Mystified
Colin Blunstone & Rod Argent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't shake the feeling, something has to change
What in the world is this
Something inside me denied
Well, you say you have to leave me
Baby, I'm mystified
I feel like a train on a broken track
What in the world can I do
Now that your sweet love has died
You say you have to leave me
Baby, I'm mystified
What in the world is my future
How can I break from the past
Resigning in love and confusion
Well, I try to remember from the first time to the last
The storm clouds gather and the cold wind blow
Looks like winter, Lord it feels like snow
What in the world is this
Baby, you were my pride
Now you say you have to leave me
Baby, I'm mystified
The song Mystified by Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent portrays a man who is uncertain about where his life is headed after the end of a relationship. He feels like his mind is playing tricks on him, and he cannot seem to shake the feeling that something must change. Despite this, he struggles with denial as he knows that the one person he had relied on for support is leaving him. The lyrics are quite powerful as they express the pain and confusion that comes along with a failed relationship.
The verses of the song express the man's state of mind and the chorus is the statement of the impending loss he is about to face. He is mystified by the turn of events and is unsure of how to move on. He feels lost and trapped in the situation, unsure of what to do next. The imagery used in the lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for how the man is feeling. The broken track represents his mind, which cannot seem to move away from the past and towards the future. The cold wind and snow represent how the man feels inside, with his emotions in turmoil, and his heart frozen over.
