The June Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This place has heart, but not enough to keep you here.
So here, here are your wings, use them and fly away from here.
I'll wish you the best of luck, my friend, keep moving, moving on.
Nothing is worse than standing still,
don't you think I know just how you feel.
I know someday because everyone is waiting for that moment in the sun,
yours will come someday.
The June Spirit's song "Ninety" is a melancholic yet optimistic expression of saying goodbye to a friend who is leaving to pursue their dreams elsewhere. The opening lines, "So you're gone, you're moving on, this place has heart but not enough to keep you here," are a common feeling for people in small towns or tight-knit communities where opportunities may be limited. The use of the word "heart" adds an emotional weight to the decision to leave, suggesting that it is not an easy choice but necessary for growth and fulfillment.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of not standing still and encourages the friend to keep moving forward towards their goals, even though it can be hard to leave behind what is familiar. The line, "Nothing is worse than standing still, don't you think I know just how you feel," shows empathy for the difficulty of the decision but also reinforces the idea that staying stagnant is ultimately more painful than taking risks.
The bridge of "Ninety" offers a glimmer of hope for the future, with the lyric "I know someday because everyone is waiting for that moment in the sun, yours will come someday. It just takes time." This suggests that even though the immediate future may be uncertain, with perseverance and patience, success and fulfillment can be achieved.
Overall, "Ninety" is a poignant and relatable anthem for anyone who has had to leave something behind in order to chase their dreams. It acknowledges the pain and fear of the unknown but offers encouragement to keep moving forward.
