Keane - Spiralling
I fashioned you
From jewels and stone
I made you
In the image of myself
I gave you
Everything you wanted
So you would never know
Anything else
But everytime
I reach for you
You slip
Through my fingers
Into cold sunlight
Laughing at the things
That I had planned
The map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose
Threads now
~
Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?
I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light
When we fall in love
We’re just falling
In love with ourselves
We’re spiralling
We’re tumbling down
We’re spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We’re spiralling
I fashioned you
From jewels and stone
I made you
In the image of myself
I gave you
Everything you wanted
So you would never know
Anything else
But everytime
I reach for you
You slip
Through my fingers
Into cold sunlight
Laughing at the things
That I had planned
The map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose
Threads now

* I'll admit that I love Keane. (and I'm sure I've made myself known somehow, geez) I like this song. Probably one of my current favourite songs. I like to reflect on the lyrics. However, I must say that not the whole song is of relation to my life right now.
The song according to my own interpretation is that you wanna make the person you love like yourselves or an idealistic being in your own standards. Hence, you'll do anything and everything, entirely immersed into the deep blue, never-ending ocean of love / lust.
The vocals are commendable, kinda full of emotion as well as upbeat. A cool song to listen & interpret. :)
