Better Man
Spring King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing to a tune that nobody knew
Hoping for a man to show her the truth
Dancing alone, she cries in the rain
Hoping to forget about all of her pains
In the street there’s a girl who is feeling the strains
Feeling the strains of life
Wanna help you out if I can, oh I
Wanna help you out if I can, oh I
She cries, she cries, she cries out your name
Screaming at the top of her lungs with blame
For the guy who broke her down, and put her to shame
Dancing alone, she cries in the rain
Hoping to forget about all of her pains
In the street there’s a girl who is feeling the strains
Feeling the strains of life
Oh I, oh I
Wanna help you out if I can, oh I
Wanna help you out if I can, oh I
The lyrics to Spring King's song "Better Man" tell the story of a girl who waits in the street, dancing to a tune that no one else hears. She hopes for a man to come and show her the truth and ease the pains of her life. But as she dances alone, she cries in the rain, struggling to forget all the hurt that she feels. Her emotional pain is so great that she screams out the name of the man who broke her down and put her to shame.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses a desire to help the girl who dances alone, to be a better man for her. He wants to ease her pain, to help her forget her troubles, and to show her the truth in a world where everything seems confusing and unknown. The lyrics evoke a sense of empathy and compassion for the struggles that people face in their lives, and a desire to reach out and help those who may be hurting.
One interesting interpretation of the song is that the man who wants to help the girl is actually a representation of the singer's own desire to help people through his music. The song was inspired by the thousands of fans who attended Spring King's live shows, many of whom shared stories of their own personal struggles and the ways in which the band's music had helped them to overcome those struggles. As such, the song can be seen as a celebration of the power of music to heal and connect people, and a reminder that we can all be better men and women by reaching out to others in need.
