TAM
The Spires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking pictures of the sunshine
Oh TAM
Taking pictures of the sunshine
It's sun sun sun sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun sun sun sun
Sun sun sun sun sun sun sun
The Spires's song TAM is a lighthearted tune about a character named TAM who is seemingly obsessed with taking pictures of the sunshine. The repetition of the line "Oh TAM, taking pictures of the sunshine" emphasizes the singer's fixation on capturing the beauty of the sun in a photograph. The subsequent repetition of "It's sun sun sun" adds to the carefree atmosphere of the song and further emphasizes the significance of the sun TAM is attempting to capture.
The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but one possible explanation is that TAM is symbolic of a person who is always seeking the positive aspects of life, even in the midst of adversity. By focusing on the beauty of the sunshine, TAM is able to maintain a positive outlook on life and perhaps inspire others to do the same. The repetition of the word "sun" also suggests a cyclical nature, which could symbolize the idea that life is full of ups and downs but ultimately returns to moments of brightness and hope.
