Since You Stole My Heart
Captivated by Unseen Forces
Lyrics
I don't know what's come over me
I am experiencing a change in myself
Since you stole my heart
Refers to someone taking possession of the speaker's heart
You've got a power that no one can see
Describing an unseen, captivating influence the person has
And it reaches down to ocean
Metaphorical extension of the person's influence to the ocean
Seagulls fly in circular motion
Visual imagery of seagulls in circular flight
Children spinning in roller-coasters
Depicting a lively scene of children on roller-coasters
Since you stole my heart
Reiterates the impact of the person stealing the speaker's heart
And every time you're close to me
Expressing the intensity of emotions when the person is near
Since you stole my heart
Repeating the theme of the person stealing the speaker's heart
I feel an electricity
Sensations of electric energy associated with the person
And it just won't go away
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the feelings
And no, I can't give it a name
Unable to define or label the emotions
And nothing seems to feel at all the same
Nothing feels the same since the person entered the speaker's life
Since you stole my heart
Reiterating the transformative impact of the person
I walked through the graveyard
Narrative of walking through a graveyard
And sang to the cold stars
Singing to the cold stars, implying a sense of solitude
All the names on my dancecard
Referring to unfulfilled connections or relationships
Left me standing down by the ocean
Left alone by the ocean, possibly symbolizing emotional vulnerability
All alone and out in the open
Feeling exposed and unprotected
I don't know what's come over me
Reiterating the impact of the person stealing the speaker's heart
Since you stole my heart.
Reiterating the sense of transformation since the person entered the speaker's life
Somebody told me that everyone's lonely
Being informed that everyone experiences loneliness
But I was the only fool there waiting
The speaker feeling unique in their waiting for someone
Down by the ocean
Repetition of the ocean setting, possibly symbolizing emotional depth
With my heart half the way broken
Heart partially broken, indicating emotional vulnerability
I don't know what's come over me
Reiterating the transformation caused by the person stealing the speaker's heart
Since you stole my heart.
Since you stole my heart.
Repeating the idea that the person has had a profound impact on the speaker
