Spellbound
L-Side Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a place
Where no one could do you harm
I found a place
Where broken things can be fixed
And I've been corrupted
Hangin' by a thread
I got blindsided
'Cause your sex is so good tonight
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
I know a place
Where right and wrong are just words
And love drugs keep you sober
They are maps to the stars
Happiness, beautifully true
Is bright and raw and wild
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
Well I know that someone called you out
But he's not waiting for you
I know you'd like to reach me here
Well, you should, you see you should
So take your bags and leave your shoes
Please stop crying
Right here, right now
I see your freedom
I see your freedom
Well I just see your freedom
Walking away
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
Right now I'm spellbound




Now I'm spellbound
Now I'm spellbound

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, L-Side explores the idea of finding solace and refuge in a place where no harm can be done. The first two lines express the discovery of such a place, where broken things can be mended and protected. However, the next lines reveal a sense of vulnerability and corruption, as the singer is hanging by a thread and blindsided by the intense pleasure of a sexual encounter.


The mention of sugar running through their bloodstream suggests a heightened sense of sweetness and euphoria. The shift from a pale blue morning to a tangerine hue symbolizes a transformation from dullness to vibrancy. This new experience is powerful enough to make curtains fall, metaphorically implying that it has the ability to alter their perception and reality. The repetition of "now I'm spellbound" emphasizes the intoxicating effects of this newfound enchantment.


The following verse suggests that there is a place where conventional notions of right and wrong become merely subjective concepts. Love is likened to a drug that keeps one sober, acting as a guide through the uncertainties of life. Love is described as bright, raw, and wild, representing its untamed and emotional nature. Once again, the essence of this experience is likened to sugar in the bloodstream, reinforcing its intensity.


The lyrics then imply a tension between the singer and someone who has called them out, perhaps challenging their choices or behavior. However, this person is not waiting for them, highlighting their lack of importance. The singer invites this person to reach them but also encourages them to leave behind their baggage and tears. The lyrics convey a sense of empowerment and freedom, suggesting that the singer sees their own liberation in the other person's departure.


Ultimately, the chorus repeats the idea of being spellbound, emphasizing the captivating nature of the experiences described throughout the song. The repetition reinforces the impact and lasting effect these experiences have on the singer's life.
