Spinning Out

from Always Flying Blind by Somnistatic

about

This song is kind of about my self-sabotage that I've inflicted on my life, time after time. I'm reminded by the Buddhist parable of the lotus. It's a flower that has roots in the sludge and swamp. I'm trying to ascend above my own personal muck. But, for some reason I keep strangling myself with my own roots. I get frustrated when I find myself spinning out of control and people close to me try to reel me in. It's a tug-of-war over their care for me and my drive to disintegrate. I'm torn between wanting to be okay and being enthralled by the pain of instability. There may be rhymes here, but there is no reason. I don't know why I can't function normally. 

lyrics

Taking the vow, forgotten
Gunning it down, ya got em
Under fire, you want it now

Wire to wire, it started
Liar to liar, the truth hurts
Under water, you shot it down

Don't turn around, don't burn it down
And don't keep me from spinning out

Stars in your eyes, enchanted
As far as I see, it's nowhere
Under the gun, you want it now

From out of the mire, a lotus
Eyes on trial, a motive
Under attack, you shot it down

Don't turn around, don't burn it down
And don't keep me from spinning out

Why ask the question, reason breaking down
A striking match imploding, don't turn around

Don't turn around
