Change Your Mind
Seductive Symphony: Tori Kelly's Alluring Ode to Forbidden Love
Lyrics
He came to me like a song
Comparing his arrival to something familiar and comforting.
Like one I knew all along
Feeling an instant connection or familiarity.
And daddy, he got a hold on me
Acknowledging a strong influence on emotions.
I know you think that it's wrong
Recognizing differing opinions about the relationship.
But he grew on me like a rose
Expressing gradual attachment, likening it to a beautiful flower.
The sweetest I've ever known
Emphasizing the exceptional sweetness of this attachment.
I swear that he got a hold on me
Emotionally captivated and unable to break free.
And now I can't let him go
Feeling unable to move on from this bond.
No one ever said it was easy
Highlighting the difficulty of the situation.
And I love him, you gotta believe me
Asserting love despite skepticism.
No, it don't seem right
Recognizing the perceived wrongness but promises a change in perspective.
But I'll change your mind, mind
Commitment to altering someone's viewpoint.
Trust in me, I'ma need your blessing
Requesting support and approval.
Oh, I love him, I'm confessing
Admitting affection openly.
If it takes my life
Willingness to go to extreme lengths for acceptance.
I'ma change your mind
Determined to change the other person's perspective.
He spoke to me like the rain
Comparing his communication to something essential for life.
I knew that I would have to see him again
Sense of inevitability about meeting again.
And as he poured out his heart on me
Receiving emotional vulnerability.
I was a moth to a flame, oh
Feeling irresistibly drawn to him.
No one ever said it was easy
Reiteration of the situation's difficulty.
And I love him, you gotta believe me
Reassertion of love amidst skepticism.
No, it don't seem right
Acknowledging the perceived mismatch but aiming for a change.
But I'll change your mind, mind, yeah
Reaffirming the commitment to changing the other's perspective.
Trust in me, I'ma need your blessing
Seeking approval and support.
Oh, I love him, yeah, I'm confessing
Openly confessing love.
If it takes my life
Willing to sacrifice greatly for acceptance.
I'ma change your mind (mind)
Persistent determination to change the other's mind.
Oh
Expressing emotions.
Oh, no, no, no
Rejection or denial.
Oh, no, no
Emphatic refusal.
I'ma change your mind
Reiterating the intention to change the other's perspective.
Oh, oh
Continued determination.
You look at me like the sun
Comparing the way they are viewed to something radiant and positive.
And I can see that your mind's made up
Observing a firm decision already made by the other person.
But daddy, he got a hold on me
Stating the powerful hold this person has.
I swear that he is the one
Expressing firm belief in the person's significance.
