Hypnotise
Polarheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're slippin' away
Into black
Our song
Is startin' to play
And you look back
Heart's dont fly like a bird now
Please don't say you deliver
When you can't keep me forever
I don't know what else to say
I'd give a thousand deaths
If I could find a way to hypnotise you
I don't know what else to say
You never give you take
Still tryin' to find a way to hypnotise you
Dark days
Are sinking the ship
Holding on
Heaven
To be so close but
Just out of my reach
I don't know what else to say
I'd give a thousand deaths
If I could find a way to hypnotise you
I don't know what else to say
You never give you take
Still tryin' to find a way to hypnotise you
You
I'll hypnotise
You
You're devil eyes
Won't fool me twice
I'll hypnotise
I'll hypnotise you.
I don't know what else to say
I'd give a thousand deaths
If I could find a way to hypnotise you
I don't know what else to say
You never give you take
Still tryin' to find a way to hypnotise you
I don't know what else to say
I'd give a thousand deaths
If I could find a way to hypnotise you
I don't know what else to say
You never give you take
Still tryin' to find a way to hypnotise you
In Polarheart's song "Hypnotise," the singer is grappling with the intense desire to keep someone close to them, someone who seems to be slipping away. The imagery of slipping away into black suggests a feeling of being lost or disappearing, and the urgency of the situation is underscored by the repetition of "I don't know what else to say." The singer seems to be willing to do anything to keep this person close, suggesting they would give "a thousand deaths" just to find a way to hypnotize them and keep them under their spell.
The lyrics go on to suggest that the other person is not reciprocating this desire to stay close, as they are characterized as someone who "never gives, only takes." The metaphor of sinking ships and heaven just out of reach paint a picture of a relationship that is failing despite the singer's attempts to hold on. The repeated refrain of "I'll hypnotize you" suggests a last-ditch effort to keep this person close, even in the face of what seems to be an inevitable loss.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hypnotize" paint a picture of intense desire and desperation in the face of a fading relationship. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to keep this person close, even if it means resorting to hypnotism. But despite their efforts, they seem to be losing this person, and are left grappling with the pain and emptiness of that loss.

Hold on
Hold on tight, don't let go
You're slippin' away
You are drifting farther and farther away
Into black
Into the darkness, away from the light
Our song
The song that defines us
Is startin' to play
It is beginning, setting the mood
And you look back
You glance over your shoulder at me
Heart's dont fly like a bird now
I can't seem to keep the feeling of love high and soaring like a bird
Feel the flame pick a room now
The passion is present and alive, filling up the entire space
Please don't say you deliver
Don't make empty promises
When you can't keep me forever
When you know you can't hold on to me forever
I don't know what else to say
I have nothing else to express or convey
I'd give a thousand deaths
I would go through hell and back multiple times, die a thousand times over
If I could find a way to hypnotise you
If only I could entrance you, make you unable to resist me
You never give you take
You never contribute, you only take from me
Still tryin' to find a way to hypnotise you
I am still searching and struggling to make you mine
Dark days
Difficult times
Are sinking the ship
Dragging us down, causing the relationship to fail
Holding on
Trying to keep the bond strong
Heaven
The dream-like state of euphoria when we were together
To be so close but
To be in touching distance, but
Just out of my reach
Unable to grasp, just beyond my fingertips
You
Referring to the person being addressed
I'll hypnotise
I will make you mine, under my control
You're devil eyes
Your gaze is intense and dangerous
Won't fool me twice
I won't allow myself to be fooled again
I'll hypnotise you.
I will cast a spell on you, make you want me
