Misty
Misty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No crickets, no creatures are a stirring
On the last night of the Chinese year
I need a warm hand over the water
Ever since I lost mine (fireworks disaster)

Now ? quite awake
Gonna take my life
Gonna take my life back one day

Now I'm watching you changing the mirror
And I'm unable to move
When all my girlfriends appear in the doorway
I don't know how they got here
I don't know what to say about this

And they all go that way




Gonna take my life
Gonna take my life back one day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Misty's song "Misty" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a reflection on loss and the desire to take control of one's life. The first verse references the last night of the Chinese year, which could symbolize the end of a cycle or a time of reflection. The line "I need a warm hand over the water" suggests a longing for comfort or guidance, especially since the singer has lost someone close to them in a fireworks disaster. The lack of activity around them could also represent a sense of desolation or loneliness.


The second verse shifts to a more immediate situation where the singer is watching someone change in the mirror, but they feel stuck and unable to move. This could symbolize feeling trapped or immobilized by a difficult circumstance or emotion. When the singer's friends suddenly appear, they are at a loss for words, unable to process the sudden change or understand how they got there. The repetition of "Gonna take my life back one day" suggests a determination to regain control and agency in their life.


Overall, "Misty" is a complex and atmospheric song that captures a sense of longing and introspection. The lyrics leave much open to interpretation, but the emotions they convey are universal and relatable.

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty whenever you're near
You can't see that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty and too much in love
Too misty and too much in love
Look at me

Look at me, 
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.

Can't you see that you're leading me on? 
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly
I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.

Too misty,
And too much
In love

Ella Fitzgerald is just perfection. How lucky we were to have her amazing voice in our time. She was unique.

@thegreatSnowMcCall

Truly....Ms Ella deserves to be forever imprinted in our hearts and ears! I believe she had such a huge influence on my affinity for great music!!!! First time I remember hearing her I was 3 years old. Here I came here today!

@_Snix

Yes I totally agree and if you want more I strongly recommend you check out Samara Joy. She is like the reincarnation of Ella Fitzgerald in our current generation. She covers a very wide range of jazz just like Ella she’s honestly underrated

My grandma recently passed away and my grandfather told me how this was the song they fell in love over. I decided to look it up and it's completely beautiful...
