Spell
The Crab Apples Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am attracted to the darkness
I am attracted to you
I am attracted to the darkness, the secrets that stay unknown, its threatening paws, the brightness of its teeth.

I’m like a fly that has lost its direction
I’m like a fly that escapes the light
I’m like a fly that has lost its direction
Give me my direction back

You put a spell on me
I put a spell on you too
You put a spell on me, I put a spell I put a spell on you
You put your spell on me
I put my spell on you too
You put your spell on me
I put a spell, I put a spell on you

We’re all attracted to the darkness
That’s why we stumble around
it doesn’t make sense to look for the easy way if we can just go around
I’m like a fly that has lost its direction
I’m like a fly that escapes the light
I’m like a fly that has lost its direction

You put a spell on me
I put a spell on you too
You put a spell on me, I put a spell I put a spell on you

You put your spell on me
I put a spell on you too
You put your spell on me, I put a spell I put a spell on you

-----

You put a spell on me
I put a spell on you too
You put your spell on me, I put a spell I put a spell on you
You put your spell on me
I put my spell on you too
You put your spell on me, I put a spell I put a spell on you

You put your spell on me
I put my spell on you too
You put your spell on me, You put your spell on me
I put my spell on you too

You put your spell on me
I put a spell, I put a spell on
