Ask HN: Am I missing the Lisp magic?

I grew up coding in C and the many languages it inspired syntactically. I am currently learning some Erlang, which is cool. I for one can not understand the draw to Lisp or its syntax. It just looks confusing to me and in no way any easier than C to write/read. And looking at C-ish source code is effortless to get the right context but with stuff like )))))) ?? Someone explain please, also I understand some people like Lisp for some of its features, but are they tied to the syntax or can be easily copied over in another language? Also I know why functional programming so lets keep the discussion on the Syntax!
