Spell

NIKI's song 'Spell' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love's complexities and the deep emotional connections that bind two people together. The lyrics paint a picture of an intimate and almost mystical relationship, where the lovers are so deeply entwined that they can communicate without words. The opening lines, 'Slow, Come and kiss me slow,' set a tender and deliberate pace, emphasizing the importance of savoring each moment together. The imagery of lights being down but still seeing through each other suggests a profound understanding and connection that transcends the physical world.

The chorus reveals a deeper layer of the relationship, where the singer acknowledges the partner's skepticism about love and heaven. 'You don’t think that heaven’s real, So I’ll love you ’til it hurts like hell,' speaks to a commitment to love fiercely and unconditionally, even if it means enduring pain. This line encapsulates the idea that true love is not always easy or blissful; it can be challenging and painful, but it is worth it. The use of the word 'spell' in the title and throughout the song suggests that love has an almost magical, enchanting quality that can be both beautiful and binding.

In the second verse, the lyrics 'Bury your love deep, You can plant your trust in me,' further emphasize the theme of deep emotional investment and trust. The reference to 'yellow bricks' is a nod to the classic tale of 'The Wizard of Oz,' symbolizing a journey and the idea of creating a path together. The line '’Til God breaks this spell' suggests that the singer sees their love as something almost divine, a powerful force that only a higher power could break. This adds a layer of spirituality to the song, making it not just about romantic love but also about a deeper, almost sacred connection.
