Emotions
The Spoons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a girl you knew long ago
On a holiday weekend
Whoa ho, whoa ho
And you know you are damned once more
In some forgotten story
From your living library
There it goes again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions
There's a taste in the sea air
And the ghosts cry overhead
You walk and sink in the wet sand
Whoa ho, whoa ho
And you know love, love, love
And you know you are damned once more
In some forgotten story
From your living library
Of things that you remember
There it goes again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions
There it goes again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions
There it goes again
There it goes again
Those old emotions
The Spoons' song Emotions is about the experience of being haunted by memories and emotions of a long-lost love. The lyrics describe the singer's feelings of being damned by their past and being unable to escape the memories that come flooding back. The first verse describes the memories of a girl the singer knew long ago, and the setting of a holiday weekend. The second verse paints a vivid picture of the sea air, ghosts crying overhead, and sinking into wet sand. The repetition of the phrase "those old emotions" emphasizes the cyclical nature of memory and the way the past can haunt us again and again.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of helplessness and the power of the past to influence the present. The use of simple, repetitive phrases and a driving beat create a sense of urgency and momentum, underscoring the idea that the singer is trapped by their memories. The lyrics suggest that even though the singer might want to move on, they are unable to escape their past and the emotions that come with it.
