The Spell
Honest Doc. & Mr. Driver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when I see you, I'm sure you understand.
She got a date with you to declare herself,
But when she talked you liked to cut her short
Now you're trying to spell her name
And every letter is hard to say
You used to laugh when she talked about love,
Now it don't seem so easy to be alone
Cause she was there and you thought you were not free
Now you're trying to spell her name
And every letter is hard to say
The Spell by Honest Doc. & Mr. Driver is a song that delves into the complexities of relationships and the consequences of taking love for granted. The opening lines, "I thought you were too blind to see her love, but when I see you, I'm sure you understand" suggest that the singer is aware of the love that someone has for him, but he is too oblivious to notice it. The lyrics go on to describe how this person had a chance to express her love for the singer but was never given the chance. Instead, the singer would cut her off when she spoke about love.
As the song progresses, we see a change of heart from the singer, where he suddenly realizes what he has lost. The line "You used to laugh when she talked about love, now it don't seem so easy to be alone" suggests that the singer no longer finds it amusing to dismiss love and is now feeling the weight of the void left in the absence of the person who loved him. The chorus "Now you're trying to spell her name, and every letter is hard to say" indicates that he may be trying to win her back, but the task of spelling her name is daunting for him, signifying the enormous effort he will have to make to regain her love.

I thought you were too blind to see her love,
I believed that you couldn't comprehend her affections
But when I see you, I'm sure you understand.
However, when I observe you, I have faith that you comprehend them now
She got a date with you to declare herself,
She arranged a meeting with you to declare her feelings to you
But when she talked you liked to cut her short
However, when she spoke, you frequently interrupted her
Now you're trying to spell her name
Now, you're attempting to verbalize her name
And every letter is hard to say
Each alphabet seems difficult to articulate
You used to laugh when she talked about love,
You used to elicit a chuckle when she spoke about affection
Now it don't seem so easy to be alone
Now, being by oneself doesn't seem simple
You always knew a dirty lie to tell,
You consistently had a dishonest explanation
Cause she was there and you thought you were not free
Since she was present and you assumed that you had no independence
Now you're trying to spell her name
Now, you're attempting to verbalize her name
And every letter is hard to say
Each alphabet seems difficult to articulate
