Spiral Lyrics

Sometimes we only live for the here and now
Sometimes we're lonely
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded
Or fly away again

I will fly away again
Oh, I will fly away again

And I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again, here forever
The spiral never ends, never ends

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found
We fly away again

I will fly away again
Oh, I will fly away again

And I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again, here forever
The spiral never ends

Rot away
Live again, here forever
The spiral never ends

And I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again, here forever
The spiral never ends

Rot away
Live again, here forever
The spiral never ends

I will fly away again
Oh, I will fly away again
Oh, I will fly away again
Oh, I will fly away again

i liek the way the reincarnation and spiral point is emphasized by the piano in the beginning and end of the song (although the beginning is technically another song - the journey, but still)

Yep, it's about the neverending spiral dance of the Goddess in Wicca. Beautiful premise, nice song.

Obviously it's about history repeating itself. I think it's somewhat negative and positive at the same time, "fly away again" being the positive and "never ends" being the negative. My interpretation is... We all keep making the same mistakes... and we enjoy it. When he sings "I feel rain pourin down" I can imagine standing in the rain and singing those words throatily, wallowing in sad interpretations but taking total pleasure in the experience nonetheless.

Just found this song while looking at random Youtube videos, pretty good. I don't know anything about Wicca so I can't say if it matches with that version of reincarnation. To me it could simply be a comment on human nature. Same thing happening over and over with just a new face. Like you feel trapped and stagnant (rotting) in your life so you try to change it (fly away) and for a while we feel refreshed (I feel rain) then we begin to grow stagnant again and repeat it over again (live again, here forever).

it is about reincarnation and that sully (or all of us) will one day fly again

Someone please respond to this with any ideas.

Sounds to me like to him, reincarnation is a punishment, and "I will fly away" is his hope to escape the spiral.... Just an idea!

I disagree. I think he sees the next life as a freedom. no immediate memory of this life. if he could just start again, but no, he's stuck here and he can feel the rain falling down, reminding him he's alive, here, in this present moment.
