Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Desire's song "Under Your Spell" are simple yet deep, as they speak of an intense longing and obsession for someone. The lines "I don't eat, I don't sleep, I do nothing but think of you" repeat twice in the song, emphasizing the depth of the singer's feelings towards the person. It's as if the person has cast a spell on the singer, leaving them unable to function in normal life without them constantly on their mind.


The chorus, "You keep me under your spell," reinforces this idea, that the singer is powerless to resist the pull of the other person. The conversation that takes place towards the end of the song adds another level of complexity, as the two people discuss the differences between love, obsession, and desire. The singer seems unsure about whether this intense feeling will last forever, and hopes it does, creating a sense of longing and uncertainty.


The song can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of becoming too attached to someone, losing oneself in the process. At the same time, it could also be seen as a celebration of the intensity of emotions that love can bring, even if they are all-consuming. Overall, "Under Your Spell" is a poignant and haunting portrayal of the depths of human desire.

This song perfectly captures the restlessness of love, the ache and emptiness in your stomach, the quiver in your pulse. It's been a long time since I've felt those things.
