The Thrill Is Gone
MHE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should
You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well
The lyrics of “The Thrill is Gone” tell the story of a relationship that has come to an end. The “thrill” that once existed between the singer and their lover has vanished, leaving the singer feeling empty and alone. The repetitive chorus sums up the situation succinctly - the thrill is gone and it’s not coming back.
Throughout the verses, the singer calls out their former lover for the pain they’ve caused, promising that they will someday regret their actions. However, the singer also acknowledges that they will always be burdened by the loss of what they once had. They will always be “lonely,” even though they’ve been “freed” from the spell of their former lover.
The melancholy sound of the song, with its slow bluesy guitar, fits the desolate mood perfectly. The lyrics and the music work together to create a powerful expression of heartbreak and loss.
