Phases Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw it all from start to end
Didn't listen when you said your
Name I said nothing
Didn't have the time to act
Couldn't make a moment last
If only I could just go back and do something
Only a notion, caught off your guard
Think with your heart, you know in a moment
Sometimes a notion is only the start
What could have been? What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
Only a spark
Door closed as the minutes passed
White dot on the TV set
As the picture fades to black, I do nothing
There's a cheap taste to regret
Then you have to live with it
Could it all be different
If I said something?
Only a spark, gone in a moment
Only a notion, caught off your guard
Think with your heart, you know in a moment
Sometimes a notion is only the start
What could have been? What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
Only a spark
Only a spark, gone in a moment
Only a notion, caught off your guard
Think with your heart, you know in a moment
Sometimes a notion is only the start
What could have been? What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
What could have been? What could have been?
What could have been will haunt you
In the song "Spark" by Phases, the lyrics delve into themes of missed opportunities and the lingering regret that follows. The opening lines suggest a missed connection with someone, where the singer quickly dismisses the person without paying attention to their name or giving them any significance. This lack of attention reflects a lack of mindfulness and presence in the moment.
As the song progresses, the regret intensifies. The singer realizes that they didn't take the time to make a moment last or to act on their feelings. The phrase "Only a spark, gone in a moment" emphasizes the ephemeral nature of opportunities, how quickly they can pass, and how easily they can slip away. The mention of "what could have been" haunting them further underscores the lingering effects of missed chances.
The second verse introduces a sense of passivity and resignation. The singer finds themselves doing nothing, trapped in a cycle of regret. The reference to the "white dot on the TV set" and the fading picture symbolizes a lost opportunity to engage in something meaningful, as the image transitions to black, mirroring their inaction.
The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the notion that even a small spark or idea can have a profound impact, especially when followed through with action. The repeated question of "What could have been?" serves as a reminder of the repercussions of inaction and the haunting thoughts that accompany missed opportunities.
Overall, "Spark" by Phases explores the longing and regret that comes from not seizing the moment, highlighting the importance of paying attention, taking risks, and embracing the potential of each passing opportunity.
Line by Line Meaning
I knew when I shook your hand
I had a strong intuition about our connection from the very beginning
Saw it all from start to end
I could foresee the entire course of our relationship
Didn't listen when you said your name I said nothing
I disregarded your introduction and remained silent
Didn't have the time to act
I was too preoccupied to take any action
Couldn't make a moment last
I struggled to extend the duration of our interactions
If only I could just go back and do something
I regret not being able to change the past and take a different course of action
Only a spark, gone in a moment
Our potential connection was brief and fleeting
Only a notion, caught off your guard
A fleeting feeling that caught you by surprise
Think with your heart, you know in a moment
Trust your emotions and instincts, as they can provide clarity in an instant
Sometimes a notion is only the start
Sometimes a fleeting feeling is just the beginning of something significant
What could have been? What could have been?
Reflecting on the missed possibilities and what might have transpired
What could have been will haunt you
The unanswered questions and unrealized potential will linger in your thoughts
Door closed as the minutes passed
As time went by, the opportunity was lost
White dot on the TV set
A small, insignificant detail that symbolizes missed chances
As the picture fades to black, I do nothing
While witnessing the fading of an opportunity, I remained inactive
There's a cheap taste to regret
Regret carries a negative and unsatisfying feeling
Then you have to live with it
Once regret sets in, you must bear the consequences
Could it all be different
Is it possible that the outcome could have been altered
If I said something?
Would things have changed if I had spoken up?

She is so much better if a singer than these recordings give her justice for.
Ann Davis
agreed! This is one of the only bands I will say is SOOO much better live than studio. I think they use too much effects on her voice or something
