Special
Mew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like rocket through me
Oh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time
Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go
You're special
You're like a rocket through me
Oh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time
There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
You're a rocket to me
At this surprised
All the time
I know what you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
Address it to you
Honey bee
I know what you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
And what do you stay to do?
I saw the worst of you
The song "Special" by Mew talks about someone who is special and has a strong impact on the person singing it. The lyrics refer to this special person as a rocket that ignites strong emotions within the singer. The lines "you're special", "you're like a rocket through me", and "you're a rocket to me" are repeated several times throughout the song to emphasize the impact this person has on the singer.
The lyrics also mention "Agarina", which could be the name of the special person or a reference to a place or situation. The singer seems to be encouraging Agarina to go somewhere or do something they may not have been able to do before. The line "this time you will go" suggests that whatever it is, it's important and the singer believes in Agarina's ability to succeed.
The song also references a "taste" that Agarina can't shake and an apparent struggle to let go of something. The singer acknowledges this struggle and accepts Agarina despite their flaws. The final lines mention seeing the "worst" of Agarina, but still wanting to take them "up and down" and be with them.

@kentucky_ken
They could be bigger like Radiohead or Muse. This band is criminally underrated. Love them.
@stephenlasko9217
Sorry nowhere near as creative as Radiohead. Great for what it is.
@lukfawantrijati1654
Muse maybe, but radiohead c'mon they are on another level as a musician
@tantragazali3265
MEW is superb, but im not agree them bigger than Radiohead. IMO
@mily.gm22
2022 and still loving this song like the first time ✨✨✨✨🖤🔥
@imperialsaboteur8391

13 years ago I heard this song on the radio, I went home and looked up this video. I then went on to watch every video of theirs I could find and read every tid bit of information about them I could find, within a couple of hours I was obsessed. In the early evening I went to get some dinner at the pub near my house and picked up the local events paper. Mew were playing that very night in town. So off I went to the show, Within a day I discovered Mew, consumed everything, and in the height of my new obsession saw them play live in a tiny club, very trippy day.
@katekate4911
damn, that's amazing 🩷
@floteamo
That voice is sweet, deep and beautiful. One of my favourite tracks of MEW. Plus this is one of my private bands wich I enjoy much more being alone.

This song is so infectiously catchy. The music video defiantly delivers a beautiful visual. A masterpiece from an underrated band.
