DAZED AND CONFUSED
LED Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah

You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again

Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away

Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you




Take it easy baby, let them say what they will
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill

Overall Meaning

"Dazed and Confused" is a song by Led Zeppelin, which was released in their self-titled debut album in 1969. The song is about the struggles of love and the pain caused by it. The lyrics suggest that the persona has been in a state of confusion for a long time, referring to the complexities of romantic relationships. The persona then finds someone and wants to love them, but the person ends up hurting and lying to them, leading to yet more confusion.


The line "Soul of a woman was created below, yeah" alludes to the traditional belief that women are inferior to men and were created after them. The persona is saying that despite this belief, women have the power to hurt and affect a man deeply. The phrase "hypnotize" suggests that the persona was blinded by love and others took advantage of that. The persona then works hard and tries to love the woman, but she pushes him away, leaving him confused about their relationship again.


The song ends with the persona telling the woman to take it easy and let others say what they will, indicating that he is done with the relationship and is ready to move on. The final line "Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill" also suggests that the persona was taken advantage of by the woman financially, and he is now cutting ties.
