Misty
Will Hedgecock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty, holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love
I'm too misty, and too much in love
"Misty" is a beautiful love song that talks about the feeling of being lost in love. The first verse of the song states how helpless the person feels as they are holding the one they love's hand. They feel like they are clinging to a cloud and cannot understand the feeling they are having. The second verse mentions how the person feels when they walk towards the one they love. The sound of the violins or their hello makes them feel like they are in a beautiful dream.

The chorus portrays how the person feels hopelessly lost in love as they are following the one they love. They are too much in love and too misty to see anything else.
The third verse symbolizes that the person cannot imagine being in this wonderland called love without the one they love. They would feel lost and unable to distinguish their right foot from their left, their hat from their glove. They get misty when they are too much in love.
Overall, "Misty" is a beautifully written song that captures the feeling of being lost in love and how it makes one feel dizzy and hazy, like they are misty.
Line by Line Meaning
Look at me
I want your attention and recognition
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
I feel vulnerable and incapable of finding my way
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I'm on a high that I'm not able to understand
I can't understand
I'm unable to comprehend what's happening
I get misty, holding your hand
Being close to you makes me feel emotional and overwhelmed
Walk my way
I'm requesting you to come closer to me
And a thousand violins begin to play
Metaphorically, I feel like I'm surrounded by symphony of love
Or it might be the sound of your hello
Just the mere mention of your voice has a profound effect on me
That music I hear
When I'm around you, everything seems to be perfect and musical
I get misty the moment you're near
The presence of you makes me feel overwhelmed and emotional
You can say that you're leading me on
I recognize that you might not be committed, but I still want to follow you
But it's just what I want you to do
I'm okay with pursuing you even if it doesn't lead to anything serious
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
I'm hopelessly in love with you
That's why I'm following you
I can't help but follow and pursue you because of how much I love you
On my own
Without you, I feel alone and lost
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Without you it would be impossible to enjoy this beautiful world
Never knowing my right foot from my left
Without your guidance, I would be lost and directionless
My hat from my glove
Without you, I can't even differentiate between my own clothing items
I get misty, and too much in love
I'm too emotional and too deeply in love with you
