Everybody's Under Your Spell
The Duke Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things all over but never sent,
I could pin a medal on you
I could pin a medal on you ohh
This memory set
I guess the sound the city gets
Miss you much or would you beg
I could pin a medal on you ohh
Chorus:
Everybody’s under your spell
Everybody’s under your spell
I don’t think you would tell
But everybody’ under your spell
Oh my you give away
Come and visit or come to stay
The way you spoke and the words you say
I could pin a medal on you
I could pin a medal on you ohh
Frail, sexy and I never knew just what it ment
Things are over and I wish I've sensed
I could pin a medal on you
I could pin a medal on you ohh
Chorus:
Everybody’s under your spell
I don’t think you would tell
But everybody’ under your spell
Everybody’s under your spell
Everybody’s under your spell
Everybody’s under your spell
Everybody’s under your spell
I don’t think you would tell
But everybody’s under your spell
The Duke Spirit's "Everybody's Under Your Spell" is a song about feeling vulnerable and seduced by someone's charm and power. The lyrics depict a sense of confusion and ambiguity as the singer is trying to come to terms with their attraction to the person who has cast a spell on everyone around them. The line "Frail, sexy and I never knew just what it meant" suggests that the singer is drawn to this person's vulnerability and sexuality, but they are not entirely sure why. The following lines, "Things all over but never sent, I could pin a medal on you," could be interpreted as a reference to unspoken desires, secrets, or inner conflicts, which are concealed by this person's charm.
The chorus "Everybody's under your spell" is repeated several times, emphasizing the extent to which this person's spell has affected everyone. The repetition of "I don't think you would tell" suggests that this person is aware of their power but is not revealing it. The line "Oh my you give away, come and visit, or come to stay" could be interpreted as a temptation, an invitation to surrender, and fall under their spell. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is both attracted and conflicted by this person's charisma, but they also understand the danger of being under their spell.
