DAZED AND CONFUSED
Led Zeppelin (Definitive Collection Mini-LP Replica) 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 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
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
The lyrics of Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" reflects the angst and frustration of a man who has been mistreated by a woman for a long time. He has been dazed and confused for so long now that it feels like his reality. He did not seek a woman like her who hurts and abuses him with her lies. Yet, people keep talking about her as if she is extraordinary, not realizing that the soul of a woman who can do this was created below.
Despite everything, the singer is hypnotized by her sweet talk and appearance, unable to resist her. He doesn't know where she has been or where she is going, but he wants her again. He works hard every day, earning a living, and trying to love her only to be pushed away. Thus, "Dazed and Confused" is an emotionally intense and powerful song with a straightforward message about being trapped in a toxic relationship, fighting to break free from it.
