Born
Collin Mclouglin & MitiS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thousand words, I can hear but I can′t be
Caught in a dream, I can feel but I can't leave
I′m a walking disaster, a broken machine
And I know that none of it matters, as long as I'm inside this dream with you

I know it's gone but my mind never says no
Try to be strong but my heart never lets go
I′m a walking disaster, a broken machine
And I know that none of it matters, as long as I′m inside this dream with you





Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Collin McLoughlin and MitiS's song "Born" speak to the conflicting emotions and experiences that the singer is going through. The first verse, "Thousand words, I can hear but I can't be / Caught in a dream, I can feel but I can't leave," suggests that the person feels trapped within their own thoughts and unable to fully engage or connect with the outside world. It's as if they are stuck in a dream-like state where they can perceive things but are unable to fully participate or escape from it.


The next line, "I'm a walking disaster, a broken machine," reveals that the individual feels broken and dysfunctional, almost as if they are malfunctioning like a machine. This could imply a sense of emotional or mental instability, where they feel like they are falling apart. However, the line "And I know that none of it matters, as long as I'm inside this dream with you" suggests that despite the turmoil they feel, there is solace and comfort in being with someone they care about. It's as if this dream-like state becomes bearable as long as they have this person by their side.


Moving on to the second verse, "I know it's gone but my mind never says no / Try to be strong but my heart never lets go," reveals the internal conflict within the singer. They acknowledge that something is lost or over, yet their mind still clings onto it, creating a sense of inner turmoil. Despite trying to be strong, their heart still holds onto the past, making it difficult for them to move on fully.


Overall, these lyrics explore the themes of feeling trapped, broken, and conflicted. They touch on the power of dreams and how they can either be a place of solace or a source of internal struggle. Additionally, the lyrics highlight the impact of someone's presence in the midst of these emotional experiences.

This song is nostalgic, comforting, and uplifting at the same time. One year later and I'm not even close to getting tired of it. Thanks MitiS, Collin, and Sheepy for getting me through many days both good and bad.

I discovered this song from a music app back in 2013-2014 while I was digging a hole under a house working with a contractor; and the moment hadn't left me since. Mitis is easily in my personal top 5.
Love and PLUR
