Whedon: Under your spell
Amber Benson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I'm bathed in light
Something just isn't right

I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power shone
Brighter than any I've known

I'm under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true

You made me believe
The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me complete
You make me complete




You make me complete
You make me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amber Benson's song Whedon: Under Your Spell describe a person who has lived their life in the shadows, never experiencing the warmth of the sun on their face. They had accepted this as their place in life and never thought much about it until they were suddenly bathed in light. However, this realization that something was missing coincides with them being under a spell cast by someone else. This person has noticed them and brought them out of the shadows, making them feel noticed and seen for the first time. The singer is under this person's spell and cannot explain how or why, but they know it's magic.


The second verse describes how the person who cast the spell showed the singer a world they had never seen before, a world full of spirits and charms in the air. The singer had always thought they were the only ones in their world, but this person's power shone brighter than anything they had ever known. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's feeling of being under a spell, unable to think or act for themselves. The third verse describes how the person who cast the spell has made the singer believe in everything they ever dreamed of. The bridge repeats the phrase "You make me complete" several times, emphasizing the dependence that the singer has on the person who cast the spell.

How did this NOT become material for Lumity animatics? The ingredients are all there. This could have been reclaimed as a Lumity anthem like Little Miss Perfect was. What were y'all doing, Owl House fandom?

@tickedoffnow
