Mystery
Collective Sound Members Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't see me
The sky has come
Turning its back on me
Into your eyes
The shine and tempo of green
And into your lungs that breathe
Theater's sweet
Take a chance
See it's harm
To stub me a scene
Break the ice
And see what we could be
Don't want us to be
A mystery
Give all me all your life
Give all me all your life
Give all me all your life
Charms are mean
I've seen members burning for you
These chains won't craft these feelings
It's half
Yeah, I see you
You don't see me
Your eyes don't call
They're kissing me
Don't you know the way you're from
Mine went back to dreams
When I went astray
The stars, they guide me to you
A mystery
Don't wanna be
A mystery
Don't wanna be
Give all me all your life
Give all me all your life
My love's a member, burning for you
A mystery, yeah
Whoa
In the song "Mystery" by Collective Sound Members, the lyrics seem to revolve around a character who is describing their unrequited love towards someone else. They see this person all the time, but they don't seem to notice them. Instead, they're caught up in their own world, represented by the metaphor of the sky turning its back on the main character.
Despite this, the main character cannot help but be awed by this person's beauty - their eyes and their breath are like a theater show to them. However, the main character is hesitant to approach them, likely out of fear of being rejected or being seen as a mystery. They long for this person to see them, to "break the ice" and give them a chance to show who they truly are. Though someone else may be "burning for" this person, the main character believes that they're the one who truly has a chance with them.
Overall, "Mystery" is a heartfelt and melancholy song about longing for someone who doesn't seem to care about you - and yet there's still the hope that perhaps they might see you if you try hard enough.

Yeah, I see you
I have noticed you
You don't see me
You are unaware of my presence
The sky has come
The weather has changed
Turning its back on me
It seems like the weather is unfavorable to me
Into your eyes
I am looking into your eyes
The shine and tempo of green
I see the color green reflecting in your eyes
And into your lungs that breathe
I am contemplating your breathing
Theater's sweet
I am enjoying the atmosphere
Take a chance
Give me a chance
See it's harm
Realize the danger it might cause
To stub me a scene
To obstruct me from a future event
Break the ice
Introduce yourself and start a conversation
And see what we could be
Let's explore the possibilities
Don't want us to be
I hope we won't stay
A mystery
An unknown or puzzling situation
Give all me all your life
I want all of your love and affection
Charms are mean
Love's surprises can sometimes hurt
I've seen members burning for you
I have noticed some people are attracted to you
These chains won't craft these feelings
Nothing will hold back these emotions
It's half
It's not complete, something is missing
Your eyes don't call
Your eyes are not inviting me
They're kissing me
I feel like your eyes are holding my attention
Don't you know the way you're from
Your origin or background intrigues me
Mine went back to dreams
My thoughts wandered off into daydreams
When I went astray
When I was sidetracked
The stars, they guide me to you
It feels like destiny is bringing us together
Don't wanna be
I don't want to remain
A mystery
An unknown or puzzling situation
My love's a member, burning for you
I am in love with you
A mystery, yeah
An unknown or puzzling situation, indeed
Whoa
An exclamation of surprise or excitement
