DAZED AND CONFUSED
Led Zepellin/Led Zeppelin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 abuse tellin' all of your lies
Run 'round sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been
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
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ah
(Ahh)
Oh, yeah, alright, alright
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh don't leave me so confused, no
Oh, baby
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
Tongue wag so much when I sent you the bill
Oh, yeah, alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics to Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" convey a sense of confusion and disillusionment with love and relationships. The singer is "dazed and confused" from years of searching for a woman, but finding disappointment and deceit instead. He reflects on how few people truly understand the intricacies of the soul of a woman and laments the lies and abuse that seem to be a part of every relationship he's known.
The singer's desire for love is clear, but it is also accompanied by a sense of frustration and desperation. He works hard to provide for his partner but still feels pushed away by her. He longs for her but doesn't know where she has been or where she is going. The refrain of "ah, ah, ah" and "oh, oh, oh" seems to represent the singer's inner turmoil, as he struggles to make sense of it all.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a deep yearning for connection and understanding, but also an awareness of the challenges and difficulties inherent in relationships. The repetitive, hypnotic quality of the song reinforces the sense of being trapped in a cycle of longing and disillusionment.
