Magical
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes locked, like, did you feel that too?
World stops, just us
Here under dots in the darkness
Of the blue, out of the blue
Is this how it feels to be in love?
This is magical, this is magical
This is magical, this is magical
Our lips barely one inch
Your skin brushed by my fingertips
Mornings, white mist
So delicate, covers as we begin
As we begin
Is this how it feels to be in love?
This is magical, this is magical
Is this how it feels to be in love?
This is magical, this is magical
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Silence is filled as time stands still
Our thoughts in the open room
Lay here until the sun distills
Its light for the perfect view
Now I'm with you
Is this how it feels to be in love?
This is magical, this is magical
Is this how it feels to be in love?
This is magical, this is magical
In "Magical" by Ed Sheeran, the lyrics paint a picture of a deeply intimate and enchanting connection between two people. The opening lines describe a moment of intense connection, where their eyes lock and they both feel an electric shock, as if time stops and they are the only ones in the world. The use of the metaphor "in the darkness of the blue" suggests that this intense connection has come unexpectedly, out of nowhere.
The chorus is a reflection on the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The singer wonders if this is what it truly feels like to be in love, describing it as magical. The repetition of the phrase "this is magical" reaffirms the awe and wonder of this experience.
The second verse highlights the physical intimacy between the two, as their lips barely an inch apart and their skin brushes against each other. The imagery of white mist creates a sense of delicacy and purity in their moments together.
In the final verse, there is a shift in focus from the external world to their internal thoughts. The silence becomes meaningful and time seems to stand still as they share their deepest thoughts in an open room. They lay there together, waiting for the sun to bring its perfect light, symbolizing the perfect moment they have found with each other.
Overall, "Magical" captures the intense and transformative experience of falling in love, emphasizing the beauty and enchantment that can be found in such a connection.

One touch, electric shock, eyes locked
The connection between us was so intense that it felt like an electric shock when our eyes met.
Like did you feel that too?
I wonder if you also experienced that electrifying connection.
World stops, just us, here under dots
In that moment, everything around us fades away and we are the only ones existing, surrounded by twinkling stars.
In the darkness of the blue, out of the blue
Unexpectedly, within the vast darkness, our encounter brought brightness and happiness.
Our lips barely one inch
Our lips were incredibly close, almost touching.
Your skin brushed by my fingertips
I gently caressed your skin with my fingertips.
Mornings, white mist, so delicate
The mornings were filled with a tranquil and fragile white mist.
Covers as we begin, as we begin
Underneath the blankets, we embark on a new chapter together.
Silence is filled, as time stands still
The silence around us becomes comforting, and it feels like time has stopped.
Our thoughts in the open room
We express our innermost thoughts and vulnerabilities in a safe and accepting environment.
Lay here until the sun distills
We stay in this moment until the sun's light illuminates the world, giving us a perfect view of our love.
It's light for the perfect view, now I'm with you
With your presence, everything becomes clear and beautiful, giving me a perfect perspective on life.
