Mimosa
DYLYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the walls are caving in on me
Said, "I, I wanna lose my mind
'Cause if I don't, I'll die"
Baby take the edge of right
Some bust, hop off
Maybe you'll get lucky or not
I see you, you gotta let go
When life gets too serious, so serious
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
Come here and sip on my Mimosa
Babe, don't work ‒ come over, play
Don't wanna think about anything
I like my weekend on a Wednesday
When life is a fuck without the foreplay
You don't gotta try, you don't gotta try
Put it on ice, put it on ice
Yeah, baby take the edge of right
Some bust, hop off
Maybe you'll get lucky or not
Why you so, so serious?
I see you, you gotta let go
When life gets too serious, so serious
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
I rather sip on my Mimosa
Why you so, so serious?
I rather sip on my Mimosa
Why you so, so serious?
Come here and sip on my Mimosa
You gotta let go, you gotta let go, you gotta let go
I won't let you go
You gotta let go, you gotta let go, you gotta let go
Go, go, oh
Come here and sip on my Mimosa
Why you so, so serious?
I see you, you gotta let go
When life gets too serious, so serious
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
I rather sip on my Mimosa
I rather swim in my Mimosa, ooh
I rather sip on my Mimosa
Come here and sip on my Mimosa
I rather sip on my Mimosa
The lyrics to DYLYN's song "Mimosa" convey a sense of frustration and exhaustion with the stresses of life. The first stanza begins with the singer expressing their difficult day and feeling overwhelmed by the walls closing in on them. They express a desire to "lose their mind" as a means of coping with the pressure. The chorus comes in next, with the singer declaring that they would rather escape their troubles and swim in their mimosa, letting go of their seriousness and worries. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer inviting someone over to play and forget about their responsibilities. They reiterate their desire to let go and enjoy life without trying too hard.
Overall, the song seems to be a call for self-care and relaxation in the face of stress and anxiety. The repeated refrain of "Why you so, so serious? I see you, you gotta let go when life gets too serious, so serious" highlights the importance of taking breaks and not getting too consumed by the pressures of life. The metaphor of the mimosa as a refreshing and calming escape helps to reinforce this message.
