Hypnotized
Metal Church Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't find me, in my bed right off the bat
'Cause I've been working, all night long for centuries
Bloody Mary, the drink of choice for those who dabble
In the nightlife, a well dressed beast with savoir-faire

Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near
You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear
When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized

I'm in the shadows, don't cross my path or stake my claim,
'Cause you'll fall victim, and you will not be seen again
Holy water, no thirst can make me drink it
My cup runs over, the crimson liquid that I need

Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near
You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear
When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized

Prince of Darkness, just the thought of daylight sends me
Into hiding, waiting for the night to come

Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near
You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear

When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized




When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized
You're hypnotized

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Metal Church's song "Hypnotized" paint a picture of a nocturnal creature, one who has been working for centuries and thrives in the nightlife. The singer describes themselves as a well-dressed beast, almost like a vampire, who craves a certain type of person. They warn not to cross their path or stake their claim, for those who fall victim to them are never seen again. The singer is not interested in holy water, for their thirst is quenched only by the crimson liquid they need.


The chorus of the song repeats the words "Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near, you are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear" with a sense of urgency, almost as if the singer cannot control their instincts. They warn that once you begin to realize you are in their presence, it is too late, for they have already hypnotized you.


The song's bridge mentions the "Prince of Darkness" and how the thought of daylight sends them into hiding, waiting for the night to come. It adds to the eerie and mysterious tone of the song, creating a sense of danger and unease.


Overall, "Hypnotized" depicts a creature of the night who preys on a certain type of person and possesses a hypnotizing power over them.

This song kicks ass. Definitely a little bit of Dave Mustaine influence going on in this too :) Metal Church is the single most underrated band in history.... they were just too ahead of their time.
