Spiral
Thinking Dogs Lyrics

The lyrics to "Spiral" by Thinking Dogs describe the painful journey of love and heartbreak. The singer is caught in a spiral of love and sadness, constantly gaining and losing love. The opening lines read "Love and sadness, a spiral that repeats, I obtain it and then lose it again, we can no longer follow the same path, can the thread of our fate be cut?" This suggests that the singer is caught in a cycle of falling in love, experiencing heartbreak, and then repeating the pattern again.

As the song progresses, the singer laments the fact that they keep deluding themselves and imagining a love that is not real. They say "I keep convincing myself without realizing it, it's just an illusion if it's all in my head, don't let me love you this much, I hate you so much." This suggests that the singer is aware that they have false hopes about their love and that they hate the person they have fallen for because they cannot reciprocate their feelings.

In the end, the singer wonders if they can break out of this cycle of love and sadness and truly change their destiny with this person. They ask, "Can we change our destiny now? The love and sadness, the insides and outsides that we want to know," suggesting that they want to break free and see the true picture of the person they have fallen for. Overall, "Spiral" is a poignant portrayal of the pain of unrequited love and the cycle of hope and heartbreak that can come with it.
