Leave your sign here
Show the light
What defines me?
Better now to lay you down
Bearing all the heavy crowns
Hold the line
Come on
Set on fire
Fall in
Bodies call in the night
So come on
Set on fire
Bodies call in
Bodies call in the night
Lay your body, slow it down
Catch my head before the ground
Hold my mind (hold my mind)
From all the lightning
Come on
Set on fire
Fall in
Bodies call in the night
So come on
Set on fire
Bodies call in
Bodies call in the night
Lay your body, slow it down
Catch my head before the ground
Hold my mind
Hold my mind
The lyrics to "Spiral" by XtRaOrDiNaRxx.x explore themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the search for personal identity. The repeated phrase "hold my mind" suggests a plea to someone or something to support and understand the singer's thoughts and emotions.
The opening lines, "Hold my mind, leave your sign here, show the light, what defines me?" express a longing for guidance and clarity. The singer is asking for someone or something to provide a sign or light that can help them understand their true self, as they question what truly defines their identity.
The following lines, "Better now to lay you down, bearing all the heavy crowns, hold the line, unrequited," convey a sense of burden and sacrifice. The singer indicates that it is preferable to let go of something or someone, symbolized by "lay you down," in order to bear the heavy responsibilities or expectations placed upon them ("bearing all the heavy crowns"). They are holding the line, possibly persevering through challenging circumstances, despite feeling unrequited or unacknowledged for their efforts.
The chorus, "Come on, set on fire, fall in, bodies call in the night, so come on, set on fire, bodies call in, bodies call in the night," suggests a desire for passion and connection. The singer urges themselves or others to ignite their inner fire and surrender to the allure of physical desire, as bodies call out to each other in the night. It could also symbolize the yearning for deeper emotional connections and the need for intimacy.
The final lines, "Lay your body, slow it down, catch my head before the ground, hold my mind, hold my mind," bring the focus back to vulnerability and the desire for support. The singer begs someone to slow down, provide a sense of safety, and protect them from the potential fall or impact. This could represent needing someone to catch their thoughts and emotions before they hit rock bottom. The repetition of "hold my mind" further emphasizes the plea for assistance in navigating their inner thoughts and maintaining emotional stability.
Overall, "Spiral" conveys a complex emotional journey of self-discovery, longing, and the need for connection and understanding. The lyrics invite listeners to explore their own struggles and desires for self-acceptance and meaningful connections with others.
