The Thrill Is Gone
Monika Leigh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know a good man should
You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well
Monika Leigh's song "The Thrill Is Gone" is a poignant tale of lost love, betrayal, and heartbreak. The opening lines, "The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away, the thrill is gone baby, the thrill is gone away" set the mood for the rest of the song. It's a story of someone who has been wronged by their lover and is dealing with the fallout of that betrayal. The tone of the lyrics is sad, desolate, and almost mournful.
The singer goes on to say that they will still live on, but they will be lonely. This line conveys a sense of resignation, as if the singer has accepted their fate and knows that they will never be truly happy again. The bridge of the song is especially powerful, with the singer declaring that the thrill is gone for good, but someday they will be open-armed again. This line suggests that the singer is not closing themselves off to love, despite their heartbreak.
The final lines of the song, "You know I'm free, free now baby, I'm free from your spell, oh I'm free, free, free now, I'm free from your spell, and now that it's all over, all I can do is wish you well" are a powerful reminder that even after all the pain and heartache, the singer has moved on and wishes their former lover nothing but happiness. It's a bittersweet ending to a powerful song.
