Mystery
Elina Born Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People pushing me under the gun
Sayin I'm the one I am the one
Elevatin' me right to the sun
Up to the sun to come undone
With the thrill of thunder
I hide the fear I hope
You'll never see
And then at the right time
I'll get up and I reply
Have all the people
Watchin' me
Do I ever get to feel
Like a queen in a pack of bees
In a pack of bees
I just hope life's gonna bring
A little more of mystery for me
Mystery for me
Lalalala...
I can't find a single reason why
No reason why under the sky
That I could not escape a simple life
Don't wanna survive I need to thrive
With the thrill of thunder
And the pressure I'm under
I hide the fear I hope
You'll never see
And then at the right time
I'll get up and I reply
And all the people
Follow me
Mmm
Lalalala
Mmm
Lalalala
Mmm
Lalalala
And then at the right time
I'll get up and I reply
And all the people
Follow me
Do I ever get to feel
Like a queen in a pack of bees
In a pack of bees
All the drones surroundin' me
Protectin' me hangin' on a tree
Mmm
Lalalala
Mmm
Lalalala
Mmm
Lalalala
The lyrics of Elina Born's "Mystery" speaks about the pressure and expectations that come with being in the spotlight. The first verse talks about how people push her into the limelight, and elevates her to the sun and hopes to come undone. She is under a lot of pressure, but she hides her fear in hopes that no one will see it. She also mentions hoping that life brings a little more mystery for her. In the second verse, she talks about how she cannot find a reason to live a simple life and doesn't want to survive but needs to thrive. She still hides her fear and hopes no one will see it. She mentions how she wants people to follow her and hopes to feel like a queen while surrounded by drones.
The chorus speaks about how she wants to feel like a queen in a pack of bees but hopes life brings a little mystery to her. The Lalalala parts of the song seem to be a way of expressing herself with the melody without relying solely on the lyrics.

I've got one question: WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RELEASED HERE IN THE U.S.? THIS RECORDING IS SENSATIONAL!! Miss Born, this recording is just as good, if not better, than the majority of the music that's coming over our airwaves here, and I'm dead serious when I say that! MISS BORN, YOU ARE ONE OUTSTANDING RECORDING ARTIST, AND THIS RECORDING IS A MASTERPIECE!!.....GET IT OVER HERE TO THE U.S. SO US AMERICANS CAN ENJOY IT AS WELL! Love, peace and respect from Oklahoma, USA!!
