Sunset Spirals
Xploding Plastix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flew into Heathrow yesterday
Saw him waving from the runway
Look up my feet don't touch the ground
Listening I hear a brand new sound

Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is this not enough now

They couldn't catch me anyway
But that was just yesterday
I'm drifting over someplace new
We didn't know what else to do

Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is this not enough now

And I wonder what you might say
If I were to call it a day
Makes me sad to think of a time
So stand up make it mine

Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is it enough now
Is this not enough now

And I wonder what you might say
If I were to call it a day




Makes me sad to think of a time
So stand up make it mine

Overall Meaning

In Xploding Plastix's "Sunset Spirals," featuring Sarah Cracknell, the lyrics depict a sense of displacement and searching for something that's "enough." The opening lines suggest a journey, with the singer arriving at Heathrow and seeing someone they know waving from the runway. The line "Look up my feet don't touch the ground" suggests a feeling of weightlessness and detachment, as if they are observing things from a distance.


Throughout the song, there's a sense of longing for something beyond the mundane, with lyrics like "Listening I hear a brand new sound" and "I'm drifting over someplace new." However, there's also a sense of uncertainty and insecurity, with the repeated refrain "Is it enough now? Is this not enough now?" The singer seems to be questioning whether the experiences they're having are fulfilling or if they need something more.
