Mystery
Jesse Jo Stark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we were young
You kissed the devils lips
Just for fun
Her name cracks in your heart
To rip yourself apart
You turned up the record player
You said that this one
Always made you feel alone
And you've never been the same
You're still like that today
You're still a mystery to me
Dead, dead, he
We never sleep
We're too in love to stop
You're still a mystery to me
Don't think twice
Hold your breath
This moment's made of dust
You're still a mystery to me
Do you remember
Last summer by the beach
Kept kissing you
You kept kissing me
So we wouldn't float off in the dark
From the acid on our tongues
You're still a mystery to me
Dead, dead, he
We try to sleep
We're too in love to stop
You're still a mystery to me
Don't think twice
Hold your breath
The moment's made of dust
You're still a mystery to me
When you walked to me
And held my hand
We held our breath
So the moment wouldn't turn to dust
You're still a mystery to me
You're still mystery to me
The song "Mystery" by Jesse Jo Stark is a beautiful and hauntingly intriguing piece that revolves around the idea of the inexplicable nature of love and relationships. The lyrics themselves are vague and metaphorical, leaving the meaning open to interpretation. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer reminiscing about past experiences with someone and describing their actions as "kissing the devil's lips just for fun." The second verse presents a more tangible moment, as the singer remembers a time spent with the same person by the beach, but this memory is also clouded by the surreal image of "floating off in the dark from the acid on our tongues."

I can't remember
I cannot recall
When we were young
During our childhood days
You kissed the devil's lips
You indulged in forbidden acts
Just for fun
Simply for entertainment
Her name cracks in your heart
She evokes pain within you
To rip yourself apart
To cause oneself emotional distress
You turned up the record player
You increased the volume of the music player
Twisting the cramps off the bone
Overcoming physical pain
You said that this one
You mentioned that this particular song
Always made you feel alone
Always made you feel isolated
And you've never been the same
You have not been unchanged
You're still like that today
You are still the same way even now
You're still a mystery to me
You are still an enigma to me
Dead, dead, he
Lifeless, lifeless, he
We never sleep
We never rest
We're too in love to stop
We are too much in love to halt
Don't think twice
Do not overthink
Hold your breath
Pause your breathing
This moment's made of dust
This instant is fleeting
Do you remember
Do you recollect
Last summer by the beach
Last summer near the ocean
Kept kissing you
Continued to kiss you
You kept kissing me
You also continued to kiss me
So we wouldn't float off in the dark
In order to avoid getting lost in the darkness
From the acid on our tongues
Caused by the bitterness in our words
We try to sleep
We attempt to slumber
When you walked to me
When you approached me
And held my hand
And grasped my hand
