Swirl
Westkust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun is down when I get out
I just woke up feeling confused
I want to find something new
It's really hard to try to get to you

When we walk around and we're dizzy and all
I don't want it to stop, I don't want it to end
When we pass the time and it's all meaningless
I don't want you to go, I don't want you to leave

And I don't want to be the kind
Who is always feeling sorry for myself
But everything is fading out
And everybody is doing what they are told

When we walk around and we're dizzy and all
I don't want it to stop, I don't want it to end




When we pass the time and it's all meaningless
I don't want you to go, I don't want you to leave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Westkust's song Swirl convey a sense of confusion and longing for something new. The singer is awake, but it feels like she's just getting started on a journey of self-discovery, and doesn't quite know which direction to take. She wants to find something new, but it's proving to be a difficult path to navigate.


The chorus of the song seems to reflect the dizzying feeling of being lost in one's thoughts and emotions, but also a reluctance to let go of a sense of meaning or companionship. The singer doesn't want the feelings to end, or for the other person to leave. A sense of wishing for a more profound connection is conveyed here.


The final lines suggest an attempt at self-reflection and a desire to move beyond self-pity, but also a feeling of isolation as the rest of the world follows order and routine.


In general, the lyrics of Swirl convey a mood of searching for a way forward that is both authentic and meaningful, while also grappling with fear and uncertainty along the way.


Line by Line Meaning

The sun is down when I get out
I start my day in the evening; I'm not a morning person


I just woke up feeling confused
I'm not sure what my purpose is or what I want to do


I want to find something new
I'm looking for excitement and adventure


It's really hard to try to get to you
I'm having trouble connecting with someone I care about


When we walk around and we're dizzy and all
We're lost in the moment, enjoying each other's company


I don't want it to stop, I don't want it to end
I don't want the good times to come to an end


When we pass the time and it's all meaningless
Time feels meaningless without you around


I don't want you to go, I don't want you to leave
I don't want to be alone without you


And I don't want to be the kind
I don't want to be someone who is always negative


Who is always feeling sorry for myself
I don't want to pity myself and be unhappy


But everything is fading out
Things are changing and losing their significance


And everybody is doing what they are told
People are following a predetermined path instead of forging their own way

When we walk around and we’re dizzy and all
I don’t want it to stop, I don’t want it to end
