    makes sense.

    first song i heard from vitalogy.... so much different than any pearl jam song to date.... was really excited for vitalogy's release on this song alone. what a guitar riff!!!!!!

    I couldn't agree more...love this song...

    What i've heard and it make sense to me, is that this song is about eddie's love to vinyl. The black circles spinning around...dropping the needle...and the music start...

    I used to hate spin the black circle. I never really paid much attention to the lyrics. At the time I was not a fan of the faster, more raw, garage punk style songs by PJ. I preferred the mellower tunes. a few years ago when my wife and I were at a show and I told her that "spin" was my least fav. tune. She bolted back and said for christs sake its about playing records! Not realizing its lyrical content coupled with the fact that I almost solely listen to vinyl from the 70's...I became an instant fan!

    I meant the barell of the gun.The thing where you put in the bullets.In Russian rullet,you put in one bullet,spin it,and then shoot your head.If theat bullet happens to be there,then you are screwed.

    I could see the metaphoric referance to the chamber of a gun (black circle) but it also says "see the needle drop it down...oh so gently" unless the needle then becomes (metaphorically) the hammer of a gun. but all in all I think it is about spinning records because of pearl jams' love of vinyl. (ten club x-mas gifts, library of congress visit). Although in the mid 90's there was alot of gun referances in PJ songs ex. the jeremy video, glorified G, "16 gauge buried under my coat" from once. But that is what is great about art.... its open to interpretration.
