Christine's lyrics aren't exactly deep- in fact, they are perhaps even simpler than most of her songs (which is saying something). However, they lend themselves well to what is a tender, laid back, chilled piece of music. It also reminds me of Warm Ways in its simplicity.

Mystified is as light as air, but a fine rarefied air indeed! It's not meant to be a song of message, but one of mood and atmosphere. The spare, uncluttered lyrics compliment Lindsey's musical arrangement, creating an easy listening landscape; a pillow-like album track that doesn't demand much from the listener.
