Mission
Van She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say you, gives you back your ride
When you turn your back on them
Say 'cause it's me who wants this fight
My baby's strange

Say you, keep turning back to the left
Just step back 'cause you don't care
Say 'cause it's me who wants this fight
My baby's strange

Strange, strange

On a mission, can't you see?
On addicted fantasy
Come and make your move
You don't tell me, baby, whoa, ah, oh

On a mission, can't you see?
On addicted fantasy
Come and make your move
You don't tell me, baby, whoa, ah, oh

Say you, gives you back your ride
When you turn your back on them
Say 'cause it's me who wants this fight
My baby's strange

Say you, keep turning back to the left
Just step back 'cause you don't care
Say 'cause it's me who wants this fight
My baby's strange

On a mission, can't you see?
On addicted fantasy
Come and make your move
You don't tell me, baby, whoa, ah, oh

Overall Meaning

The song “Mission” by Van She is a track that is open to interpretation, with lyrics that may seem cryptic and ambiguous at times. The song features a repeating chorus with phrases like “On a mission, can’t you see?” and “On addicted fantasy” – suggesting that the singer is on a quest for something obsessive and perhaps destructive.


The first verse repeats the phrase “Say you” followed by the statement “gives you back your ride when you turn your back on them,” which could refer to someone who is disloyal or untrustworthy. The second line “Say ‘cause it’s me who wants this fight, my baby’s strange” suggests that the singer is perhaps fighting against societal norms or people’s expectations, and that their struggles may make them feel like an outcast. The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the phrase “Say you” repeated before a statement that encourages the listener to take a step back and not care about the consequences of their actions – perhaps suggesting a hedonistic or rebellious attitude.


The chorus repeats several times throughout the song, with the lyrics “Come and make your move/You don’t tell me, baby”. This could suggest a theme of empowerment and independence – that the singer is determined to make their own decisions and live life on their own terms, despite any obstacles or expectations placed upon them.


Overall, “Mission” by Van She may be interpreted as a song about someone who is living a non-conventional, perhaps risky or indulgent lifestyle, and is determined to stay true to themselves no matter what.


Line by Line Meaning

Say you, gives you back your ride
If you say, they will return what they took from you


When you turn your back on them
They only take from you when you are not looking


Say 'cause it's me who wants this fight
Blame me for the conflict


My baby's strange
The person I am with is unusual


Say you, keep turning back to the left
You always look in the same direction, even if it's not helpful


Just step back 'cause you don't care
Take a break because you are indifferent


Strange, strange
Out of the ordinary


On a mission, can't you see?
Focused on a goal


On addicted fantasy
A slave to an unrealistic dream


Come and make your move
Act on your desires


You don't tell me, baby, whoa, ah, oh
I won't take orders from you
