Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sora ni ui teru mono bakari motome
Tsukamezu ni yuka no ue tada nekorogari
Haki suteta kotoba o te ni atsumete
Ittarikitari shite ite mo
Hibi wa nagare yuki asu wa mata otte kuru

Kurikaesu rasen no ue
Hitori mogai teru
Hora itsu made mo

Koko kara tobidasou
Asu no mieru basho e
Koko kara tobidasou
Asu no mieru basho e

Tamesa re teru kibun de kaidan o nobori
Uwa no sora mata hajimaru owari naki jimonjitou

Kurikaesu rasen no ue
Hitori mogai teru
Hora itsu made mo

Koko kara tobidasou
Asu no mieru basho e
Koko kara tobidasou
Asu no mieru basho e

Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Asu no mieru basho e
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Asu no mieru basho e

Kurikaesu rasen no ue
Hitori mogai teru
Oh Yeah itsu made mo

Koko kara tobidasou
Asu no mieru basho e
Koko kara tobidasou

Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Asu no mieru basho e




Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dustbox's song "Spiral" are about the struggle to find one's place in the world among the chaos of daily life. The song starts by describing a feeling of aimlessness - reaching out for something in the sky but unable to grasp it, and constantly stumbling on the ground. The singer collects discarded words as they go, but even with these words as scraps, each day feels the same and tomorrow feels uncertain.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more hopeful. The repeated chorus "Koko kara tobidasou, Asu no mieru basho e" translates to "Let's jump from here and head towards the place we can see tomorrow." The singer climbs a staircase, with no end or beginning in sight, but the path leads to the sky above where anything is possible.


The spiral imagery throughout the song, with the repeating pattern and never-ending nature, signifies the cycle of life and the journey towards finding meaning and purpose. The message is that even though life can be overwhelming and repetitive, we can keep climbing and searching for our place in the world.
