Missing
A.R. Rahman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's all the same
Another day without you
Calling my name
I tried to fill the void
But it was all in vain
Cause nothing feels good
And I'm filled with so much pain
I'm missing you in every single way
I'm missing you
And don't know what to do
Cause losing you
Was losing a part of me too
Thought we had forever
But forever's just a lie
Cause now I'm all alone
And I can't help but cry
I'm haunted by your smile
And your gentle touch
Now you're just a memory
That I think of too much
I'm missing you every single day
I'm missing you in every single way
I'm missing you
And don't know what to do
Cause losing you
Was losing a part of me too
I know we had our problems
But we had it all
And now I'm left with nothing
But the memories to recall
I want to turn back the clock
Make everything right
Now I'm just a broken heart
Lost to the night
I'm missing you every single day
I'm missing you in every single way
I'm missing you
And don't know what to do
Cause losing you
I'm missing you every single day
I'm missing you in every single way
I'm missing you
And don't know what to do
Cause losing you
Was losing a part of me too
The lyrics of A.R. Rahman's song "Missing" explore the difficult emotions that can arise from drinking and overthinking. The first verse describes waking up after a night of drinking with a headache and spending the night with his head in the toilet, using it as a place to think. He expresses a fear of losing pieces of his heart, indicating a fear of vulnerability and intimacy. The second verse describes the act of overthinking one's life, which he compares to using a knife, indicating the pain and difficulty involved in confronting one's emotions. He repeats the fear of losing pieces of his heart, reinforcing that the underlying theme of the song is a fear of vulnerability.
The chorus, with the repeated phrase "la-la-la-ah-eh-oh," provides a haunting and, at times, disturbing quality to the song. The melody is beautiful, but the lyrics express difficult and painful emotions that create a sense of unease. The song is ultimately about the fear of letting people in and the pain that can result from allowing oneself to be vulnerable.
