The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hypnotised" by the artist "Years Years"

Years & Years' "Hypnotised" portrays an intense infatuation and captivation the speaker experiences towards someone. This feeling is so powerful that it's compared to being hypnotized.

Imagery:

Ship sailing into the night: Symbolizes leaving reality behind, venturing into the unknown under this person's influence.

Sirens: Mythological creatures known for their enchanting voices, luring sailors to their doom. They represent the irresistible allure of the object of affection.

"Take it all": The voice within the speaker, driven by the desire to surrender completely to this feeling, despite potential consequences.

Flowers blooming with no regrets: A metaphor for reckless passion, unconcerned with the future.

Flames, gold: Symbols of passion, dazzling beauty, a wealth of sensations the speaker experiences with this person.

Overall, the song conveys the euphoria and dizziness of love, yet an underlying anxiety exists due to the loss of control and uncertainty about the future.

[Verse 1:]

I had a dream of a ship that we sailed in the night

Such a sweet, sweet call

The siren soothes my mind

Who am I going to be when the curtain is drawn?

In the cool, cool light, they whispered to me, "take it all"

[Pre-Chorus 1:]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

The fortune said

"Flowers bloom with no regret"

[Chorus:]

Surround me, body and soul

Pull me into your glow, make me blush

Unbound me, spin me in gold

As the story unfolds in your touch

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Who can breathe me into life?

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just one more look at you

My heart has been hypnotised

[Verse 2:]

I know a place where it's always so perfect and blue

And the boy says, "Babe, believe me, it's all for you"

[Pre-Chorus 2:]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

The fortune said

(The fortune, it said)

"Flowers bloom with no regret"

(With no regret)

[Chorus:]

Surround me, body and soul

Pull me into your glow, make me blush

Unbound me, spin me in gold

As the story unfolds in your touch

Ooh-ooh oh ooh

Who can breathe me into life?

Ooh-ooh oh ooh

Just one more look at you

My heart has been hypnotised

[Bridge:]

And every colour comes to life

As petals fall before your eyes

You kiss me, and I'm hypnotised

[Chorus:]

Surround me, body and soul

Pull me into your glow, make me blush

Unbound me, spin me in gold

As the story unfolds in your touch

Ooh-ooh oh ooh

Who can breathe me into life?

Ooh-ooh oh ooh

Just one more look at you

My heart has been hypnotised
