Lost in Music
Maulisé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
Have you ever seen
Some people lose everything
First to go is their mind. huh
Responsibility
To me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh
I want to join a band
And play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation
We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my 9 to 5
We're lost in music
Mmm, hmm, in the spotlight
The band plays so very tight
Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity
To me, it's my sanity
I could never survive
Some people ask me
What are you gonna be
Why don't you go get a job, uh-uh
All that I could say
I won't give up my music
Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh... oh...
We're lost in music
Caught in a trap (Caught up in our music)
No turnin' back (Ooh... ooh... ooh...)
We're lost in music
We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music)
Feel so alive (Feel)
I quit (I quit) my 9 to 5 (Yeah)
We're lost in music
The song 'Lost in Music' by Maulisé celebrates the liberating and therapeutic role of music in our lives. It talks about the power of music to take us away from the mundane and the responsibilities of our daily lives and transport us to a different world where we feel free, alive, and lost in the rhythm of the melody. The lyrics are an anthem for those who have chosen music as their calling, and for whom it has become their salvation, their hope, and their raison d'être. The opening lines, "We're lost in music, Caught in a trap, No turning back," set the tone for the song as it speaks of the irresistible allure of music that engulfs us and holds us captive.
The second verse of the song highlights the sacrifices some people make to pursue their musical passion, even if it means giving up the security of a job or losing everything. The lyrics, "Responsibility To me is a tragedy, I'll get a job some other time," reflect the challenges and difficulties faced by musicians who often have to make hard choices between financial stability and personal happiness. The chorus of the song is a repetition of the first verse and reinforces the central theme of the song of being lost in music and not wanting to return to the monotony of everyday life.
