Gypsy
237 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A soul without a home
An outcast with no past to speak of
Forever cursed to roam
Those who gaze upon her
Are helpless to her charm
Her mystical power
Leave you disarmed!
She is an enigma
Attractive and demure
Many have tried and failed
To cage her spirit pure
Her song is enchanting
Her voice truly divine
Her dance is infecting
I swear she will be mine
She will be mine!
Sing for me, Gypsy
Sing your charming song
Dance for me, Gypsy
Dance your whole life long
You have bewitched me
I've longed to make you mine
To do with as I see fit
Until the end of time, I command you dance!
Imprisoned in my world
My love suffocating
No longer will she sing or dance
Her life is now fading
How could I've been so cruel?
Her soul my will contained
Dying in my cold grasp
An empty shell remains
Empty shell remains!
Sing for me, Gypsy
Sing me one more song
Dance for me, Gypsy
Dance one more day long
You have bewitched me
I've longed to make you mine
To do with as I see fit
Until the end of time, why won't you dance?
The song "Gypsy" by 237 begins with an introduction of the area of the world that the song is about, describing the "nomads," or wandering peoples without a specific home. The lyrics then focus on a particular gypsy, who is described as being an "outcast" who is "forever cursed to roam." Despite the apparent lack of a specific place to call home, the gypsy is described as having a certain mystique and power that draws people in.
The chorus of the song repeats a desire for the gypsy to sing and dance for the singer, with the latter being "bewitched" by her. However, in the third verse, the singer has taken the gypsy and imprisoned her, seeming to relish in the power he has over her. Ultimately, the gypsy is left to die, with only an "empty shell" remaining.
The song speaks to the fascination and mystique surrounding the idea of the wandering gypsy, and the potential dangers that come with trying to control or possess that power. It also touches on the themes of love and control, with the singer's desire for the gypsy seeming to have morphed into a desire to control her completely.
