Mornings Eleven
The Magic Numbers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know
Well what's my name, well what's my name ?
I don't know
Baby if you telephone
Maybe I can meet you in the morning
Call me if you're on your own
And maybe I can meet you in the morning
You're in denial, you're in denial
And I know
Well what's my name, well what's my name?
I don't know
Baby if you telephone
Maybe I can meet you in the morning
Call me if you're on your own
And maybe I can meet you in the morning
Mornings eleven, the feelings are severed
I can't feel anything at all
But I would die for you
Oh I would die for you
All that I've ever seen
All that I've ever been
All that I've ever was,
I would die for you
Oh I would die for you
I had it all
But I never thought I did
No, no, no, no, I never thought I did
I had it all
But I never thought I did
No, no, no, no I never thought I did
You're in denial, you're in denial
And I know
Well what's my name, well what's my name
I don't know
Baby if you telephone
Maybe I can meet you in the morning
Call me if you're on your own
And maybe I can meet you in the morning
Die for you
Die for you
I had it all
But I never thought I did
No, no, no, no, I never thought I did
I had it all
But I never thought I did
No, no, no, no I never thought I did
I had it all
The Magic Numbers' song "Mornings Eleven" appears to be a love song about a relationship in turmoil. The lyrics "You're in denial, you're in denial" suggest that one person in the relationship is refusing to acknowledge a problem or perhaps the fact that the relationship is deteriorating. The repeated question "Well what's my name, well what's my name" indicates a sense of disconnection between the two individuals. The offer to meet in the morning if the other person telephones shows a willingness to try to make things work, but the line "the feelings are severed, I can't feel anything at all" suggests a sense of hopelessness or emptiness. The repeated refrain "I would die for you" indicates a deep level of love and commitment, even in the midst of difficulty.
Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the complexities of a relationship that is both strained and deeply meaningful. The imagery of "mornings eleven" suggests a sense of time passing and the need to take action before it's too late. The repeated line "I had it all but I never thought I did" adds a layer of introspection, as though the singer is realizing only in hindsight the depth of what they had and may be losing.
Line by Line Meaning
You're in denial, you're in denial
You're refusing to accept the truth and it's obvious to me
And I know
I am aware of your denial
Well what's my name, well what's my name ?
You don't acknowledge or recognize me anymore
I don't know
I'm unsure of my own identity in this situation
Baby if you telephone
If you reach out to me
Maybe I can meet you in the morning
Perhaps we can start over and see each other again in the morning
Call me if you're on your own
Contact me if you're feeling alone
And maybe I can meet you in the morning
And we can spend some time together
Mornings eleven, the feelings are severed
It's only in the morning that I feel somewhat detached from my emotions
I can't feel anything at all
I'm emotionally numb
But I would die for you
Despite feeling disconnected, I still deeply care for you
All that I've ever seen
All of my past experiences
All that I've ever been
All of my past actions and behaviors
All that I've ever was,
All of my past self and identity
I would die for you
I love you unconditionally
I had it all
I had everything I ever wanted
But I never thought I did
But I never realized how amazing my life was until now
No, no, no, no, I never thought I did
I was blind to my own blessings
Die for you
I am willing to sacrifice myself for your happiness
