Misty
Stphane Grappelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love
I'm too misty, and too much in love
The song Misty by Stphane Grappelli is about the overwhelming feeling of love and how it can leave one feeling vulnerable and unsure. The first verse begins with the singer admitting their helplessness, comparing themselves to a kitten stuck in a tree. They describe the sensation of being on a cloud and not quite understanding the intense emotions they're experiencing. The second verse continues with the singer describing how they feel when the person they love is near them. They use the metaphor of violins playing to represent the love they feel. The chorus speaks to the singer's feelings of being lost in their love, following the object of their affection blindly, and being unable to control their emotions. The final line, "I'm too misty, and too much in love," underscores the magnitude of the singer's feelings.
Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the all-consuming nature of love, where the singer is caught up in their feelings and unable to resist them. The lyrics are made even more powerful by the use of musical metaphors, highlighting the emotional depths that love can reach.

Look at me
I want you to look at me, pay attention to me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
I feel lost and powerless, like a small and vulnerable creature in danger
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
It's hard for me to stay grounded and understand what's happening, like I'm floating in the air
I can't understand
I'm confused and unsure of what's going on
I get misty, holding your hand
Being near you and holding your hand creates a strong emotional response in me, making me feel overpowered by my feelings
Walk my way
I want you to walk towards me, come closer to me
And a thousand violins begin to play
Being near you creates a magical and enchanting feeling, like there's beautiful music playing all around me
Or it might be the sound of your hello
Hearing your voice is so sweet and lovely, it's like hearing beautiful music
That music I hear
You create a beautiful and entrancing sound, like music to my ears
I get misty the moment you're near
Being near you creates a strong emotional response in me, making me feel overpowered by my feelings
You can say that you're leading me on
You might be leading me on or playing games, but I enjoy it and want you to continue
But it's just what I want you to do
I enjoy the attention and affection, even if it might not be genuine
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
I'm completely lost and infatuated with you, but you might not realize how much I'm caught up in my feelings
That's why I'm following you
I'm so in love and infatuated with you that I'll follow you anywhere
On my own
Without you, I'm alone and lost in my thoughts
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Without you, I wouldn't find as much beauty and wonder in the world
Never knowing my right foot from my left
Without you, I'm lost and confused, unable to find my way in life
My hat from my glove
Without you, I'm unable to keep track of small and simple things in life
I get misty, and too much in love
Being near you creates a strong emotional response in me, making me feel overpowered by my feelings, so much that I feel too much in love
