Spinnin'
Lost Minds and Spinnin' Thoughts: Soul Asylum's Reflections
Lyrics
Follows me wherever we go
There is a persistent presence or influence that accompanies us wherever we go.
Undermining all that we know
Undermining and subverting everything we are familiar with or understand.
Suddenly starts thinkin' been fooled from the beginnin'
Suddenly realizing that there has been deception or manipulation from the start.
When the cause is lost you find there is no point in winnin'
When the original purpose or goal is lost, winning becomes meaningless.
Then it's hard to think straight when your head it keeps on spinnin'
Difficulty in maintaining clear thoughts when feeling disoriented or confused.
If I lost my mind, would you help me find it?
Expressing a hypothetical scenario where losing one's sanity prompts a request for assistance in finding it.
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Uncertainty about whether the issue lies with oneself or the other person.
Things aren't quite the way they should be
Recognition that things are not as they should be, suggesting a sense of imbalance.
And now it seems my peace of mind has come up for the biddin'
Peace of mind is now negotiable or available for bidding, indicating a loss of stability.
All those I respect and trust I guess they were just kiddin'
Realization that individuals previously respected and trusted were not sincere but rather joking or insincere.
And they will say it's me who's lost, and as you sit there grinnin'
External perception blaming the person for being lost, while others look on with amusement.
My little world has lost control but still it keeps on spinnin'
A sense of losing control over one's world, yet it continues to spin despite the chaos.
If I lost my mind, would you help me find it?
Reiteration of the request for assistance in finding one's lost sanity.
If I lost my mind, I wouldn't have to be reminded
If sanity is lost, there's a desire not to be reminded of it, possibly reflecting a wish to escape reality.
If I lost my mind I'm not sure I would mind
Contemplation on whether losing one's mind would bother the person, with a repeated request for assistance.
Would you help me find it?
Seeking help from others in the hypothetical scenario of losing one's mind.
