Infinity
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why you mad, talkin' 'bout you're mad
Could it be that you just lost the best you've ever had?
That's your bag, yup, that's too bad
Show is over, you ain't gotta act
Name hold weight like kilos
Boy, you actin' so corny like Fritos
Wouldn't have none of that without me though
Ain't none of my business, it's tea though
Outta ammo, gotta reload
If life was a game, you're a free throw
It's nothing that you don't already know

Close the door, lose the key
Leave my heart on the mat for me
I was yours eternally
There's an end to infinity
To infinity
To infinity

How I say this, fact that you still exist
No disrespect, no second thought it truly, truly is
Truthfully I'm through with this
Why are we still doing this?
Answer the phone like, "Who is this?"
Take your head and knock some sense
Je ne comprends pas
Ain't no compliments
Ain't no being friends
Ain't no false pretense
Ain't no make amends
Ain't no come agains
That's the story, ain't no happy ends

Close the door, lose the key
Leave my heart on the mat for me
I was yours eternally
There's an end to infinity
To infinity
To infinity

Is it lack of ice got you so cold?
Have you ever felt this on your own?
Why you tryin' to play like you're so grown?
Everything you own, boy, you still owe

Close the door, lose the key
Leave my heart on the mat for me
I was yours eternally
There's an end to infinity
To infinity
To infinity

You're leaving, you're leaving, you're out the door
Infinity loving me more and more
You're leaving, you're leaving, you're out the door
Infinity loving me more and more
'Cause I believe infinity is more than just a made up dream
I believe infinity is more than just a made up dream

Overall Meaning

The Mariah Carey "Infinity" lyrics present a strong message of empowerment, self-love, and moving forward after a relationship’s end. The song revolves around the theme of a woman setting boundaries for herself and closing off a relationship that wasn't giving her the love she deserves. Carey sings about a man who is trying to make amends after breaking her heart, but she is unwilling to keep playing games with him, stating that an end to infinity exists. The lyrics also suggest that Carey’s ex-boyfriend is trying to make up for his past wrongs by promising to give her compliments and be friends, but it's fruitless, and she sees through the facade.


Throughout "Infinity," Carey's lyrics highlight the worth she placed on the relationship and how much she gave to make it work. However, the song portrays a woman who is not afraid to let go of things that refuse to evolve into something positive. Carey acknowledges that it's time to move on, letting go of the past and looking forward to the future.


The repetitive refrain of "Close the door, lose the key / Leave my heart on the mat for me," reinforces that Carey is taking action and leaving the relationship behind. The lines signify her intention to cut ties, leave the relationship behind, and move forward with her life while still holding onto her heart, which is symbolic of going on with her life while still loving herself.


In summary, Mariah Carey's lyrics in "Infinity" portray a message of moving on from toxic relationships, self-love, and empowerment, all in one powerful song.
