Superstition
Unlocking the Mysteries: Decoding Superstition's Wisdom
Lyrics
Very superstitious, writing on the wall
Belief in superstitions, seeing ominous signs or warnings
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Fear of impending misfortune, superstition related to falling ladders
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
An incident involving a 13-month-old breaking a mirror
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
Consequences of breaking a mirror, suggesting bad luck for seven years
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Caution against believing in things without understanding them
Then you suffer
Outcome of believing in unexplained things – suffering
Superstition ain't the way
Rejecting the reliance on superstitions as a way of life
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
More superstitious actions for protection, washing face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Seeking solutions and doing everything possible to avoid problems
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
Desire to stay in a positive, hopeful state of mind
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
A plea for help, expressing a sense of sadness and vulnerability
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Reiteration of the warning against believing in unexplained things
Then you suffer
Highlighting the negative consequences of such beliefs – suffering
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh
Reaffirmation that superstition is not a recommended path
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Acknowledging the persistence of superstition without resolution
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Suggesting an impending threat or challenge related to superstition
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Repetition of the incident involving a 13-month-old and a broken mirror
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
Reiterating the consequences of breaking a mirror, contrasting past luck
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Emphasizing the warning against believing in unexplained things
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
Reiteration of the negative outcome – suffering, and rejection of superstition
