Mystified
The Black Sorrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rumours are flyin'
Worlds can collide
Without even tryin'
You left me high and dry
A flood of emotion
Promised me everything
Cried you an ocean
You keep me so mystified
Magic still alive and well
You keep me so mystified
Can't seem to break the spell
Heart beat through the night
Full moon's prowlin'
Your voice in the wind
Demons are howlin'
Lost in the wilderness
Seeds of obsession
Harvest of emptiness
Soul in possession
The song Mystified by The Black Sorrows is about the emotional turmoil and confusion caused by a relationship that has ended suddenly. The first verse talks about how bad news and rumors can spread quickly, and how the end of a relationship can feel like a collision of worlds. The line "You left me high and dry, a flood of emotion" speaks to the feeling of being abandoned and overwhelmed with intense feelings. The next line "Promised me everything, cried you an ocean" suggests that the relationship ended because of broken promises or lies.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "You keep me so mystified" which suggests that the singer is still confused and unsure about what happened in the relationship. The next line "Magic still alive and well" suggests that there was something special or unique about the relationship that is hard to explain. The chorus concludes with "Can't seem to break the spell" which indicates that the singer is still under the influence of the relationship and finding it hard to move on.
The second verse describes the singer's state of mind after the breakup. The line "Heart beats through the night, full moon's prowling" suggests that they are feeling restless and anxious. The next line "Your voice in the wind, demons are howling" implies that they are haunted by memories and struggling to let go. The last two lines "Lost in the wilderness, seeds of obsession, harvest of emptiness, soul in possession" suggest that the singer is experiencing a deep sense of isolation and emptiness.
