Spirit
The Blue Stones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all in my head
But it′s nice to hear a voice or two
Something's stirring, my conscience is split into two
And it might be a phase
But I swear this shit is clear-view
I don't trust myself
I feel like somebody else
I don′t trust myself
I feel like somebody else
I feel like somebody else
And I′m standing at the edge
I'm just trying to pretend that I want you so deeply
′Cause your spirit sings sweetly to me
Think I'd rather be alone
Shut the lights
Lock my phone
Close the blinds
Here we go
I′m in motion
So long 'til the dawn
I don′t trust myself
I feel like somebody else
I feel like somebody else
I don't trust myself
I feel like somebody else
I feel like somebody else
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
And it rumbles through the dust on my shelf
Yeah, there′s thunder in my head
Unfamiliar like I′m somebody else
I don't trust myself
I feel like somebody else
I feel like somebody else
Yeah, there′s thunder in my head
And it rumbles through the dust on my shelf
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
Unfamiliar like I′m somebody else
Yeah, there's thunder in my head
Unfamiliar like I′m somebody else
The Blue Stones's song Spirit delves into the feeling of uncertainty and disconnection from oneself. The opening lines talk about looking into the mirror for a new perspective, indicating a desire for change and self-discovery. The singer feels like he is split into two and is going through a phase, but he is convinced that what he is feeling is genuine. He expresses his mistrust and doubt towards himself and feels like he is someone else. The chorus repeats these lines to emphasize the disconnect:
"I don't trust myself
I feel like somebody else"
The second verse shifts the focus to a person that he is trying to impress or be with. He talks about standing at the edge, pretending and trying to act as if he wants their company, but deep down, he wants to be alone. He struggles with the conflicted feelings of wanting someone but also questioning who he is and what he wants. The thunder in his head is a metaphor for the internal struggle that he's going through.
Overall, the song "Spirit" talks about the disconnection one can feel from oneself and the struggle to find a sense of belonging and understanding of one's true self.
