All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving broken hearts behind

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive

In all that exists
None have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill divine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Well they'll kiss you every night

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify

    "Almond looks, that chill divine" For me it is a pretty clear. When Michael says Almond looks, I see the eyes of a women I love, and that moment for me is a chill divine, feeling indescribable

    My Opinion
    Obviously, to me, just about a man and his lover. And by the way, his lover sounds really awesome... I want to be her ;D I don't really get the first verse, but the words are very pretty. I especially like "And we're leaving broken hearts behind." The chorus- well, the word "hypnotize" could have been used, but instead "mystify" was and that turned the song meaning on its head! "I need perfection, some twisted selection, that tangles me, to keep me alive"- about choosing the right gil. About finding THE ONE. Don't we al dream of that? The "twsited selection" of lookng for her. "In all that exist, none have your beauty- I see your face, I will survive." Yay! Hee's found her! As long as she's there, he's going to be fine. And then my favorite lyrics- "Eternlly wild with the power, to make every moment come alive... all the stars that shne above you, wel they'll kiss you every night." In the course of a few lyrics hes gone from searching for and finding her to exhalting his lover. Words cannot express how much I love these lyrcis! Such a way to compliment someone. That's why I want to be her (not only that, but because if we're being literal here she's dating the hottest man who ever lived...). I love the piao on this track. It's a GREAT song to belt out at the top of yur lungs. ;)

    Do the broken hearts left behind belong to the protagonist and his lover, or to their current partners being left? I've always heard it as the latter but I was wondering... I like this song a lot but sometimes think it's performed a bit too bombastically; I could hear it sung the same way but with less instrumental backup and be even more sexy/mysterious. Love the lyrics.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
