In this evocative track, Stevie Nicks reflects on her past self, embracing the free-spirited and spontaneous essence of her youth. The lyrics "Back to the velvet underground" suggest a return to her roots, where she felt most authentic and alive. The recurring imagery of lightning symbolizes fleeting moments of clarity and insight that illuminate her journey. As she revisits memories of who she once was—a 'gypsy' unbound by convention—there's a poignant blend of nostalgia and longing for freedom. This song beautifully captures the tension between past identities and present realities, highlighting the enduring impact of our formative experiences on our sense of self.
Gypsy
Lyrics
So I'm back to the velvet underground
Back to the floor that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy that I was
(Do, do, do, do)
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does and
Lightning strikes maybe once, maybe twice
Oh and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy
That remains
And faces freedom
With a little fear
I have no fear
Have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy, oh
You see your gypsy
Ooh ooh, oh, oh
Ooh
And it all comes down to you
Ooh oh
I still see your, your bright eyes
Ooh
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
But I still see your bright eyes
I can't find you
Your bright eyes
I can't find you
Ooh, still see your bright eyes
