Magdalena
Da Capo Players Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my Magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black Madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena
The lyrics of "Magdalena" by Da Capo Players depict a powerful and complex desire for a woman who is perceived as a goddess or an altar. The singer is overwhelmed by this woman's beauty and purity, to the point where they are willing to sacrifice their own sense of self and morality in order to be near her. The repeated lines "I'd sell my soul / My self-esteem, a dollar at a time" suggest that the singer sees themselves as unworthy of this woman or her attention, and that they are willing to do anything to experience just one moment of intimacy with her.
The use of religious imagery in the lyrics adds to the sense of worship and reverence that the singer feels towards Magdalena. The repeated references to her as an "earthly goddess" and a "black Madonna" suggest that the singer sees her as a divine or mystical figure, and that their desire is almost spiritual in nature. The lines "Overcome by this / Holiest of altars" and "Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your / Holiest of altars" reinforce this idea, portraying Magdalena as a sacred object of worship.
Overall, "Magdalena" is a complex and powerful portrayal of desire, worship, and the lengths to which people will go to experience a moment of intimacy with someone they perceive as divine or untouchable.

Being with you, feels like being in the presence of Mary Magdalene
One taste
A single moment
One taste
A single moment
One taste of you my Magdalena
Being with you, feels like something truly special
