Spun
Overcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth
This day remains charred
Immersed in the pools of reason
Deny the weight of gravity
Spiraling in rhythm of heartbeats
Embracing this virgin reality
Chemical agent transforms me
Angel wings rise, unbound from flesh
Sight open to all dimensions
Revel in the power on this day of rebirth
Like the moments of death
My life streams by in flashes
Inter wound
With the dream of the ancient
Annotated with knowledge from journeys of past
Bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting
Not losing myself but growing into everything
Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending.
The song "Spun" by Overcast is a representation of a personal journey towards self-discovery and a rebirth of ideals. The opening line, "Scrambling to regain the shards of ideals shattered before me," suggests that the singer is attempting to reclaim the pieces of their identity that were lost or damaged in some way. This line is followed by, "Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth," indicating that the singer is fearful of the limitations that their physical body and the world around them impose on their budding sense of self.
The chorus, "This day remains charred, immersed in the pools of reason. Deny the weight of gravity, spiraling in rhythm of heartbeats. Embracing this virgin reality," suggests that the singer is in a state of transition as they attempt to move beyond what they know and embrace a new way of being. The "pools of reason" could represent the rational and logical thinking that has held the singer back in the past, whilst "denying the weight of gravity" could be a metaphor for the singer breaking free from the constraints of their past self.
The second verse describes the singer's transformative experience. "Chemical agent transforms me, angel wings rise unbound from flesh" implies a spiritual or psychedelic experience where the singer feels like they are transcending their physical form. The line, "Sight open to all dimensions," suggests that the singer is now able to perceive and experience things beyond the physical world. The verse ends with the line, "revel in the power on this day of rebirth," indicating that the singer feels empowered by their new sense of self.
The final verse, "like the moments of death, my life streams by in flashes. Inter wound with the dream of the ancient," reflects on the fragility of human life and the fleeting nature of time. The knowledge gained from past experiences is "bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting," suggesting that the singer is achieving a sense of enlightenment and becoming more interconnected with the universe as a whole. The song closes with the line, "Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending," which could be a reference to the cyclical nature of life and the ongoing process of self-discovery.

Scrambling to regain the shards of ideals shattered before me
Frantically trying to recollect the pieces of my broken principles
Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth
Filled with fear to let go of earthly attachments
This day remains charred
This moment remains scarred
Immersed in the pools of reason
Drowned in the depths of logic and rationality
Deny the weight of gravity
Rejecting the heaviness of the physical world
Spiraling in rhythm of heartbeats
Twirling in synchronization with my pulse's tempo
Embracing this virgin reality
Accepting and welcoming this new, unexplored existence
Chemical agent transforms me
A substance alters my state
Angel wings rise, unbound from flesh
My soul soars, free from bodily restraints
Sight open to all dimensions
My vision expanded to encompass every plane of existence
Revel in the power on this day of rebirth
Celebrating the authority over my renewed life
Like the moments of death
Similar to glimpses of passing away
My life streams by in flashes
My existence rushes by in bursts of imagery
Inter wound
Intertwined
With the dream of the ancient
With the vision of long-gone eras
Annotated with knowledge from journeys of past
Noted with information obtained from previous expeditions
Bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting
Gradually seeping into the rivers of eternity
Not losing myself but growing into everything
Not forfeiting my identity, but rather expanding into everything
Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending
Whirling, contemplating, unraveling, incessant
