Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't believe what I say is a stunner
That this was so wrong and it's not so wrong
If you thank your lucky star that I let you suffer long
If you think I make you stop, I'll try this time, this time
The lyrics to Ringo Deathstarr's Swirly are vague and open to interpretation. However, there seems to be a sense of resignation and power dynamic at play in the song. The opening line, "If you thank your lucky star that I'll go go go away," suggests that the singer is in a relationship or situation where they are not wanted, yet they are willing to leave without much fuss. However, the following line, "If you don't believe what I say is a stunner," hints at some deeper conflict or hurt that is being downplayed or ignored by the other person.
The next two lines, "That this was so wrong and it's not so wrong / If you thank your lucky star that I let you suffer long," also suggest a complicated and possibly toxic relationship. The singer acknowledges that there was wrongdoing on both sides, but they ultimately take responsibility for allowing the other person to suffer for too long. The final line, "If you think I make you stop, I'll try this time, this time," can be seen as a warning or a reassurance that the singer is not going to give up or give in easily.
Overall, the lyrics to Swirly are atmospheric and moody, with a sense of tension and unease underlying the words. The ambiguity of the lyrics allows listeners to project their own experiences and emotions onto the song, making it a powerful and relatable piece of music.
