Spoons
Rudimental featuring MNEK & Syron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is when I loose all control
This is when I find the challenge
The challenge I can call my own
It's hard to fight a battle
When all my weapons are so far
Out of reach and balance
And I forget who you are
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
This is where I find my balance
This is the way I gain all control
Now that I can leave my challenge
The challenge I don't need no more
It's hard to fight a battle
When I've been stretched out way too far
Out of reach and balance
Now I regret who you are
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
I think I'm about to fall
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
Deeper and deeper, whoa
The lyrics of Rudimental's song "Spoons" talks about the struggle to maintain balance and control in life, and accepting the challenges that come with it. The first verse talks about losing balance and control, and finding a challenge that he can call his own. The singer of the song says it's difficult to fight a battle when all his weapons are out of reach and he forgets who he is. He thinks he's about to fall deeper and deeper, and the chorus repeats this line to emphasize this feeling of losing control.
In the second verse, the singer finds his balance and gains control. He no longer needs the challenge that he previously had, and accepts that it's difficult to fight a battle when he's been stretched too far. He now regrets who he was when he was struggling to maintain balance.
The lyrics of this song are open to interpretation and can relate to anyone's struggle with maintaining balance and control in their lives. It could be a personal struggle or a professional one, where it's difficult to keep everything in control, and one feels like they are on the verge of losing it all.

This is when I loose my balance
I struggle to maintain equilibrium
This is when I loose all control
I am unable to regulate myself
This is when I find the challenge
It is during these moments that I discover a task to accomplish
The challenge I can call my own
It's a personal challenge that only I can claim ownership of
It's hard to fight a battle
It's difficult to engage in combat
When all my weapons are so far
Since the tools I need to succeed are out of reach
Out of reach and balance
Not only are my weapons far away, but so is my stability
And I forget who you are
I lose sight of who you are as a person
I think I'm about to fall
I believe I'm about to fail
Deeper and deeper, whoa
I am sinking further and further with each passing moment
This is where I find my balance
It is in these circumstances that I discover stability
This is the way I gain all control
This is how I regain mastery over myself
Now that I can leave my challenge
Since I have accomplished the task, I can depart from it
The challenge I don't need no more
The challenge is no longer necessary for me
When I've been stretched out way too far
When I have been extended beyond my limits
Now I regret who you are
I mourn who you are as a person
