| Ani DiFranco – Hypnotized Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this is one of the most literal songs Ani has. In the Official Bootleg Series CD, Rome, Italy Ani talks about her encounter with a fan. The fan asked if Ani would sing a new song that hasn't been written. That night before the show Ani sat down and wrote a song for her...and boom! We have Hypnotized. So, I'm fairly certain the lyrics are literal. Ani just chillin in Rome, probably homesick, most likely high, and running into a group of fans..."But you spoke so I could understand, and I drew a treasure map on your hand." This may be the fan talking to Ani, and Ani being relieved that she knew English. From then she probably autographed her hand or something of that sort. Treasure=Autograph (at least it would be considered a treasure for me). "And lovely girls were hovering above my head like gulls. With their long slender necks and delicate skulls." I imagine a group of women who were Ani fans gawking over the little folk singer. Just my thoughts:) |
