Mind Trick
Cullum Jamie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get you babe to stay with me.
Never thought, I'd regret the excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you
So I put my feelings out to dry
Love, one day again,
I'll have to try.
Falling out, making up
It seems such a silly game
Why do I never gain?
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you
Na na na's
If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you
The lyrics to Jamie Cullum’s song “Mind Trick” express the singer’s regret for missing the opportunity to keep someone in his life. He reflects on the excuses he’s made and how they’ve led to the fading away of what they had. However, he finds solace in music, which has the power to intoxicate the mind and leave all troubles behind. He emphasizes how music plays a “mind trick,” which can make him forget about his feelings of missing someone. He acknowledges that he will have to try again to love, but falling out and making up seems futile, and he can’t seem to gain anything from it.
The chorus of the song underscores the power of music in his life. For him, it’s the only thing he needs, and it has a profound impact on his mood and emotions. The na na lines that come after are a way of emphasizing how music leaves him in a state of trance and makes him forget about his troubles. The lyrics can be interpreted to mean that the mind trick played by music is a way to cope with the feelings of regret, loneliness, and pain that arise from lost love.

Eu perdi a oportunidade
De fazer com que você ficasse comigo
Nunca pensei que me arrependeria das desculpas que eu dei
Como uma música, elas desaparecerão
Se existe música na noite
E está muito, muito certo
É a única coisa de que preciso
Intoxica a sua mente
Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás
Então venha e me acompanhe
Não sou só eu que sinto
A música prega uma peça na mente
Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta
Então, coloquei meus sentimentos pra secar
Amor, um dia de novo
Terei que tentar
Brigas, reconciliação
Parece um jogo tão bobo
Por que eu nunca ganho?
Se existe música na noite
E está muito, muito certo
É a única coisa de que preciso
Intoxica a sua mente
Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás
Então venha e me acompanhe
Não sou só eu que sinto
A música prega uma peça na mente
Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta
Na na na's
Se existe música na noite
E está muito, muito certo
É a única coisa de que preciso
Intoxica a sua mente
Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás
Então venha e me acompanhe
Não sou só eu que sinto
A música prega uma peça na mente
Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta
