Cover art for Spiraling Shape lyrics by They Might Be Giants

THis song could mean many things, but I've always thought that it was more about the vicious cycle of conformity. The main motto of the song is "don't spend the rest of your life wondering." That's the principle the whole song is founded on.

I can also easilly see it being about buying into certain things like Nazi-ism, as Tucker said, but it's not specific to just WWII and the Nazis.

It's my favorite song in the world because i listened to it 50 times in one sitting when I was on acid.
