Tori Amos - Spark Lyrics

Still my favorite song by Tori

17.01.2020.

One of the best songs ever in the history of Rock by one of the most fundamental and influential ARTISTS of all time hasn’t reached a million views yet?? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

2020 l m still listen ❤️❤️❤️

2020 anyone?

Thumbs up if u remember when MTV refused to play this (or only played it late at night) because of the car explosion.......

Really? Didn't know that. Then again MTV refused to play Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" when it was first released. MTV always has been a set of knobbers. The car explosion thing seems bizarre though I never heard of that being MTV ban-worthy.

What? Maybe in the US... MTV Europe definitely played it throughout the day, but then MTV Europe never banned songs.

Man, some people not only reach their potential, they reach humanity's potential. Well done, Ms. Tori.

I love this video. So much passion in her pain.

The Golden Egg..

First impressions for this song for me was a little bit weird, dark,and creepy,but after I listened timesly,this song blowed my mind,it's beautiful masterpiece, become my favourite one

God Damn I Miss the 90’s!!

This is an example of an artist taking money from a record company to make great art —— musically & visually. Tori ==== True Artist

The blondes at the end are obviously Cornflake Girls.

I think that she did this to herself and not in the way that I think you'd assume I meant. In the video I mean. She believes she did this to herself. Accidentally..

That's why those girls won't help her

Does somebody can explain the story of this song ?  I am french and I don't understand all !  I think it's about a kidnapped and hurted girl.  Thanks !

its about miscarriage

I'm sorry, but I don't see the connection between this video and a miscarriage….

@Philip HENRY I'm talking about the song not the video...

12 october 2019

I'm not blond. Thank you tori.

I miss the days I shared with every EWF out there.

F***! 3:28am and I'm in a Tori hole with no signs of climbing out anytime soon 🤪

Well damn-that sucks

The worst betrayal is that of a sister in need.

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here
Here
Here

She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep Baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here

You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
if the Divine master plan is perfection
Maybe next I'll give Judas a try
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here

You say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This cirucs we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it
How may fates turn around in the overtime
Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yeah
Well so did I
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it
Say you don't want it again
And again but you don't really mean it
Say you don't want it
This circus we're in
But you don't you don't really mean it
You don't really mean it

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here

Wish I had this woman's beauty and talent.

When my baby died, I listened to this song over and over.

I Love You Tori Amos... Awesome Video!

What do you know about the woods, boy?

A lot love them. Pretty close to being a ranger. I feel very at home and in my natural element. Any harm to woods or woodland creatures piss me off. Not to be mistaken with a hippie though

@John Besse
Korn fans.

She's a goddess.

She's amazing ...

I'm so glad she got away ! Even though she didn't catch a ride with those two jerks at the end. She made it !

I am not a major fan of Tori Amos, however, I acknowledge she is a very talented artist. She gets an A+ for this song and video!

Remind me MTV Fantastic Females Album part 1 😍

Happy 21 to Choirgirl Hotel ! Thank you for saving & inspiring me!!!

I'll always be a Tori fan. I'm a guy, but I adore her. She helped me as well.

♥️🎧

That’s my nickname SKEETER that’s carved on the tree🤗

She's the 8 of Swords in this video.

You were part of my youth and adolescence. Your songs still fill my living-room every once in a while (besides old Testament, Slipknot and Slayer). I am 43 years old now...but I still know about the stages of emotions that music can endorse or even create. Thumbs up, Tori - you rock 'n' rule!

This is a masterpiece! The instrumentation alone is full of emotions.

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is here here here
She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she could'nt keep baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere here here here
You say you don't want it again and again but you don't don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it, you don't don't Really mean it
If the divine master plan is perfected
Maybe next I'll give Judus a try
Trusting my soul to the icecream assassin here here here
You say you don't want it again and again but you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it, you don't don't Really mean it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yes well so did I
Say you don't want it say you don't want it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb yes well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it, say you don't want it again and again but you don't, Don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus were in but you don't, don't really mean it
Don't really mean it
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is here here here

about rape sexual abuse and she escapes *realizingwhathapoenedtoher* and the end is women denying the victim because they went through it too and their coldness is denial

Weirdos and she is...the music is a reminder of the fuckery

Tori has and will always be my musical therapist.

Dark video & heavy song

Spark Lyric

She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of a light in the dark
6.58 are you sure where my spark is
Here, here, here

She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here, here, here

You say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it, this circus we're in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it

Alot of yall need to dance around a pagan bonfire to this song. And it shows...

This reminds of the victims of Ted Bundy

The piano crescendo at 2:46 is the most gutwrenching release.

this song digs deep into pain and fears to bring them out and allow us to deal with them

Tori is fuckin' AMAZING

vampire!!! +

Why did you say vampire

I LOVE YOU TORI

I always liked Tori than my friend died, she was his favorite, my feelings for her music went to a different level.

I love the meaning of this video that the blind fold represents that’s she dosent know what the doctors are doing and has no say in everything around her x

Hi angie.

I would say thanks first, then say she had the courage to go out on a limb and do something different than anyone else. Quite the artist. Blazing a path fresh and new. And most of all drop dead gorgeous. Just like her face, beautiful. I have heard wonderful piano and fine lyrics. Thank you Tori for all the emotions and wonderful sound. I love you and your music. Take care and live long.

The original Birdbox

I love Tori Amos she is the best and I’m 10

The original "Bird Box" in my own opinion...

I just watched Bird Box

I love the way she goes deep inside your head.

Tori is so sexy

"But she don't really mean it!"
And those loud ass piano keys at the end!
So f-ing great!
MUSIC GENIUS!
Back when women in music were powerful
and demanded everyone see's it as SUCH!

WHAT A VIDEO TORI I'D NEVER SEEN IT... YOU REALLY MADE ME CRY AT THE END

Is there a tampon laying on the ground at 0:59?

He lost his finger in the crash. A nice morbid flourish.

It's a cigar.... you see it smoking and setting off the car explosion at 2:57.

These chords give me chills...
Scrape me off the floor kind.
Luv this song.....Cornflake Girl.
Tori is amazing in this

love Tori

Also, I lost a pregnancy due to a very abuseive situation. I feel this song connects with ‘silent all these years.’ You dread having a tie to your abuser, but you also still grief a loss when it’s over. I didn’t even know the pregnancy or miscarriage happened until my horemones went haywire for months after. I did not want kids with me rapist, of course, but I never wanted to lose a child. Either way, it would have been awful. But, the ‘spark’ of hope is that when it happens, you are no longer bound to someone (how many dates turn around in the overtime...). I still can’t believe that mainstream radio went from this to crap written at a 2nd grade level, that tells no story and has no core, in just two decades. People think I hate pop music. I hate the shit that’s around today. If you go through them something earth shattering, you can never relate to bubblegum, surface value love/break up/clubbing songs again. There were other songs about very heavy topics on mainstream radio, then. Even the ‘happy songs’ had a message and feeling.

This video!!! The end, where she gets them the car, shows them that she’s bed kidnapped and tied up, and they just look at each other and drive away! It truly captures what it’s like going through a trauma. You come through so much on your own, and then you need help to go further, and so many people just choose to say ‘not my problem.’ After the third or forth time someone makes you think they’ll help, but then puts their own trauma-free existence before your needs, when they drove away after stopping, or call to ask ‘what’s going on,’ but then say ‘this is like, too much for me’ when you tell them. I remember thinking the dress bee was such an awful person when I was in middle school and this was new. Now I understand it too clearly.

The way they were depicted seemed as though they knew it was important for her to make the rest of the journey on her own, to unbind her hands (creativity) and work through the trauma in the unique way only she can, nobody... not even an "angel" can unbind what you have sown for the journey into florescence. Besides, the video makes it clear there is a supernatural "assistance" guiding her, somehow even in a fall below the water protected on the path, and her trust even blinded and bound got her to the road for the next stage. 💖

@Macronomicus escape! Unbind!, a vacant woods! Sound like there might be a metaphor here somewhere.

This video, for some reason - its my go to when there is something going on in my life. This video communicates to an unhealed and traumatic place within me, but the video and song both allow this place in me to have a safe place to speak. So I go to this video, when I need to allow the wounds to heal, and the pain to feel. It speaks to places in me that feel trapped, and kidnapped of my freedom. I see myself as the person fleeing from captors and emotional vampires. I see myself as the one who has the strength to fight back, but doesn't have an ally at all times. This video ... its OK to go there sometimes.

This is the first time I’ve heard this song and it’s so fantastic song and tori Amos is amazing singer

Margiela DRESS.....

How to escape....THANK YOU, TORI AMOS AND BAND!!!!!!!💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

There Is No Escape not for real, but escape is overrated anyway. The only way to go through life is to live it and experience, it no Escape.

The song still gives me chills

wow this song and video still sounds fresh and current as it was 20 years ago........1998. One of my childhood favorites together with Fiona Apple's "Criminal".

Tori Amos is bliss

LOVE this video and song...

I never tire of Tori Amos!

I love blowing stuff up! Lol. 🔥🤪

Happy birthday, Tori! :*

Wow ! a Maxi !!

I love this video! and song!

This song was my life. I struggled with addiction, and while this wasn't my stopping point, this song held up a mirror on my self-destruction. Thank you Tori.

SKEETER? Skeeters were sold were advetised. "Do you know where my spare keys are?" Culture. Morality conversational culture. Different culture came out in conversation cited in the lyriscs. Pins on jacket manquets, owl pins, the watch. Not produced in here. 14th century now. Worn also in 13th century if you time travel. It has progressed, the century. Still same suit fashion. It is not in fact time travel, ST, space travel, land travel, enclave with different culture in our 21st century, called Mormons, culture of mormons quoted in lyrics, culture of Mormons, they use a different date, different calendar, and they are the actual only existing 13/14th century. Enclave with different century date. The world is very young. Our 21st century date is also staged. Everybody in all land enclaves live in a staged calendar. World is circa 1000 year old. One thousand. Note, that space travel means normal land travel, Area travel. Not some cosmic travel. Communistic SS made this horrible scientific crime and damaged reputations of people for their using words "space travel". area travel is space travel. to get to 14th century you need to just travel through roads of our contemporary areas.
Woman in car has no make-up. Neither of them. Not probable in 21st century area unless my own video, which means unless a home not-mafiac video. This is a mafiac video. Song was stolen from Tori by mafia, lyrics partially changed, mostly cut-out. Old cars, non-existing nowadays. Old benzine. Old type of explosion, not happens in 21st century.
Label on a dress on a back, never on a back nowadays. Label on the back of clothes in the middle. See-through clothes, strange clothes. Possibly given to Tori to put on her own clothes so that she wouldn't look strange.
Skeeters are sweets produced by Mormons, known fact it was. Nature and forests in video strangely hilly, look like forests around St.Albans next to London, forests around Dublin and St.Albans. Mormonic enclave must be there. Hence forests guarded by fences, and entrance to them not possible. Many forest areas not possible to enter for people because of timal calendar enclaves behind them. The Mormonic enclave must be with calendar of 14th century. I underline that there was and is no other 14th century than this enclave. All dates in all calendars are always staged. We do not live in an old world. I will say more on my own blog.
Tori was kidnapped a few times and taken to strange unknown territories with strangely behaving people, often strangely dressed. Not just in the one house, on whole territory. Culture of fairs, culture of markets, that was on those territories. She talked about it publicly. Those territories had different calendars, even though she not always knew that because the kidnappers tried to hide that fact from her. She had to run away on her own from most such kidnappings. I underline, there is no problem to kidnap somebody of our contemporary world to 14th century or 17th century. They are enclaves inside our 21st century. Often called Mormons or Sectan. This is only an area travel for kidnappers, no time travel is needed. History happens in those enclaves. Enlightenment events happen in the 17th century enclave which is an area territory in our contemporary 21st world.
Time travel is needed only for some parts of historical calendar terrains, it is also possible, but of course it doesn't happen through simple car drive. Tori was car driven to territories with 14th century calendar. This is the historical century of William Wallace. He lives there on those terrains. In our contemporary world.
I still want to know what spark is and spare keys are. Maybe they are spark keys. Is spark a mechanical part of a car or some machine? Then not used on 21st territories.

The world is very huge and very young. Very huge.

Just realized this song is a waltz..love this song

she seems to be addicted to being a victim. hummmm. if that so. be fine.

Wooohoo³ This girl still rocks so much. Thank u for the music.

Reminds me of the band "Tool"

the best song ever

What jerks for not helping and just driving away. Geeze

You pray to the generic blonde blue eyed vanillas... they fuck you every time. It's a metaphor or is it?

She always made me think of Maharet from Queen of the Damned.

One of her greatest songs in my opinion.

This lady somehow mixed Kate Bush and Jethro Tull into a rather intoxicating brew....Love you Tori forever!

She's one of the best songwriters and performers ever in my opinion.

A powerful song with a powerful video with a powerful message; it's inspiring to see someone standing against this culture of death. I first saw this 20 years ago (possibly to the day) and have never forgotten it.

Absolute GENIUS!

Has anybody else noticed that the music in the verse sounds strangely like "Rush"? Specifically Alex Lifeson guitar style and Neil Peart drum rhythms.

I had never really heard of Tori Amos. I came across this song though and find it really compelling. What would be a better song by her from a fan that would know.

Gabriel Powers if you're still interested and haven't found them yet, check out 'Little Earthquakes' and 'A Scarlet's Walk'. They're both gem albums.

Gabriel Powers, I'd second her album Little Earthquakes, followed by Under the Pink, and her EP Boys for Peele. I imagine you'll recognize the song "Cornflake Girl" from Little Earthquakes, "God" from Under the Pink (which I still hear pop up on the radio), and possibly "Telula" from the movie Twister (assuming you've seen the movie!), though I'm more a fan of the song "Caught a Lite Sneeze" from that EP.
