Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
Captivated by Unseen Forces
Lyrics
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Something powerful has taken control of my emotions.
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
It's keeping my soul and senses separated, indicating a profound impact.
Something's gotten into my life
There's a new presence in my life.
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
This presence is cutting through my dreams with intensity.
Turning me up and turning me down
It's causing emotional ups and downs.
Making me smile and making me frown
It's influencing my moods, both positive and negative.
In a world that was worn
Describing a past world that was calm and trouble-free.
I once lived in a time there was peace with no trouble at all
Reflecting on a time of peace.
But then you came my way
The arrival of someone changed the peaceful atmosphere.
And a feeling unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay
An unknown feeling shook the speaker's heart, creating a desire for the person to stay.
All of my nights and all of my days
The impact of this feeling on the speaker's entire existence.
I gotta tell you now
Expressing urgency to communicate.
Something's gotten hold of my hand
The hold has extended to the speaker's hand.
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Dragging the soul into a beautiful but unknown land.
Something has invaded my nights
Nights are affected by an invasion of emotions.
Painting my sleep with a color so bright
Sleep is painted with intense and vivid colors.
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Positive changes in emotions.
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
Symbolic colors representing strong emotions for both the speaker and the other person.
I've got to know if this is the real thing
Expressing a need for clarity about the authenticity of the emotions.
I've got to know what's making my heart sing
Seeking understanding of what is making the heart feel joyful.
Whoa, yeah
Expression of affirmation and excitement.
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
The other person's smile has a profound impact, causing a sense of being lost.
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every moment with the person feels right.
Every hour, every day
The constant impact of the person on the speaker's thoughts.
You touch me and my mind goes astray
Physical touch causes the speaker's mind to wander.
Baby
Baby
-Something's gotten hold of my hand
Reiteration of the impact on the speaker's hand.
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Repetition of the soul being dragged to a beautiful land.
Yeah, something has invaded my nights
Continued invasion of emotions during the nights.
Painting my sleep with a color so bright
Emphasizing the vivid and positive impact on sleep.
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Further mention of color symbolism representing intense emotions.
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
