Wrapped Up
Natalie Portman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I've got no one to show me the way
Please, I will follow
'Cause you're my last hope, I'll do anything you say
And I tried it my way
Epic fails save me from myself
So, bite my hands now
Shut my mouth down I will listen, listen well
So teach me
Show me all you've got
And in your words, I will be wrapped up
Speak to me
You're my last hope
And I will say nothing and listen to your love
And I'm so lucky to be with you
Keeping me from my shadow, woah
I know I would have been torn to shreds
But all the people in my head
I, I let one tear fall
And I crumble like the Berlin Wall
Oh, hear something's broken
Zip me open, unlock the damaged door
So teach me
Show me all you've got
And in your words, I will be wrapped up
Speak to me
You're my last hope
And I will say nothing and listen to your love
But I never shattered long enough to hear you
And you never heard me by shutting me down
But look at what I mean, mean, mean
Zip it up now
I will not speak, I will not speak
You shut me, oh
So teach me
Show me all you've got
And in your words, I will be wrapped up
Speak to me
You're my last hope
And I will say nothing and listen to your love
And I'm so lucky to be with you
Keeping me from my shadow, woah
I know I would have been torn to shreds
But all the people in my head
The lyrics of Natalie Portman's "Wrapped Up" speak of her need for guidance and support. She is lost and in the dark, but she knows that there is someone who can help her find her way. She begs this person to show her the right path, to lead her in the right direction. Portman admits that she has made mistakes in the past, but she is willing to learn from them and follow the advice of her guide. She is willing to let go of her pride and ego, and listen to the wisdom and love of this person.
The chorus of the song emphasizes Portman's desperation and her willingness to be vulnerable. She wants to be "wrapped up" in the words and guidance of her guide, to be protected and taken care of. She recognizes that this person is her last hope, and she clings to their love and support.
The bridge of the song speaks of Portman's past struggles with communication. She admits that she has kept her pain and emotions inside, and that her guide has shut her down in the past. But she is determined to change this dynamic and be receptive to their love and guidance.
Overall, "Wrapped Up" is a powerful and emotional song about the need for guidance and support in times of struggle. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and vulnerable, and the transformative power of love and wisdom.

Hey, turn the light on
I need guidance to find my way
'Cause I've got no one to show me the way
I'm lost and need someone to guide me
Please, I will follow
I'm willing to be led
'Cause you're my last hope, I'll do anything you say
I have no other options and will obediently do as told
And I tried it my way
I attempted to figure things out on my own
Epic fails save me from myself
Massive mistakes kept me from causing further harm
So, bite my hands now
I'm surrendering control
Shut my mouth down I will listen, listen well
I'll remain quiet and pay attention to your guidance
And in your words, I will be wrapped up
Your teachings will consume and envelop me
Speak to me
Communicate with me
You're my last hope
You're my only chance
And I will say nothing and listen to your love
I'll be silent and receive your affection
But all the people in my head
Inner thoughts and doubts
I, I let one tear fall
I'm emotional and vulnerable
And I crumble like the Berlin Wall
I fall apart easily
Zip me open, unlock the damaged door
Help me heal and overcome my problems
But look at what I mean, mean, mean
Consider my true intentions
Zip it up now
Stop talking and listen
I will not speak, I will not speak
I'll remain quiet
You shut me, oh
You silenced me before
Keeping me from my shadow, woah
You're preventing me from falling into darkness
I know I would have been torn to shreds
I would have been destroyed without your help
And all the people in my head
My inner thoughts and doubts
