Modern Mystery
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a pointless, small place on a map in outer space.
Every second, everyday you're gone.
I've got a job that I can't keep working on.
Yeah.

I think you are so annoying,
That's why you get so disappointing.
I swear you are so important.
Nothing you do is pointless.
Yeah.

There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.

Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.

And I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
I'm so glad I dont hear you say no.

You could really put me in my place,
On a map in outerspace.
You've got a real cool constitution, and it's a come on,
But it's not an illusion.
Yeah.

There is no modern mystery,
No mystic chords of memory.
There is no modern mystery,
We're making up our history.

There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
No mystic chords of memory. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
We're making up our history. (Oooh)

There is no modern mystery,
No in-between ancestry.
I didn't mean to hurt ya.
Thought I was done,
But I heard ya.

There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
No mystic chords of memory. (Oooh)
There is no modern mystery, (Oooh)
We're making up our history. (Oooh)

Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.
Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah, Woah-oowoah.

And we may fight with each others shadows,
But I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.
Yeah, I'm so glad I don't here you say no.
I'm so glad I don't hear you say no.

Overall Meaning

The song "Modern Mystery" by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is a reflective tune that contemplates the idea of history and its creation. The lyrics suggest that there is no real modern mystery or mystic chords of memory that define our past. The first verse paints a picture of insignificance, suggesting that the place they reference is just a small point on a map in outer space.

However, he also admits that this person is important to him and that nothing they do is pointless.


The chorus repeats the phrase "there is no modern mystery," which emphasizes the idea that history is made up, and that there are no set rules or secrets that define it. The bridge adds a new dimension to the song, with the lyrics suggesting that the truth is somewhere in between our ancestry and the stories we tell ourselves. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of relief and closure, with the singer expressing his happiness that he no longer has to hear the person he is referring to say no.
