In The Office
Spare Bricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same old story same old place
Look in the mirror at my face
No flames in my eyes slowly I die
All around emptyness
I'm going insane in my loneliness
I wanna escape from this routine
From the window I dream my fly highNow swinging in my thoughts
Are my wings to fly away
Now swinging on the road, my thoughts
No flames in my eyes slowly I die
The truth in my eyes cooling down
Freeze my soul like ice
The world is not enough for me
Broken my chains I fly high
Here around
I've changed my mind
Never lost myself
Finally I've find my way
And now I can see
Everybody beneath me
Lost in reality
Without a fantasy
Brand new days are coming to you
Carried by something or someone you know
Old stuff are lost in memories too
Special delivery is given to you
Now fucked up but never give up
Now part of the system you're always be in
Swearing to God that you will escape
The end of nothing will gonna change
Brand new days are coming to you
Carried by something or someone you knowOld stuff are lost in memories too
Special delivery is given to you
Now fucked up but never give up
Now part of the system you're always be in
Swearing to God that you will escape
The end of nothing will gonna change
The lyrics of "In The Office" by Spare Bricks depict a sense of disillusionment and longing for change in the midst of routine and emptiness. The singer describes feeling trapped in the monotony of their daily life, symbolized by the repetition of the "same old story, same old place." As they gaze into the mirror, they see a lack of passion reflected back at them, with "no flames in my eyes slowly I die" suggesting a gradual decay of spirit and vitality.
The theme of escape and dreaming of a different reality is prevalent throughout the song. The singer yearns for freedom from the confines of their current situation, expressing a desire to "fly high" and break away from the mundane existence that surrounds them. This longing for change is further symbolized by the imagery of wings and flying, representing a yearning for liberation and a departure from their current state of mind.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of self-discovery and empowerment. The singer declares that they have "never lost myself" and have finally found their way. This newfound sense of clarity allows them to see the world and those around them from a different perspective, feeling elevated above the confines of reality and embracing a sense of individuality and self-realization.
As the song progresses, there is a shift towards a more defiant and rebellious tone. The repeated refrain of "Brand new days are coming to you" suggests a sense of hope and anticipation for change, while also acknowledging the challenges and struggles that come with breaking free from the system. The singer vows to never give up, despite feeling "fucked up" and trapped within the confines of a system they feel they will always be a part of. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a message of resilience, determination, and a refusal to accept a fate of stagnation and conformity.
