While My Guitar Gently Weeps
S.P.U.L. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look at you all
See the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor
and I see it needs sweeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why
Nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how
Someone controlled you
They bought and sold
Sold you

I look at the world
And I notice it's turning
Still my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake
We must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently

I don't how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how
You were inverted
No, no one alerted you

I look at you all
Ooo
Still my guitar gently weeps





Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics from S.P.U.L.'s While My Guitar Gently Weeps express a deep sense of melancholy as the singer reflects on the state of the world while playing their guitar. The first two lines describe a sense of love that is present but dormant, as the singer acknowledges that there is more to be seen than what is on the surface. The third and fourth lines suggest a sense of frustration that the world isn't as it should be, and that perhaps there is a need for change.


The chorus lyrics, "Still my guitar gently weeps" evoke a sense of sadness and resignation, almost as if the guitar is mourning for the world. The next set of lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to make sense of the world around them, and that they are searching for deeper truths about why things are the way they are. The lyrics "I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love" suggest a sense of alienation or disconnection, as if the singer has been searching for guidance and hasn't found it.


The following lyrics suggest that the world isn't as it should be because people are being controlled and manipulated. The lines "I don't know how someone controlled you, they bought and sold, sold you" suggest that the singer feels a sense of powerlessness in the face of larger societal forces. The final set of lyrics offer a glimmer of hope, suggesting that even though the world may not be perfect, people can learn and grow from their mistakes. The line "With every mistake we must surely be learning" suggests a sense of resilience and the belief that there is value in learning from our experiences.

benliğimi vererek dinlediğim tek parça

@DerJoker666

The joy the flowers bring me
The pain still has me sinking
All while my heart gently weeps
Your smile has got me shrinking
The tears in your eyes are twinkling
Because the heart gently weeps
