Convex
St. Paul The Broken Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill it when you want
Kill it when you can
Though the evils get too low inside your brain
Kiss it when it hurts
Kiss it when I cry
It′s so fragile in her hands of broken lies

Masticated problems losing all their teeth, can I please
I'm the only one here
Who knows just what to do
I′ve already told you

Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around my floor, I say

Feel it when I smile
Feel it when I laugh
There's a god who hides his face inside your mouth
Think it 'til it′s good
Think it when it′s wrong
There's a preacher conning Jesus in a storm (in a storm)

Plastic soul singing
Of money on his mind, he just can′t deny
Giving out his passion
Killer of the the lies, he should just hide

Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around
Spin around my floor
Spin around my floor, I say

Figure out the state I'm in and I can come alive
Figure out the state I′m in and I can come alive
(Spinning spinning spinning spinning around)
Figure out the state I'm in and I can, I can come alive
Figure out the state I′m in and I can, I can come alive
(Spinning spinning spinning spinning around)

I just wanna spin around
I just wanna spin around
Spin around
I wanna spin, I wann spin around
Around around around around around around
I wanna spin
Around around around around around around
Spin around




I just spin around
I got to spin around

Overall Meaning

"Convex" by St. Paul & The Broken Bones is a dynamic and enigmatic song that requires a deeper understanding of its lyrics. The song's first verse and chorus showcase the flippant nature of life, urging listeners to "kill it when you want" and "kiss it when it hurts." The lyrics encourage facing obstacles head-on and embracing life's highs and lows. However, the second verse and chorus introduce a more sinister tone, mentioning a "preacher conning Jesus in a storm" and a "plastic soul singing of money on his mind." The lyrics imply that deceit and corruption exist in society and that the truth can become obscured by those who wish to manipulate it.


The song is open to interpretation, but one can infer that the artist is urging us to take control of our lives, overcome hardship, and distinguish fact from fiction. The repeated phrase "spin around" at the end of each verse seems to represent a longing to break free from the monotony of life and the unhealthy cycle of negativity.

Their performance at the Roundhouse, London (19/11/18) at the end of the recent tour was absolutely stellar. His voice is the most fantastic instrument and the band are as tight and funky as you could wish. Made a complete tit of myself!

Cherry Austin

I love all of St.Paul & The Broken bones music ! 💖💯Convex is #1

Daniel Graham

ANOTHER phenomenal tune! Apollo is Good too. Love the steady release of the singles You guys are killing it! Keep up the great work 😀👌

David Rees

Best band around . Seen them last year in Leeds . They were terrific . Other bands I’ve seen recently the Rolling Stones , Steely Dan , Steve Winwood , Elvis Costello , the Zutons , Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and lots of others but these guys were the best by a mile . None o the other bands too shabby but these guys really are on another level in my 0pinion

Lorinda Owesney

I love this album. At first I wasn't sure because I was so use to their first 2 but after listening to it 100 times I love it. I love Apolo and Bruised Fruit a lot. Paul's voice is just so unique and you just feel it through your body.

Michelle Velotta

Dig the groove! Can't get enough of this or "Apollo"! What a voice....what a band!

bobby ayers

DukeOfDeath27

The man is sick as hell! And the broken bones are just bad. Kills me when amazing groups like this arent anywhere close to as popular as they should be. This shit is funky as hell!

Michael Black

Downloaded this morning.  It's been on repeat for about an hour now...  Looking forward to the whole album.  Already pre-ordered it...
