Faulty Sparkle
The Queenstons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will soak myself in the rain
Until I'm reflective
And I'll sprawl out underneath you
And get your feet wet

I'm a
Faulty sparkle

You'll absorb me through your shoes
Until your legs are heavy
I'll make your journey that much longer
When you're not ready

I'm a
Faulty sparkle

I will soak myself in the rain
Until I'm reflective
And I'll sprawl out underneath you
And get your feet wet

I'm a
Faulty sparkle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in The Queenstons's song Faulty Sparkle can be interpreted in different ways. At first glance, the lyrics seem to reflect a person who is in a state of self-reflection and self-doubt. The opening line of the song, "I will soak myself in the rain until I'm reflective," suggests that the person is trying to cleanse themselves of something or someone. They're seeking clarity and self-awareness, and they're willing to endure uncomfortable conditions to achieve it.

The next line, "And I'll sprawl out underneath you and get your feet wet," suggests a level of submission to another person. This can be interpreted as a longing for connection or dependence on another person. However, the line "You'll absorb me through your shoes until your legs are heavy" suggests that the person's desire for connection or attention might be overwhelming or excessive.

The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a faulty sparkle." This line could represent the person's insecurities or flaws. The word "sparkle" suggests that there is something attractive about the person, but the word "faulty" suggests that there are issues or faults that might overshadow those positive qualities.

Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is struggling with their sense of self and their desire for connection with others. The lyrics suggest a level of vulnerability and insecurity, but there is also a sense of determination and a willingness to endure discomfort in order to achieve clarity.
