Under Your Spell feat.Aruna
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the beat of a song
I feel like a stranger
Wondering where I belong
I wanna start all over
But I know that I can't
I'm helpless without you
I don't know who I am
I'm under your spell
Bound and blind and only you can save me
I'm tangled up inside
Caught in your web
I'm hypnotized and only you can wake me
Only you can bring this heart to life
Colors feel so faded
And I can't hear a sound
I'm walking in circles
Watching my world burn down
There's nothing else to fight for
'Cause you're all that I know
I'm stuck in your shadow
Letting you take control
I'm under your spell
Bound and blind and only you can save me
I'm tangled up inside
Caught in your web
I'm hypnotized and only you can wake me
Only you can bring this heart to life
So pull me in and don't let go
I wanna fall forever
I wanna overflow
If there's some way out, don't let me know
I don't wanna come to
It's too big to undo
I need to be near you
I can't keep away
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
I'm under your spell
Bound and blind and only you can save me
I'm tangled up inside
Caught in your web
I'm hypnotized and only you can wake me
Only you can bring this heart to life
The lyrics to "Under Your Spell" by Cosmic Gate seem to describe the feeling of being trapped and completely enamored with someone. The singer feels lost and unsure of themselves, but also can't let go of this person who has completely consumed them. They are counting the hours, trying to make sense of their feelings, while also feeling like a stranger in their own life. They long to start over, but the thought of being without this person is unbearable.
The chorus is the most impactful part of the song, where the singer admits to being under this person's spell, completely bound and blind to anything except their love. They describe themselves as tangled in a web, hypnotized and unable to break free without the help of this person. They are living in their shadow, allowing them to take control of their life.
The bridge is the most vulnerable part of the song, where the singer is asking to be pulled in and not let go. They want to fall forever and never let go of this love. They admit that they don't want to find a way out, it's too big to undo, and they need to be close to this person. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, solidifying the idea that the singer is completely consumed by this love, unable to break free without this person's help.

Counting out the hours
I am constantly tracking time
Like the beat of a song
My counting is repetitive and rhythmic
I feel like a stranger
I do not recognize myself
Wondering where I belong
I am unsure of my place in the world
I wanna start all over
I desire a fresh start
But I know that I can't
I am aware that this is not possible
I'm helpless without you
I am unable to function without you
I don't know who I am
I have lost my sense of identity
I'm under your spell
You have complete control over me
Bound and blind and only you can save me
I am trapped and can only be saved by you
I'm tangled up inside
I am emotionally conflicted
Caught in your web
I am stuck in a situation I cannot escape
I'm hypnotized and only you can wake me
You have put me in a trance and only you can bring me out of it
Only you can bring this heart to life
You are the only person who can fill my heart with love and emotion
Colors feel so faded
Everything around me seems dull and lifeless
And I can't hear a sound
I feel disconnected from the world
I'm walking in circles
I am lost and confused
Watching my world burn down
My life is falling apart
There's nothing else to fight for
I have nothing left to struggle for
'Cause you're all that I know
You are the only thing I have left
I'm stuck in your shadow
I cannot escape your influence
Letting you take control
I am allowing you to take charge of my life
So pull me in and don't let go
I want to be close to you and never be separated
I wanna fall forever
I desire to be with you indefinitely
I wanna overflow
I want my love for you to be limitless
If there's some way out, don't let me know
I do not want to leave this situation
I don't wanna come to
I do not want to become aware of reality
It's too big to undo
The consequences of this situation are too immense to reverse
I need to be near you
I require your presence to survive
I can't keep away
I am unable to stay away from you

lol,,, American in the flesh,,, sorry for the confusion.
the handful of Americans into euro/trance etc. get it underground, Webster Hall NYC.
for me euro/trance has been since the first Rave rush filtered here,,, Storm Rave mid-late 90's. i was the company responsible for production supplying massive sound, lighting and video. The DJ artists then were Frankie Bonez, Lenny D, Adam X, Heather Heather, Doc Martin to name a few and who exposed euro to me.
Growing out of rave systems, i moved onto concert touring systems for the big leagues and in my every weekend spare time was at the clubs: Sound Factory, limelight, Tunnel, Palladium , Twilo, Sound factory bar etc, as club-kid and business (equipment rental vendor).. I was Very close to Junior Vasques, Victor Calderone, Frankie Knuckles, Peter Roughfer, Danny Teneglia, R Sanchez, basically all NY's finest and all deep underground.
My attraction to euro/trance is its production complexity, preferably with vocals for system equalization and BOOM.. i hear today tracks and chock-up experiencing layered 3-dimensional score/stems being explored and applied beautifully , mix-down value is beyond great and guys are geniuses.
Today modern tracks with digital advancement is off the rails and 3 dimensional sound in layers is the future for concert loudspeakers (steering sound),
I am also a loudspeaker physics engineer and manufacture my brand speakers , my latest model is specifically for modern euro , opening and exposing a completely new 3D listening experience that is felt on the ear-drum. (venue or studio). the technology is all passive and patented globally.
My hobby is/was and owner of pro-tools, fl-studio, reason, Yamaha O2R's etc., I know what it takes to produce tracks and had to stop from brain overload seeing the endless possibilities, unable to choose. The euro talent i hear is remarkable and too much goes UN-noticed,,,,, but I and those around do take notice !!!.
About you?

There really should be WAY MORE Trance Breaks songs. This is great trance...but make no mistake... this is also great breaks. More trance with Breaks drums would be one of the most awesome musical things to happen to the world...These sort of drums just go SO GREAT with these sort of melodies, vocals and sounds.
Y'all should also check out:
9pm(til I break)
Divine(Acco Traxx remix)
Many songs by Omuaha and Abdomen Burst...
Vladim Zhukov "evolution" and also "Love" by him as well.
Alex Morph did a sick Trance Breaks song "Eternal Flame,"
Armin Van Buuren "In and out of love"...breaks. Ferry Corsten "It's Time."
So many. Such an underrated, under appreciated neglected technique and style.

Unbelievable how amazing this track actually is. Some tracks don’t hold up over the years. That bass line, the words and sexy voice of Aruna actually puts you under a spell. Mesmerising!

To me this song was always a song of "the future". It just sounded so.. futuristic. I guess it is, since I'm still listening to it in 2020 😎
