Magic Unraveled: Navigating Love's Thorny Path
Lyrics
My love forsaken in an ancient dream
Reflecting on a past love that feels abandoned in a distant memory.
You tried to put a curse on me
Accusation of an attempt to curse or harm the speaker.
Paste weird poison outside my door
Describing a strange poison placed outside the speaker's door.
In the night, what you chanting for?
Questioning the purpose of the chanting in the night.
Through the mountains, below the woods
Reference to a journey through mountains and woods.
Three little watch men with golden hoods
Imagery of three watchmen with golden hoods.
Curse is here and I don't feel a bump
Not feeling the effects of the curse, suggesting its failure.
I guess your magic don't work when you're drunk
Humorous note about the ineffectiveness of magic when one is drunk.
Hold on! Your love is strong
An urging to hold on to strong love.
But you need to hold it back
Caution against overwhelming emotions.
Before you lose somebody you love
Warning about the potential loss of a loved one.
You got the thickest skin
Complimenting someone on their emotional resilience.
So put something in it
Suggesting putting something substantial in one's thick skin, metaphorically advocating strength.
La la la love your body
Expressing love for the body.
Before you lose somebody you love
Reiteration of the warning against losing a loved one.
Place your face into your flowered hands
Encouraging introspection by placing one's face in their hands.
Breathe in deep cuz you got new plans
Embracing change and new plans.
Push your fingers up through your pores
Symbolic gesture of pushing through difficulties.
If this is love then I don't want no more
Expressing dissatisfaction with a love that feels painful.
Wipe the sorrow from your drunken eyes
Advising to wipe away sorrow, possibly from past mistakes.
Clean the stains from your church-worn ties
Suggesting a need to clean up and improve oneself.
Be the man you said you'd be
Encouraging someone to be true to their promises and ideals.
Hold on! Your love is strong
Reiteration of the strength of love but with a cautionary tone.
But you need to hold it back
Repeating the caution against overwhelming emotions.
Before you lose somebody you love
Repeating the warning about potential loss.
You got the thickest skin
Praising emotional resilience with a focus on thick skin.
So put something in it
Suggesting fortifying oneself emotionally.
La la la love your body
Reiteration of love for the body as a positive affirmation.
Before you lose somebody you love
Final warning to cherish and hold onto loved ones.
