Muddy Waters & B.B.King 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
The lyrics of Muddy Waters and B.B. King's song "Thrill Is Gone" speak of the pain that comes with the end of a relationship. It is a song that captures the emotions of a man who has been wronged by the woman he loves. The "thrill" that once existed in their relationship is now gone, and he is left feeling isolated and alone. He knows that he has been hurt, but he also knows that he will one day be able to move on from the pain she has caused him.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the emotional distress that the singer is going through. With each repetition of "the thrill is gone," the listener is pushed deeper into the emotional landscape of the song. The singer is clearly struggling to come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over, and he knows that he will be lonely without her.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has come to terms with the end of the relationship. He is no longer under her spell, and he is free from the pain that she has caused him. Despite the hurt that he has experienced, he wishes her well and acknowledges that he will eventually move on to find happiness elsewhere.
