Spring
Smallest Creature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Friends say, turn and walk away
Well i am sure she always said the truth
I am sure she always spoke the truth
I get so alone,
When she comes back my love is born
Spring is out alone,
Sometimes flowers can be so green
Sometimes i don't want to leave
Sometimes lies can be alright
Sometimes everything is right
She played with my soul
I never want it back again
Come and laugh along
Spring is out, i love alone
I get so alone
When she comes back my love is born
Spring is out alone
When she comes back i'll play along
Join my fool blind hope
You know so well, it happened again
Spring is out alone,
She's gone too if i don't go
The lyrics to Smallest Creature's "Spring" speak to the complexity of relationships, specifically the push and pull between reason and emotion. The singer is faced with conflicting advice from friends to "send that witch away" and "turn and walk away." Despite this, the singer believes that the person in question always speaks the truth. The chorus reveals the underlying desire the singer has for this person, even when they are alone - "when she comes back my love is born." In the second verse, the singer reflects on the contradictions they observe - sometimes flowers are green, sometimes lies are alright. The bridge speaks to the emotional manipulation inflicted upon the singer by this person, yet they willingly submit to it - "I never want it back again."
The repetition of the phrase "Spring is out alone" serves as a metaphor for the singer's isolation in the situation. The person in question has the power to dictate the singer's emotions and behavior when they return. The final lines - "Join my fool blind hope, you know so well, it happened again, spring is out alone, she's gone too if I don't go" - imply a continued cycle of dependence and entanglement. The singer acknowledges their own participation in the cycle but ultimately resigns themselves to it.
