Hypnotized
Unraveling Fantasies: Fleetwood Mac's Hypnotic Journey
Lyrics
It's the same kind of story
Introducing a familiar narrative
That seems to come down from long ago
Referring to a recurring theme from the past
Two friends having coffee together
Two friends casually enjoying coffee
When something flies by their window
An unexpected event outside the window catches their attention
It might be out on that lawn
Suggesting a possibility on the lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Describing the wide expanse, akin to a playing field
Because there's no explaining what your imagination
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of imagination
Can make you see and feel
The power of imagination to shape perceptions
Seems like a dream
Comparing the situation to a dreamlike experience
They got me hypnotized
Expressing being captivated or entranced
Now it's not a meaningless question
Shifting focus to a meaningful inquiry
To ask if they've been and gone
Questioning the presence or absence of certain experiences
I remember a talk about North Carolina
Recalling a conversation about North Carolina
And a strange, strange pond
Describing a peculiar pond in the memory
You see the sides were like glass
Depicting the pond's sides resembling glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
Placing the pond in a dense, roadless forest
And if any man's hand ever made that land
Suggesting the impact of human touch on nature
Then I think it would've showed
Speculating on whether the creator's touch would be evident
That's why it seems like a dream
Reiterating the dreamlike quality of the experience
Got me hypnotized
Emphasizing the mesmerizing effect on the speaker
And I know that's right
Asserting the correctness of the feeling
Seems like a dream
Repeating the comparison to a dreamlike state
They got me hypnotized
Reiterating the speaker's hypnotic state
They say there's a place down in Mexico
Introducing a mythical place in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
Describing the fantastical ability to fly without technology
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine
Stating the perpetual nature of this flying ability
And he never will
Emphasizing the impossibility of losing this ability
Now you know it's a meaningless question
Declaring the futility of questioning the stories
To ask if those stories are right
Shifting focus to the importance of the emotional experience
'Cause what matters most is the feeling
Emphasizing the primacy of the hypnotic feeling
You get when you're hypnotized
Stating the essence of the hypnotic experience
Seems like a dream
Reiterating the dreamlike quality
They got me hypnotized
Reaffirming the speaker's hypnotic state
Seems like a dream
Continuing the dreamlike metaphor
They got me hypnotized
Persisting in describing the hypnotic state
Seems like a dream
Repeating the dreamlike quality
They got me hypnotized
Concluding with the speaker being fully hypnotized
Got me hypnotized
Affirming the depth of the hypnotic experience
