Under the Spell
Spellbound Emotions: The Doobie Brothers Unveil Love's Captivating Power
Lyrics
There's a stormy vision
Refers to having a turbulent or unsettled perception
Stars before my eyes
Feeling overwhelmed or dazzled by something exceptional
I seem to have this fear of the dark
Expresses a fear of the unknown or uncertainties, particularly associated with darkness
That only love defies
Suggests that love is the only force powerful enough to overcome the fear of the dark
And I'm walkin' as if in a trance
Describes moving unconsciously, possibly influenced by emotions
And I'm talkin' like a man possessed
Speaking intensely or with fervor due to being emotionally affected
Makes me wonder if I'll ever get straight
Reflects uncertainty about getting back on track in life
When you snap your fingers and change my fate, baby
Implies a belief that someone else holds the power to change the speaker's destiny
Love gets its way and honey I must obey
Love's influence requires compliance or submission from the speaker
I'm under the spell
Describes being influenced or controlled by love's power
So tough to clear out my head
Difficulty in clearing thoughts or focusing due to the impact of emotions or experiences
Comin' down from a night of passion
Recovering from an intense romantic encounter or emotional event
I blacked out the moment I felt
Experiencing a loss of consciousness due to overwhelming emotions
This could only be love
Realization that the intense emotions felt are likely attributed only to love
I'm under the spell
Reiterates the feeling of being controlled or influenced by love
A physical reaction, the doctors all agree
Refers to a physical response to emotions that medical professionals acknowledge
Disillusion's all in my head
The feeling of being disenchanted or disillusioned exists only in the mind
It's so real to me
These emotions are intensely real and significant to the speaker
And I'm walkin' as if in a trance
Similar to line 5, moving unconsciously or subconsciously
And I'm talkin' like a man possessed
Speaking intensely or fervently due to emotional influence
Makes me wonder if I'll ever get straight
Reiterates doubt about returning to a stable state of mind or life
When you snap my fingers and change my fate, baby
Belief that someone else holds the power to alter the speaker's destiny
You'll get your way - cause honey - I must obey
Expresses compliance or submission to someone else's desires
I'm under the spell
Describes being under the powerful influence of love
So tough to clear out my head
Difficulty in regaining composure or mental clarity due to the impact of emotions
Comin' down from a night of passion
Recovering from intense emotions or experiences, particularly associated with romance
I blacked out the moment I felt
Experiencing a loss of consciousness due to overwhelming emotions
This could only be love
Recognition that these overwhelming emotions are likely attributed solely to love
I'm under the spell
Reiterates the feeling of being controlled or influenced by love
Starstruck - I stare into space
Feeling captivated or mesmerized by a celestial phenomenon
I see the flash - then I hear the thunder
Experiencing sudden realization followed by a significant impact or consequence
So shocked - I'm merely a shell
Feeling profoundly affected or empty due to an intense experience
It's stranger than love -
Expresses the idea that the situation surpasses the boundaries or understanding of love
I'm under the spell
Reiterates the feeling of being controlled or influenced by love
Fools fall in love under the moonlight
Refers to the commonality of people falling in love in romantic or enchanting settings
Count me as one - under the spell
Expresses the speaker's acknowledgment of being affected or influenced by love
