Lyrics
Very superstitious, writing on the wall
Cautioning about superstitions, warning signs are present
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Being wary of superstitions, anticipating potential misfortune
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Unlucky incident involving a thirteen-month-old breaking a mirror
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
Consequence of breaking a mirror: seven years of bad luck, contrasting with prior good experiences
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Advising against belief in incomprehensible things
Then you suffer
Consequence of believing in unexplained things: suffering
Superstition ain't the way
Rejecting superstition as a guiding principle
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
More superstition advice: ritualistic actions to avoid problems
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Seeking solutions to issues, taking all possible actions
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
Desire to stay in a positive, dreamlike state, striving for strength
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
Expressing vulnerability and the reluctance to be saved, portraying a sad narrative
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Reiteration of the consequences of believing in the unknown
Then you suffer
Reiterating the suffering resulting from superstition
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh
Emphasizing that superstition is not the right path
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Stressing the point that superstition has nothing more to offer
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Warning about an impending negative force (the devil) related to superstition
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Repetition of an unlucky incident involving a thirteen-month-old and a broken mirror
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
Reiteration of the consequences of breaking a mirror, emphasizing contrast with prior positive experiences
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Reiteration of the caution against belief in incomprehensible things
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
Reiterating the suffering caused by superstition, emphasizing it's not the right way
