Ozzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silence broken,
but there's nothing said
I got a nightmare from a fantasy
Will the voices ever set me free
I can hear 'em,
I can hear 'em,
Someone wake me when it's over
I can see 'em
I can see 'em
Over and over again
I saw it happening like deja-vu
They tried to tell me,
But they couldn't get through
In my head I hear the voices scream
I need someone to tell me what it means
I can hear 'em,
I can hear 'em,
Someone wake me when it's over
I can see 'em,
I can see 'em
I can see 'em
Over and over again
Whoa
Who turned off the lights?
Whoa
A shadow in the night
Whoa
It wasn't meant to be
I can't take this alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Oh no I can't take it alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Shattered dreams lay next to broken glass
I wonder if tonight will be my last
I need an angel who will rescue me
To save me from my mental symphony
I can hear 'em,
I can hear 'em,
Someone wake me when it's over
I can see 'em,
I can see 'em
I can see 'em
Over and over again
Whoa
Who turned off the lights?
Whoa
A shadow in the night.
Whoa
It wasn't meant to be
I can't take this alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
Oh no I can't take it alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
In "Sin," Ozzy Osbourne sings about the experience of being haunted by his inner demons, the voices in his head that torment him. The song begins with him describing the twisted and distressed state of his mind, and how he can't escape the nightmares and fantasies that plague him. He hears voices in his head that he longs to be rid of, and he begs for someone to wake him up from the nightmare he is living in. The chorus is a repeat of these lines, symbolizing the cyclical nature of his situation.
As the song progresses, Ozzy becomes more desperate for help, feeling as though he is drowning in his own thoughts. He seems to feel trapped, unable to escape the voices screaming in his head. The imagery of shattered dreams and broken glass suggest that his mental state is a result of past traumas, and his inner turmoil is only exacerbating these already shattered parts of his psyche. As he pleads for an angel to rescue him and save him from his "mental symphony," the chorus repeats again and again, emphasizing the repetitive nature of his struggle.
Overall, "Sin" speaks to the experience of feeling lost and isolated in one's own mind, struggling with mental illness, trauma, or addiction. Ozzy’s lyrics are relatable to anyone who has dealt with intrusive thoughts and the desire to escape from one’s own inner voice.
Line by Line Meaning
A psycho drive twisted in my head
My mind is plagued by a twisted, obsessive and erratic drive
Silence broken, but there's nothing said
Although my mind is unquiet, there is no sense or reason in my thoughts and feelings
I got a nightmare from a fantasy
My desires and imaginings have led to a painful and terrifying situation
Will the voices ever set me free
I am tormented by a chorus of inner voices that I long to be free from
I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em, Someone wake me when it's over
The voices in my head are overwhelming, and I wish for someone to end my torment
I can see 'em, I can see 'em, I can see 'em, Over and over again
The same images and thoughts repeat themselves in my mind endlessly
I saw it happening like deja-vu, They tried to tell me, But they couldn't get through
I sense that I have experienced this before, and those around me have attempted to reach out, but I am still lost
In my head I hear the voices scream, I need someone to tell me what it means
My inner voices are clamoring and causing me pain, and I long for someone to make sense of my situation
Who turned off the lights?
I feel as though I am in the dark, and cannot see or comprehend my surroundings
A shadow in the night
There is a frightening, unknown presence in my mind that haunts me
It wasn't meant to be, I can't take this alone
I feel that my suffering and torment is not natural, and I cannot bear it alone
Don't leave me on my own tonight
I need companionship and comfort, especially in this moment of despair
Shattered dreams lay next to broken glass, I wonder if tonight will be my last
My hopes and aspirations have been destroyed, and I fear that I may not survive this ordeal
I need an angel who will rescue me, To save me from my mental symphony
I am crying out for divine intervention to save me from the cacophony of my mind

This is one of those songs that you didn't get to hear unless you were fortunate enough to own the album
Mephistopheles •
I really wish I was born back then like around the 60s but at the same time I’m so grateful being a modern day metal head. Everything comes easier like listening to these amazing songs or learning great songs on guitar but I’ll always appreciate the good old days and all the og fans. You guys are also very lucky to be alive when these bands were at their peak 🤘

@Mephistopheles • neither was I, but I collect tapes

One day just after I bought this album I caught my old Dad going hard on his exercise bike listening to this on the stereo full blast. So awesome.
