Make a Wish
Conjure One (w/ Poe) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can close your eyes it's over now

It's over now

You can close your eyes it's over

Baby, baby, baby
Make a wish

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

Overall Meaning

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.
