Make a Wish
Conjure One (w/ Poe) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's over now
You can close your eyes it's over
Baby, baby, baby
Tell me have you ever been afraid like this
(It's over now)
I've seen it watching me
That misty thing
Without a face
It weaves my thoughts
Lined them up in black lace
It buries my shape
And leaves no trace
Tomorrow I will have no shame
And I will start again
Make a wish
Tell me have you ever felt alone like this
(Over now)
Better do it, sure
Just wishing
I could move in some more
Tomorrow I will have no shame
And I will start again
Make a wish
(You can close your eyes it's over now)
Baby I have never been afraid like this
(You can close your eyes it's over now)
Make a wish
I took off my shoes
I took off my face
And then I undid the buttons on my dress
(I will start again)
Make a wish
You can close your eyes it's over now
Tell me have you ever been exposed like this
(You can look into your mind)
Baby, baby, baby
Feels like a kiss
(You can close your eyes and start again)
I bet you never thought that I could feel like this
Tomorrow I will have no shame
Tomorrow I will have no shame
Make a wish
The lyrics of the song Make A Wish by Conjure One (w/ Poe) address an individual in a state of vulnerability and fear. The mystery or "misty thing" being watched by the singer reflects their anxiety and doubt, which has made them feel alone and exposed. They encourage the individual to make a wish, to let go of their fears and start anew. The singer talks about shedding their 'face' and revealing the true self, undressing the inner layers and starting afresh. One can even close their eyes and it's over; time to leave the past behind and move forward.
The song seems to hint towards a sense of purging and cleansing. It's all about starting over, whether it’s through making a wish, ridding oneself of shame, or exposing parts of themselves previously hidden. It’s about finding the courage to break free of the doubts and fears that hold us back, and starting afresh with a new and improved sense of self. The song’s lyricism is powerful and moving, as is the delivery by the singer, which drives home the poignancy of the message.
