Hypnotised
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You threw my bags out through the door,
And in the road.
I came home to find them on the floor,
And as the rain began to pour,
I got cold.
And I tried to compromise,
But you kept telling all these lies,
Goodbye to you been wasting all my time,
Your no longer mine,
And now you've left me I can't seem to get you off my mind.
That's when I realized,
You had me hypnotized (had me hypnotized).
Why am I now living on my own,
She keeps inviting people home,
All the time.
Why am I still paying for her to phone,
When all the luxury's she owns should be mine.
Now I start to wonder why
You shrug me off when I say hi
Treat me so bad despite how hard I try.
Goodbye to you been wasting all my time,
Your no longer mine,
And now you've left me I can't seem to get you off my mind.
That's when I realized,
You had me hypnotized (had me hypnotized).
Girl you can't hold me back no more,
Gonna be the one were writing lyrics for
We had something good together,
Did you think you were big and clever,
To throw me out in awful weather,
How do I forget you now.
Can't get you off my mind,
That's when I realized,
You had me hypnotized (had me hypnotized)
You've been wasting all my time,
Your no longer mine,
And now you've left me I can't seem to get you off my mind.
That's when I realized,
You had me hypnotized!
The lyrics of McFly's "Hypnotised" depict a tumultuous and recurrent relationship where the singer is left heartbroken and bewildered by the actions of his lover. In the first verse, the singer recalls a previous incident where his lover threw his bags out of the door and on the floor, leaving him stranded in the rain. Despite his attempts to reconcile, he is deceived and unable to say his goodbye. The chorus emphasizes the bitterness of the singer and his regret for wasting his time on a past relationship, now haunted by his ex's memory, which had him hypnotized. The second verse continues with the motif of the singer's reflection and realization that his ex was manipulative and unappreciative of his attempts to reconcile.
Overall, the song reveals a sense of hurt, frustration, and a desire to move on from a relationship that never allowed the singer to be his true self. It speaks of overcoming the hurt and manipulation and taking ownership of one's life by not allowing past memories to hold one captive. The lyrics have a universal quality to them, encapsulating the feeling of being trapped in a toxic relationship and the struggle to escape it.
