1685 Lyrics – Zedd feat. Muse

[Intro: Zedd]
In the intro, Zedd expresses a deep sense of vulnerability and a plea for comfort. The invocation of "Ave Maria" indicates a desire for divine solace and healing of emotional wounds. The questions about whether "Ave Maria" will be there when he falls underscore a feeling of insecurity and the need for unwavering support.

[Chorus: Zedd]
The chorus builds on this sense of urgency and emotional fragility. The desire to be "spun till I'm entranced" and the question of whether he has "strayed too far" to deserve affection reflect a fear of losing a chance for redemption or reconnection. The chorus encapsulates the central theme of seeking one last chance for forgiveness and warmth.

[Refrain: Zedd]
The refrain intensifies the theme of redemption. The repeated invocation of "Ave Maria" and the plea to be cleansed of sins and restored from within highlight the singer's profound need for spiritual and emotional renewal. The declaration of love "until the world explodes" emphasizes the depth of his feelings and the desire for an enduring connection despite his flaws.

[Chorus: Zedd]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the emotional core of the song. The repeated plea to be "spun till I'm entranced" and the anxiety about having "strayed too far" underscore the urgency and desperation for reconciliation. This repetition solidifies the theme of seeking redemption and reaffirming the singer's desire for one last chance at love and healing.

[Refrain: Zedd]
The second refrain echoes the earlier sentiments of needing divine cleansing and restoration. The repetition of "Ave Maria" and the commitment to love until the end of the world reaffirm the song's themes of spiritual longing and the quest for enduring forgiveness and connection.

[Instrumental Outro: Zedd]
The instrumental outro provides a reflective conclusion to the song, allowing the emotional intensity of the lyrics to resonate. The absence of lyrics here underscores the contemplative nature of the song, leaving the listener with a sense of lingering emotion and unresolved yearning.
