Spin Aqua Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
Hod you get so desperate
Howd you stay alive
Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh, come on be alive again
Dont lay down and die

Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away to Malibu

Get well soon
Please dont go any higher
How are you so burnt when
Youre barely on fire
Cry to the angels
Im gonna rescue you
Im gonna set you free tonight, baby
Pour over me

Hey, hey
Were all watching you
Oh, baby, fly away to Malibu
Cry to the angels
And let them swallow you
Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu

And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And the sun goes down
I walk into the waves
And I knew love would tear you apart
Oh and I knew the darkest secret of your heart

I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, fly away, yeah
To Malibu
Oceans of angels, oceans of stars
Down by the sea is where you drown your scars

I can't be near you
The light just radiates




I can't be near you
The light just radiates

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Spin Aqua's song "Malibu" tell the story of someone who is feeling desperate, burnt out, and in need of help. The opening lines of "Crash and burn, all the stars explode tonight" create a sense of chaos and destruction, setting the scene for the rest of the song. The singer asks how the person got to this point of desperation, and implores them to "be alive again" and not give up. The chorus of "Oh, baby, drive away to Malibu" offers a solution, suggesting that the person should take some time away and escape to the serene setting of Malibu.


The second verse builds on the theme of needing help, with the singer asking the person to "get well soon" and rescuing them from their pain. The final lines of the verse, "Cry to the angels and let them swallow you / Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu" suggest a sense of surrender and release - that the person should let go of their troubles and immerse themselves in the beauty of the ocean. The bridge of the song reinforces the sense of darkness and pain, with the singer acknowledging that they "knew the darkest secret of your heart" and yet still following and loving this person. The final lines of "I can't be near you / The light just radiates" create a sense of distance, as though the person is too powerful or intense to be close to.
