M.I.A.: A Melodic Tale of Welcome, Separation, and Finding Calm
Lyrics
It’s just a welcome home, celebrate
Expressing a sense of welcome home and celebration.
Thank God she left me ‘lone, separate
Grateful for being left alone, emphasizing separation.
Until I phone, I see her everyday
Expressing frequent communication, seeing the person every day.
She’s in my bones, can’t wait to generate
Describing a deep connection, anticipating a creative process.
Breathe in and keep me calm, meditate
Encouraging calmness through breathing exercises.
Breathe in, she keeps me calm, medicate
Highlighting the calming effect of the person, suggesting medication.
Pour in my drug, pour in my lemonade
Metaphorically pouring in substances, possibly referring to influence.
Thank God she’s home, she’s knows I’m M.I.A.
Expressing gratitude for the person being home, acknowledging being M.I.A. (Missing In Action).
Thank God she’s home, she’s knows I’m M.I.A.
Repetition for emphasis on the person's awareness of being M.I.A.
Thank God she’s home, she’s knows I’m M.I.A.
-Left me home, just to let me go
Left alone, possibly abandoned, to experience freedom.
Impress me oh, you don’t get me no
Asking to impress but feeling unrecognized.
You try to caress me, then try to forget and you think nobody knows
Describing attempts to connect and be forgotten, feeling exposed.
Thank God your beautiful, we could do the usual
Acknowledging the person's beauty and suggesting typical behavior.
And since I’m new to you, pictures of my funeral
Being new to someone, contemplating one's own funeral through pictures.
You said you’d give me your all
Recalling a promise of giving all to the relationship.
Your all
