Spellbound
Alden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, you can't make it what it's not
Not sure what this city's got
For me, for me, for me
Is it my right to know
Where I'm headed?
Where I'm going and who I'll meet
Who I am and who I'll be
It's pouring now
As you relive this on and on
Do you think we're spellbound to it?
Do you think we're spellbound to it?
In the car with the flash
My life happened in a flash
Don't blink you might crash
Don't drive too fast
You'll be spellbound
Spellbound to me
Spellbound to you
Spellbound to us
And all the things we do
Spellbound to it
Spellbound to me
Spellbound, are we?
To all the things we'll be
In Alden's song "Spellbound," the lyrics explore the theme of uncertainty and self-discovery in the context of a city environment. The opening lines, "Wishing wells and parking lots, No, you can't make it what it's not," suggest a longing for something more in life but coming to terms with the limitations and realities of the city. The singer expresses a sense of confusion, questioning what the city has to offer and what their place is within it.
The lyrics continue with introspective questions about the journey of self-discovery: "Is it my right to know where I'm headed? Where I'm going and who I'll meet, who I am and who I'll be." These lines reflect a desire for clarity and understanding about one's future and personal growth.
The chorus, "Do you think we're spellbound to it?" poses a rhetorical question about whether they are trapped or captivated by the circumstances of their life and the city. The repetition of the phrase "spellbound to it" emphasizes the feeling of being entrapped or enchanted by the unknown and the journey of self-discovery.
The second verse shifts focus to a car journey, symbolizing the fast-paced nature of life. The line, "My life happened in a flash, Don't blink you might crash," suggests the importance of staying present and aware of one's surroundings, as well as the potential consequences of rushing through life without considering the consequences. The repetition of "Spellbound to me, Spellbound to you, Spellbound to us, And all the things we do," highlights the interconnectedness of individuals and the shared experiences that shape their lives.
Overall, "Spellbound" delves into the themes of uncertainty, self-discovery, and the experiences and connections that define our lives, all within the context of a city environment.
