Spellbound
Enchanted Transformation: The Mysterious Spell of 'Spellbound' by Katie Melua
Lyrics
I heard that lately
There's been talk about recent changes in you
You've gone through a mysterious change
People mention a mysterious transformation
People say you're secretive
Others perceive you as secretive
And you've been acting strange
Your behavior seems odd to them
They say there's magic afoot stay away they all warn
Rumors suggest something mystical surrounds you, advising caution
But to me you were magical from the day that you were born
Despite the warnings, the speaker sees inherent magic in you since birth
I have become spellbound
The speaker feels captivated
Spellbound
The feeling of being enchanted
You lifted me up high
Your influence or presence elevated the speaker
Now I don't know how to get down
Uncertainty about returning to a previous state after experiencing this elevation
No, I don't know how to get down (down, down)
A repetition emphasizing not knowing how to revert to a previous state
You're very different
Describing your uniqueness
You are so rare
You possess exceptional qualities
Some kind of witchcraft
A metaphorical reference to a mystical presence around you
Is flying through the air
The speaker feels unable to explain their feelings towards you
I'll admit I can't explain why I feel how I do
An acknowledgment of being under your influence
So you must have cast a spell
A suggestion that you might have influenced a change in the speaker's life
That's why my life feels new
Attributing the feeling of a new life to your influence
I have become spellbound
A reaffirmation of feeling enchanted
Spellbound
The continued feeling of being under a spell
You lifted me up high
Describing the elevated state due to your impact
Now I don't know how to get down
Feeling uncertain about returning to a previous state
No, I don't know how to get down
Reiteration of uncertainty about returning to a prior state
I have become spellbound
The sense of being captivated or enchanted continues
Spellbound
Continued feelings of being under a spell or influence
You lifted me up high
Highlighting the elevation due to your influence
Now I don't know how to get down
Still unsure about returning to a previous state
No, I don't know how to get down
Reiteration of uncertainty about reverting to a former state
No, I don't know how to get down
Reiterating uncertainty about returning to a previous state
No, I don't know how to get down
Continued uncertainty about returning to a prior state
