Magic Mystery

Exaloud's 'Magic Mystery' delves into the captivating and enigmatic nature of the night, exploring themes of curiosity, desire, and the duality of light and darkness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is drawn to the secrets and mysteries that the night holds. The night is personified as a seductive force, one that the protagonist is both fascinated and overwhelmed by. The line 'You want to realize that knowing is too much' suggests that the pursuit of knowledge and understanding can be both enlightening and burdensome.

The song contrasts the night with the coming of the sunrise, symbolizing a return to reality and the harshness of daylight. The lyrics 'Light irritate your eyes but this is have to be' reflect the discomfort that comes with facing the truth and leaving the comfort of the night’s embrace. This duality is further emphasized by the repeated notion of the night starting to one's face and the obsession that follows. The night offers a retreat, a place where dreams and reality blur, allowing for a sense of wonder and introspection.

In the final verse, the night is described as a calming and darkening force, where dreams make sense and emotions are felt more deeply.
