Wrapped Around Your Finger
Mig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master

You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger




You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger

Overall Meaning

The song “Wrapped Around Your Finger” by Mig Ayesa is a cover of The Police’s original song. The lyrics of the song describe a relationship between two people where one is willing to do anything to please the other, even if it means being completely controlled by them. The opening lines, “You consider me the young apprentice, caught between the Scylla and Charybdis” show that the singer is seen as a student of sorts, caught between two difficult choices, much like Scylla and Charybdis in Greek mythology. The following lines, “Hypnotized by you if I should linger, staring at the ring around your finger” further drive the point that the singer is completely under the spell of the other person.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer is seeking knowledge and enlightenment from the other person, as they are not able to learn these things in college. They are willing to listen hard and learn from this person in order to achieve their goals. However, it becomes clear that the other person has ulterior motives and is using them for their own benefit, which is highlighted in the line “I know what you're up to just the same.” Despite this, the singer remains captivated by this person, willing to do anything to please them, even if it means sacrificing their own goals and desires.


Overall, the lyrics of “Wrapped Around Your Finger” describe a relationship that is unbalanced and unequal, with one person completely under the control of the other. The song highlights the dangers of being too absorbed in a relationship and losing oneself in the process.


Line by Line Meaning

You consider me the young apprentice
You see me as someone with much to learn, still naive and inexperienced


Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
In a difficult situation where there are two equally unpleasant options


Hypnotized by you if I should linger
I'm entranced by you and staying in your presence only intensifies this feeling


Staring at the ring around your finger
I'm fixated on the physical representation of your marital status


I have only come here seeking knowledge
My main purpose for being here is to gain insight and information


Things they would not teach me of in college
The knowledge I seek isn't taught in formal education settings


I can see the destiny you sold
I can recognize the path that you've set out for me


Turned into a shining band of gold
It's become a captivating and alluring path that I'm drawn towards


I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'm willing to be fully under your control and influence


Mephistopheles is not your name
You're not actually the devil, but have a similar level of power and manipulation


I know what you're up to just the same
I'm aware of your intentions and methods even though you try to hide them


I will listen hard to your tuition
I'll pay close attention to the knowledge and guidance you provide


You will see it come to its fruition
You'll witness the results of my learning and transformation under your influence


Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
I'm leaving behind a very challenging and dangerous situation


Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I'll disappear and be impossible to locate


I will turn your face to alabaster
I'll shock and intimidate you with my power and control


When you will find your servant is your master
You'll realize that I've become stronger and more in control than you ever anticipated


You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll find yourself under my complete control, just as I was under yours before


You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll continue to be under my influence and power indefinitely


You'll be wrapped around my finger
You're no longer in control, but instead at my mercy
