Spin Cycle
Spinning Tales of Love's Betrayal
Lyrics
Told myself I wouldn't say a word
Trying to remain silent despite the situation.
Wouldn't lose my head over the things I'd heard
Not letting emotions take control despite hearing things.
Take it like a man and get along
Enduring difficulties without complaint.
Make like I don't notice everything's gone wrong
Pretending not to notice when everything goes awry.
And you, you're taking me for a spin
Feeling manipulated or deceived.
Tell me this is not about him
Seeking assurance that a situation isn't related to someone else.
You lead me on a bit too long
Feeling strung along for too long.
But someday I'll be gone for good again
Planning to depart permanently at some point.
Nothing I can do to make you feel
Inability to influence the other person's emotions.
Lips are getting colder every kiss I steal
Feeling the other person's affections diminishing.
Used to be I fit you like a glove
Previously fitting perfectly together.
But I don't want your body if he's got your love
Unwillingness to engage physically if emotional connection is elsewhere.
And you, you're taking me for a spin
Sense of being manipulated or misled.
Tell me this is not about him
Desire for confirmation that a situation isn't related to someone else.
You lead me on a bit too long
Feeling strung along for too long (repeated line).
But someday I'll be gone for good again
Anticipating a permanent departure eventually.
Everything is telling me to run
Feeling the urge to escape the situation.
Get myself a ticket, let you come undone
Considering leaving and allowing the other person to face consequences.
Blood like Mississippi in my veins
Intense emotional turmoil represented through metaphorical language.
Both sides overflowing and it looks like rain
Strong emotional conflict on both sides, possibly leading to tears or turmoil.
And you, you're taking me for a spin
Feeling manipulated or deceived (repeated line).
Tell me this is not about him
Seeking assurance that a situation isn't related to someone else (repeated line).
You lead me on a bit too long
Feeling strung along for too long (repeated line).
But someday I'll be gone for good again
Planning to depart permanently at some point (repeated line).
