Black Magic
Muzzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't second guess
Don't second guess yourself,
you can't win this time
You say it's not your fault,
but you just can't deny
I can see it in your face when you tell a lie
And now you change your story,
you try to say we are the same
And you can keep on dreaming
but I won't fall for these games
Don't try to hold this up
when it is falling in front of you
You act in desperation
yet claim you've got nothing to lose
(You're coming back with me)
Don't second guess yourself,
you can't win this time
Like all the times before,
I've got to draw the line
You say it's not your fault,
but you just can't deny
I can see it in your face when you tell a lie
As the tension builds inside,
You realise you've got no place to hide
You try to leave,
you want to run and fight another day




You think that I can't stop you
but you're coming back with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Muzzy & Day One's "Black Magic" are about someone who is trying to deceive the person they are in a relationship with, and about the other person calling them out on their lies. The first verse describes the person as trying to change their story and pretending that they and the other person are the same, but the other person sees through their lies. The chorus, which repeats twice throughout the song, tells the person not to second guess themselves and that they can't win this time.


The second verse describes the tension building between the two people, and the person who is lying trying to escape and run away. But the singer tells them that they're not going to let them go and that they're coming back with them. The song is about not letting someone get away with lying or trying to deceive you, and standing up for yourself when you realize they're not being honest. It's an empowering message about not doubting yourself and your instincts.


Overall, "Black Magic" is a powerful and emotive song about honesty, trust, and standing up for oneself. It urges the listener to be confident and not let anyone manipulate or deceive them.

Guys, please remember to credit Day One. We both worked on this as a team. If it wasn't for Day One there wouldn't be this track, and we are both really excited about this. It's such a shame to see you arguing, we'd love to hear feedback and constructive criticism from you guys. Thank you very much, keep loving. <3
