrong. The opening lines describe a mixture of fear and anger that clash together in the singer's mind, creating a sense of chaos that they are unable to control. Despite the fact that the sounds around them have quieted down, the singer still hears a sense of emptiness that is almost deafening.
Throughout the rest of the song, the singer continues to express their feelings of being trapped and helpless. They describe how they were raised to follow someone else's lead and cannot break free from it, even when they know they should. The repetition of the phrase "searching for a moment like this" shows how the singer is constantly searching for a way out of this cycle, but unable to find it because they are constantly guided by the other person's actions and lies. The final line, "I cannot take it," shows that the singer is at the breaking point and needs to find a way to escape.
