Song of the week - My Interpretation
Moving to England, and a more poppy (and well-produced) sound. This is a perfect 3 1/2 minute pop song, distinguishing itself with excellent lyrics (which I personally really like - rare for me!) and musical sequences innovative for the genre. Sometimes, the charts do get it right, and MIKA’s solo debut album was deservedly popular.
My Interpretation - MIKA
Lyrics after the break.
My Interpretation
MIKA
VERSE ONE:
You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it’s nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it’s something, that needs repeating.
BRIDGE ONE:
I don’t need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our head.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
It does me up and down,
It doesn’t matter now.
CHORUS:
‘Cause I don’t care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don’t need a reason / not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don’t, don’t make sense.
VERSE TWO:
The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when / it’ll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn’t do / could be different,
Would it make it better?
BRIDGE TWO:
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.
(CHORUS REPEAT)
BREAKDOWN:
(instrumental)
It’s really not such a sacrifice
(CHORUS REPEAT)
OUTRO:
And it don’t have to make no sense to you at all,
‘Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.
