Spark
Simen Lyngroth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you see
We are surrounded by the past
These new, modern ways will never last
It's all in my head
Do I see
The way you like, my thoughts are in disguise
It's all about what you need
But I know
for sure these waves will come and go
So leave with your head hanging low
With your head hanging low
Do I see
it from my point of view or through your eyes
The way you like, my thoughts are in disguise
It's all about what you need
In Simen Lyngroth's song "Spark," the lyrics present a theme of conflicting perspectives between the singer and an indeterminate other person. The singer states that they are aware that there is a predominance of the past surrounding them, and that modern ways are transient and transitory. The line "It's all in my head" could indicate a sense of isolation or dislocation from contemporary society, or perhaps a sense that the singer perceives things differently from others. The next stanza echoes this sense of differing perspectives, with the line "Do I see it from my point of view or through your eyes", referring to a difference in opinions between the singer and those around them. The phrase "It's all about what you need" suggests that perhaps the focus is on accommodating the needs and desires of others over oneself.
Despite the conflict that the lyrics present, the chorus reigns triumphant with the lines "But I know for sure these waves will come and go / So leave with your head hanging low". The wave metaphor could apply to the idea of changing social tides, or more generally to the idea of life's ups and downs. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that no matter the conflicting perspectives, change is inevitable and temporary, and that it is better to accept this and move on.
