Mystery Land
Y Traxx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was almost swept away
I could hardly breathe the same
All your wildest dreams
They will set you free

When you follow me today
To a secret-only place
Surreal in your eyes
We've found paradise

And I'm feelin'
And I'm seein'
Believin', we can find it if we run
To a place that we've been long

ah... oh...
ah... oh...

I will lead you to
I will walk you through
Just to be with you
In Mystery land

ah... oh...
Mystery land
ah...
Just to be with you...
ah...
Mystery land
Mystery land
ah...
Just to be with you...
ah...
Mystery land
Mystery land

I was almost swept away
I could hardly breathe the same
All your wildest dreams
Whey will set you free

When you follow me today
To a secret-only place
Surreal in your eyes
We've found paradise

And I'm feelin'
And I'm seein'
Believin', we can find it if we run
To a place that we've been long

I will lead you to
I will walk you through
Just to be with you
In Mystery land

ah... oh...
Mystery land
ah...
Just to be with you...
ah...
Mystery land
Mystery land
ah...
Just to be with you...
ah...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Y Traxx's Mystery Land express the desire for escape from everyday life to a fantastical place where one can be free. The verses describe the singer's own experience of being almost swept away and the difficulty of breathing while living a mundane life. The chorus is an invitation to follow the singer to "Mystery Land," an undisclosed place that is both surreal and paradisiacal. The repetition of "ah... oh..." throughout the song serves as a hypnotic and trance-inducing agent, emphasizing the dreamlike atmosphere of the lyrics.


The song's theme echoes the human yearning for transcendence from quotidian concerns and limitations. The idea of an idyllic land is not unique to this song, but the lyrical simplicity and catchy melody make it appealing to listeners who crave an escape. Moreover, the repetition of the chorus can elicit a feeling of unity and a shared desire for a better reality.

I've been searching for this track for 22 years. I'm getting all choked up. It's still as perfect as how I remembered it when I was 17.
