Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart Lyrics
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, and turning me down
Making me smile, and making me frown
In a world that was war
I once lived in a time that was peace and no troubles at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling of unknown shook my heart
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days
(Yeah, I gotta tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you
I got to know if this is the real thing
I got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-o-ye-e-e-e-e...
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you
Meaning of Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
“Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart” is a passionate and slightly disorienting exploration of being utterly consumed by love. The lyrics depict a sudden, forceful intrusion – “something” – that has shattered the speaker’s former life of peace, replacing it with an overwhelming, almost chaotic attraction to another person. Initially shaken and uncertain (“a feeling of unknown shook my heart”), the speaker is now swept away, experiencing intense highs and lows, joy and confusion, as this new love transforms their world into a vibrant, scarlet landscape. Marc Almond’s delivery amplifies the song's yearning and vulnerability, conveying a sense of being helplessly lost in the intoxicating power of desire. Ultimately, the song expresses a desperate need for confirmation – “I got to know if this is the real thing” – reflecting the raw honesty and hopeful anticipation at the heart of an all-consuming romance.
