Ed Sheeran – Spiral Lyrics (Full Song)

[Verse 1]
Would you call the police
If I don’t answer anything?
How did I get this deep?
I guess I’ll just keep digging in
I’ve been up, losing sleep
Overthinking everything
Are you reaching for me?
Am I just not listening?

[Chorus]
Oh, I just can’t help but spiral

Is the chaos simply fuel to make me feel something?
And, oh, I just can’t break the cycl
oing ’round and ’round, I’m downward spiraling
Here I go again

[Post-Chorus]
(Down, down)
(Down, down)

[Verse 2]
Fill the glass, drink, repeat
It’s the usual way I deal with it
Oh, I tried therapy
But I don’t feel any different
Scream it out, then release
Are the problems insignificant?
If you see somebody
Then the grass is greener, isn’t it?

[Chorus]
Oh, I just can’t help but spiral
Is the chaos simply fuel to make me feel something?
And, oh, I just can’t break the cycle
And I try to patch these cracks, but the dark keeps creeping in
Going ’round and ’round, I’m downward spiraling

Here I go again

[Post-Chorus]
(Down, down)
Here I go again
(Down, down)

[Bridge]
Late night (Down)
Tossing and turning in my, my bed (Down)
Constant thoughts in my, my head (Down)
I’ll keep worrying till I’m dead (Down)
I’ll keep worrying
Late night (Down)
Tossing and turning in my, my bed (Down)
Constant thoughts in my, my head (Down)
I’ll keep worrying till I’m dead (Down)
I’ll keep worrying

[Chorus]
Oh, I just can’t help but spiral
Is the chaos simply fuel to make me feel something?
And, oh, I just can’t break the cycle (Down, down)
And I try to patch these cracks, but the dark keeps creeping in (Down, down)
Going ’round and ’round, I’m downward spiraling
Here I go again

Meaning of ‘Spiral’ Lyrics Explained (Deep Dive)

Verse 1 Meaning:
He feels lost and trapped in his thoughts, worried that no one will notice if he disappears. He’s struggling to understand how he ended up in this deep emotional state and keeps overanalyzing everything. Sleep is hard to come by, and he wonders if anyone is truly trying to reach him or if he’s failing to hear their support.

Chorus Meaning:
He finds himself stuck in a loop of negative thoughts and emotions that he can’t escape. The chaos around him seems to be the only thing that makes him feel alive at all. No matter how much he wants to break free, he keeps repeating the same patterns, feeling himself spiral downward again and again.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
Feeling himself going deeper.

Verse 2 Meaning:
He tries to cope with his feelings by drinking and following routines that don’t really help. Therapy hasn’t made much difference, and even letting out his emotions seems temporary. He questions whether his problems really matter and notices that comparing himself to others only makes him feel worse, thinking other people have it better. It’s a mix of trying to heal and feeling frustrated by the lack of change.

Chorus Meaning:
He’s caught in a cycle that’s hard to escape. The emotional chaos seems to fuel his feelings, but it also drags him down. Even though he tries to fix the cracks in his life, darkness keeps sneaking in. He keeps repeating the same patterns, feeling himself spiral downwards with no end in sight, struggling to regain control over his thoughts.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
Feeling the downward pull again.

Bridge Meaning:
His nights are restless, full of tossing and turning as his mind races. Thoughts keep piling up, leaving him anxious and worried constantly. This overthinking doesn’t stop, and he feels trapped in a never-ending loop, worrying so much that it feels like it will last his whole life. Sleep doesn’t bring relief, and the mental pressure continues without pause.

Chorus Meaning:
He can’t stop himself from spiraling into negative emotions. The chaos around him continues to fuel his feelings, but the cycle never ends. He tries to repair what’s broken in his life, but the darkness keeps coming back. No matter what he does, he keeps going around in the same loop, spiraling downward and feeling powerless to break free.
