Mystery to Me
Sarah Juers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she say you ain't far
Making home in clouded dreams
But you're invisible in my sleep
Tryna get some vision
Tryna stay content and
Not pay much attention but
I want to know, know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, i
Want to know, know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know, know, know,know
Want to know, know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
Woah
If you're real
If you're real
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
I'm waiting to see
The mystery seen clearly
So Clearly
Good on my own
Ain't lonely when I'm lone
But some nights I'm like Franky singing "solo"
Thinking bout you under moonlight
But gotta use my imagination
Convince myself
That you're real
Oh you're real
And if you are let me tell you
I'm waiting to see
But I ain't in no rush
Ain't desperate
Ain't in no rut
And I don't need no ring
To be complete
Yeah now I see
That when it's real
When it's real
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
I'm waiting to see
The mystery
Begin
The lyrics of Sarah Juers's song "Mystery to Me" speak to the longing for a connection with someone unknown but felt on a subconscious level. The singer recognizes the presence of this person through the words of a friend ("she say you ain't far"), yet the individual remains elusive, only making occasional appearances in the singer's dreams. Despite this, the singer resists getting too caught up in their obsession, trying to stay content and not pay too much attention to their own feelings.
However, the pull of this mystery person is strong, and the singer reveals a desire to uncover their identity ("I want to know, know, know, know, know..."). They acknowledge the possibility that this person may not be real, or may not be what they imagined, but still cannot ignore the feeling that they are waiting for something or someone special. The singer also acknowledges their own independence and the fact that they don't need a relationship to be complete, but nonetheless, they are curious and hopeful about the possibility of this unknown person.
Overall, the song captures the tension between longing and contentment, as the singer tries to strike a balance between recognizing the mystery person's importance while not letting it consume them entirely.

Allow me to inform you
The mystery
The perplexity or enigma
Begin
