## **Theme**

"HYPNOTIZED is about fake friendships. The people that want to know all about you so they can use it against you later. I'm no stranger to people trying to take advantage of me or using things I've shared in confidence to later stab me in the back. I want people to listen to this song and go; No. Wait. I'm better than this. I deserve the best. I want to remind people not to slip into the golden glow of 'fitting in' even if it's at your own expense. It's a fine line everybody dances at different points throughout their lives in all different types of relationship- when we know someone is taking us for a ride but we want it to be true. We want to fit in with their 'crew' even if we know they're fake and don't actually care. When they listen to HYPNOTIZED I want people to listen to realise that they deserve people who care about them for themselves, wholly and completely."

## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

You are poison breathing, just a fire demon

Take my soul, leave me here, I'm a shell, I'm heaving

Deep breath, deep breath, searching for air

I said we don't want you here, we don't want you here

'Cause you didn't need to, need to be this evil

In the end, it's alright, we are all just people

Step back, step back, lost chance, you hear

I said we don't want you here, we don't want you here

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Come join us, we want to play

Tell us all your fears

You don't want to run away

Now it's crystal clear

**[Chorus]**

Can't you see you're hypnotized?

Locked inside those eyes

No, don't you go out at night

You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized

Hypnotized, hypnotized

No, don't you go out at night

**[Verse 2]**

Try and walk away but you cannot escape

Too late now, made your choice

Like I said, too late

Get back, get back, think you're safe

But you're tripping because

I said we don't want you here

We don't want you here

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Come join us, we want to play

Tell us all your fears

You don't want to run away

Now it's crystal clear

**[Chorus]**

Can't you see you're hypnotized?

Locked inside those eyes

No, don't you go out at night

You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized

Hypnotized, hypnotized

No, don't you go out at night

**[Bridge]**

Look into my eyes, find it so appealing

Look into my eyes, send your body reeling

Now you're hypnotized

Drag you down, down, down

Look into my eyes, find it so appealing

Look into my eyes, send your body reeling

Now you're hypnotized

So drag you down, down, down

**[Chorus]**

Can't you see you're hypnotized?

Locked inside those eyes

No, don't you go out at night

You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized

Hypnotized, hypnotized

No, don't you go out at night
