Spellbound
V-3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a place
Where no one could do you harm
I found a place
Where broken things can be fixed
And I've been corrupted
Hangin' by a thread
I got blindsided
'Cause your sex is so good tonight
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
I know a place
Where right and wrong are just words
And love drugs keep you sober
They are maps to the stars
Happiness, beautifully true
Is bright and raw and wild
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
Well I know that someone called you out
But he's not waiting for you
I know you'd like to reach me here
Well, you should, you see you should
So take your bags and leave your shoes
Please stop crying
Right here, right now
I see your freedom
I see your freedom
Well I just see your freedom
Walking away
It's sugar down my bloodstream
A pale blue morning turned tangerine
It's enough to make curtains fall
'Cause now I'm spellbound
Right now I'm spellbound




Now I'm spellbound
Now I'm spellbound

Overall Meaning

In "Spellbound," the singer reflects on finding a place where broken things can be fixed and where no one can hurt them. However, they also confess that they have been corrupted and are barely holding on. They then reminisce about the pleasures of the night before, which have left them spellbound. The following stanza talks about a place where right and wrong are just words, and love drugs keep you sober. The language here is almost paradoxical, as it seems contradictory at first read, but upon closer inspection, it might be seen as emphasizing the enchantment of love with its power to transform one's perspective. The song's climax comes through in the third verse, where the singer addresses a person who is leaving and pleads for them to stop crying. They offer encouragement by acknowledging the other's freedom and that they see it walking away.


Overall, "Spellbound" is a poignant reflection on the concept of escape and addiction, particularly regarding a romantic partner. The song portrays the temptation of living in an alternate universe, one without language, blame, or moral codes. The lyrics also suggest that justin words can be powerful enough to create a spell, one that can both entrap and liberate.

This has got to be the most underrated song of all time. Two and a half years later, I'm still in shock over how much this was slept on, honestly.
