Disciple's song 'Spinning' captures the overwhelming chaos of a world filled with contradictions—birth and death, healing and destruction, tragedy and victory. The narrator feels exhausted, like a burned-out cigarette, and longs for the world to pause so they can catch their breath. Amidst the turmoil, there's a plea for God to hold them in the chaos, acknowledging that they can't handle the answers to their questions. The song expresses a raw, honest cry for peace and stability in the midst of life's relentless motion, ultimately seeking comfort in God's presence.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Another sun is born while another star goes black
And the world keeps spinning around
Another disease is cured while another bomb is dropped
And the world keeps spinning around
Somebody's tragedy is somebody's victory
And the world keeps spinning around
And the world keeps spinning around
My heart can't take it anymore
I'm like a burned out cigarette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
No safe place in a civil war
The meaningful and the meaningless
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
The bullet that slayed was the same bullet that saved
And the world keeps spinning around
The blood of thousands spilled
The greatest nations built
And the world keeps spinning around
And the world keeps spinning around
My heart can't take it anymore
I'm like a burned out cigarette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
No safe place in a civil war
The meaningful and the meaningless
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
Just stop spinning for a minute!
I don't know if I can handle your answers
to the questions I have inside my heart
So just hold me in the chaos
Hold me while the world keeps spinning out of my control
My heart can't take anymore
I'm just a used up cigarette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
No safe place in a civil war
The meaningful and the meaningless
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
My heart can't take it anymore
I'm just a brain dead silhouette
Wish the world would just stop spinning for a minute
Would just stop spinning for a minute
Just stop spinning for a minute
