Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout
Down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
"Missing" by DFM | EDX feat. Mingue is a song about the feeling of longing for someone who has disappeared from your life. The first verse sets the scene with the singer walking down their former partner's street and past their old house, where they used to live together. However, now their ex-partner is nowhere to be found, as if they had disappeared into "outer space" and found "some better place." Despite the years that have passed since they've been there, the singer still misses their ex dearly.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of missing their ex, comparing it to how deserts miss the rain. This metaphor evokes a sense of intense longing and melancholy, as deserts are often associated with emptiness and yearning for something that never comes.
The second verse adds a haunting element with the line, "Could you be dead?" The singer wonders if their ex-lover might have died, which adds a layer of grief to their already heart-wrenching yearning for them. They reflect on how their ex used to be two steps ahead of everyone else, always running while they walked behind. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they will continue to miss their ex-lover deeply.
Overall, "Missing" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the feeling of longing for someone who has disappeared from your life. Its haunting melody and heartbreaking lyrics make it a powerful ballad that resonates with anyone who has experienced loss or heartbreak.
