Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never felt that they would go and now leave you in the dark
You told me that you needed me and I showed you I'd be there
But Now you've got me wrapped up in this crazy love affair
See lately Ive been thinking about he things you do to me
How we been through all this ups and downs and I was to blind to see
But now my visions better and I'm writing you this letter
It's hard enough those days these are games that we play
There's one thing I want you to know now before I pack my bags and go
Girl you got it all wrong got it all wrong got it all twisted baby
I gave you everything even gave you my ring
For better or for worse baby gave you my name
Get through every season summer winter spring and fall
And one thing you can say is I was with you through it all
Ill miss your touch, ill miss your ways these games with love that we can't play
I've gotta walk away I've gotta leave so I can find my way to still believe
Cause I love you to much and there's no love with no trust
Theres one thing I want you to know now before I pack my bags and go
Girl you got it all wrong got it all wrong got it all twisted baby
One thing I want you to know now before I pack my bags and go down
Girl you got it all wrong got it all wrong got it all twisted baby
Lethal injection, bitter sweet affection
All in the wrong direction but we had our connection
Try not to be affected oh but I guess I was
Now I know what my momma meant when she told me bout love
Take your time don't rush in get to close and you'll get burned
Now Ive got a heart ache, you live you learn
Thought that I was cheated but baby not this time
But baby not this time it s just your insecurities your messing with your mind
[Repeat: x2]
Your driving me away & there's nothing left to say
There's one thing I want you to know now before I pack my bags and go down
Girl you got it all wrong got it all wrong got it all twisted baby
Got to go now
[Repeat: x2]
Talk about the walk away baby its about that time
Packing up everything I own taking everything gotta go now baby
In Santana's song "Twisted," the artist explores the pain and turmoil of a failed love affair. The lyrics highlight the betrayal and heartache that comes with realizing that you were wrong about someone you loved. The lines "Woke up this morning with this pain inside my heart / Never felt that they would go and now leave you in the dark" set a melancholic tone for the rest of the song. The singer laments the fact that they were unable to see the truth sooner and that they were blinded by love. They speak of their attempts to make things work and to be there for their partner, but it was all in vain. Now, the singer must leave this relationship for the sake of their own well-being. The conclusion is that the partner had it all wrong and had twisted ideas about their relationship. The lyrics' emotional depth is accentuated by the slow, steady pace of the music, which is dripping with melancholic riffs.
The song is a testament to Santana's outstanding guitar skills. His mastery of the guitar and the skill it took to craft such a compelling solo that complements the song is truly impressive. Santana's guitar solo, which is fittingly placed after the second chorus, reinforces the mood in the song. Without any lyrics or the need for words, the guitar itself conveys a range of emotions that resonate with the kind of turmoil that the song explores.
"Twisted" is a song that can resonate with many people who have been through complicated love relationships. The lyrics offer a mature view of the complexities of love and the persistence it takes to overcome heartbreak. In essence, "Twisted" is an anthem of hope for the brokenhearted who are rising up from the ashes of a failed relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Woke up this morning with this pain inside my heart
Starting the day with an emotional pain that's been hidden for too long
Never felt that they would go and now leave you in the dark
Feeling abandoned and left in the dark after believing they would always be there
You told me that you needed me and I showed you I'd be there
Promising to be there for someone who needed help
But Now you've got me wrapped up in this crazy love affair
Feeling trapped in an intense love affair that's difficult to escape
See lately Ive been thinking about he things you do to me
Reflecting on the actions and behavior of the other person
How we been through all this ups and downs and I was to blind to see
Realizing that there were ups and downs in the relationship but not seeing them before
But now my visions better and I'm writing you this letter
Having clarity in the present moment to express feelings in a letter
By the time you get home Ill be gone and my life will be much better
Leaving after writing the letter, moving on to a better life
It's hard enough those days these are games that we play
Facing hardships and struggles in daily life and the relationship
There's one thing I want you to know now before I pack my bags and go
Expressing an important message before leaving
Girl you got it all wrong got it all wrong got it all twisted baby
The other person is mistaken and doesn't understand the situation
I gave you everything even gave you my ring
Offering everything, including a symbol of commitment, to the other person
For better or for worse baby gave you my name
Committing to the relationship, good or bad, by sharing a last name
Get through every season summer winter spring and fall
Going through every season together, through all the changes
And one thing you can say is I was with you through it all
Being there through everything that happens, showing loyalty
Ill miss your touch, ill miss your ways these games with love that we can’t play
Missing the intimate moments and the love games that can't be played anymore
I've gotta walk away I've gotta leave so I can find my way to still believe
Leaving to find oneself and regain belief in love
Cause I love you to much and there's no love with no trust
Love without trust is not enough
Lethal injection, bitter sweet affection
Emphasizing how becoming addicted to love can be dangerous and bitter sweet
All in the wrong direction but we had our connection
Realizing that the relationship was going in the wrong direction, but that there was still a connection
Try not to be affected oh but I guess I was
Trying not to be emotional or affected by the situation, but ultimately failing to do so
Now I know what my momma meant when she told me bout love
Understanding what love really means, learning from a parent
Take your time don't rush in get to close and you'll get burned
Taking time with love, not rushing in too quickly or too close, to avoid getting hurt
Now Ive got a heart ache, you live you learn
Experiencing the emotional pain of heartache, as part of the learning process
Thought that I was cheated but baby not this time
Not feeling cheated this time, but something else is disturbing the trust
But baby not this time it s just your insecurities your messing with your mind
The issue with trust is not an infidelity issue, but rather insecurities creating doubts
Your driving me away & there's nothing left to say
Feeling that the other person is pushing away, and there's no more words to say
Talk about the walk away baby its about that time
Discussing leaving and it's time to walk away
Packing up everything I own taking everything gotta go now baby
Packing up everything, leaving nothing behind, and moving on
