The Spell
The Black Heart Procession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the venom was smooth,so I didn't mind a thing
As I moved the strings were held there by you
something then told me that I had no escape
So,please forgive me for this spell I am under
As the years passed by,I tried to work out the clues
and in this maze at every turn you stood in my way
so I left a disguise in my place
So,please forgive me for this spell I am under
I lose myself in this spell I am under
I feel your spell on me...
We're held by your gaze,lost in a state
a potion of delusion,something is brewing
the poison is blinding
the streets are all winding
the clocks lose their timing
Your spell on me has no cure
So,please forgive me for this spell I am under
I lose myself in this spell I am under
I feel your spell on me...."
The Black Heart Procession's song "The Spell" describes the singer's experience of falling under the spell of someone and being unable to break free from it. The opening lines, "Captured by you and slowly pulled into your web/The venom was smooth, so I didn't mind a thing" suggest that the person could have been aware of the potential dangers of getting too involved with this individual, yet they couldn't resist. As the song progresses, the singer speaks of trying to free themselves by "work[ing] out the clues" and even leaving a "disguise in my place." However, they still find themselves unable to resist the spell and become "held by your gaze, lost in a state."
This song explores themes of being entranced by someone or something, losing control, and feeling trapped by circumstances. The lyrics are poetic and vividly depict the emotions the singer is experiencing. The repetition of "please forgive me for this spell I am under" throughout the song conveys a sense of helplessness and desperation to be free. The chorus's melody is haunting, adding to the sense of being powerless.
