Double Vision
Enigmatic Desires: Unraveling the Double Vision by Rory Gallagher
Lyrics
You give me double vision, strange transmission
You create a distorted perception, a peculiar signal
When you walk in the room
Upon entering the room
Tongue-tied feeling, can't see the ceiling
Feeling unable to speak, vision obscured; metaphorical reference to a state of confusion
You've turned out the moon
You've dimmed the light or joy in the situation
Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do
Asking the person what their intentions or motives are
You give me double vision, strange condition
Inducing a visual distortion, creating an unusual state
When you act that way
When you behave in a particular manner
I'm walking sideways, my nights become days
Experiencing a disoriented state, time seems to shift
But I feel okay
Despite the disorientation, feeling generally fine
Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do
Seeking clarification on the person's actions
You give me double vision, soul transmission
Causing a twofold impact, affecting the soul deeply
When you act so cruel
When the person acts in a harsh or unkind manner
My mind is reeling, can't see the ceiling
Experiencing intense mental disturbance, metaphorically losing direction
'Cause you've turned out the moon
The joy or brightness in life has been extinguished
Tell me, mama, what you're trying to do
Asking the person, likely a maternal figure, about their intentions
You got me jumpin' like a man with the voodoo
The person's actions have a mesmerizing effect, comparable to voodoo magic
Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do
Seeking clarification once again on the person's intentions
You got me crazy like a man with the voodoo
The person's influence is driving to a state of madness, like under a voodoo spell
