THE LYRICS OF “SPINNIN”
What’s being presented revolves around the vocalist questioning whether or not “the world [has] stopped spinning”. Of course that’s a rhetorical question which, in context, seems to point to Madison suffering from both an intense boredom and depression.
In other words, Beer comes off as if she’s not deriving any type of joy from the world and furthermore as if there is no end to this emotional malady in sight. And there’s a line in the second verse which also implies that she’s suffering from anxiety attacks.
This is a really interesting song because usually we are met with a vocalist dealing with these types of issues, they proceed to at least allude to the source of the problem, i.e. a failed romance or what have you.
But in this case, there isn’t any mention of another party besides the vocalist, and Madison does not elaborate on why she feels as described above. She does note, in both the first and outro, that she is “in pain”. However, the vocalist does not proceed to explain why such is so, thus giving the impression, to some extent, that she’s woefully bored/depressed in general.
