M.I.A.
Deegan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we fall on the edge and we fall
I wake up paranoid and
I think I'm so annoying
You tell me that you love me
Sometimes it's hard to show it
I get so existential
You act like I ain't mental
You feel like perfect tempo
You ain't gotta say please yuh
You just have to meet me up
At the park around 3 yuh
You know the special tree yuh
You can be on my team yuh
You can sell me your dreams yuh
I'll just be in the bleachers
Had to go home 'cause my feet hurt
I'm feelin' M.I.A.
You know like paper planes
You sent me sailing baby
Lost in space I'm crumbling
I'm feelin' M.I.A.
You know like paper planes
You sent me sailing baby
Lost in space I'm crumbling
If you say so
Tell me how you feelin' for the day oh
Over complications made me playful
Never meant to hurt you it's ok though
You're so great oh
You ain't never had no one like me
Might be the cutest thing ya ever done seen
Gotta make it home so I gotta keep it brief
Official on the 'gram gon' be like
You ain't never had no one like this
Gotta take a shot so I hope I don't miss
Taking you back yeah it is what it is
Taking it back man I always reminisce
No one like me
You'll never find no one like me
Can't explain it
Can't contain it
I hope you agree, no
I want it all
I'm 'bout to jump but scared to fall
You can take your time
And I'll take mine
B-b-but
I want it now
Oh Oh yeah
Oh Woah
Lost but I'm found
For you
I'm feelin' M.I.A.
You know like paper planes
You sent me sailing baby
Lost in space I'm crumbling
I'm feelin' M.I.A.
You know like paper planes
You sent me sailing baby
Lost in space I'm crumbling
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
(I want it now)
(And we fall on the edge)
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
(I want it now)
(And we fall on the edge)
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
We lost it all to find a friend
It's hard to fall
Beyond the edge
(I want it now)
(And we fall on the edge)
The lyrics of Deegan's song "M.I.A." convey a mix of emotional vulnerability, longing, and a desire for connection. The artist expresses feelings of anxiety and self-doubt, waking up paranoid and feeling like they are annoying. However, despite these insecurities, there is a deep need for love and validation from their partner. The artist mentions the difficulty in expressing love and sometimes feeling mentally unstable, yet their partner acts as the perfect balance, bringing sentimental feelings and a sense of peace, like the perfect tempo in a song.
The lyrics also touch upon the desire for a special meeting, emphasizing the importance of a specific tree in a park as a symbolic place for connection. The artist acknowledges the dreams their partner sells, highlighting the willingness to buy into their dreams and be supportive. The chorus likens the emotional state to being M.I.A. (Missing in Action) like paper planes, sailing aimlessly and feeling lost in space, implying a sense of longing and fragmentation. The repetition of the line "You ain't never had no one like me" suggests the artist's self-assuredness and uniqueness, affirming that their partner will not find someone else like them.
Overall, the song explores the complexities of relationships, the need for validation, and the yearning for connection amidst personal insecurities.
Line by Line Meaning
Fall on the edge
We face difficult situations and challenges head-on
And we fall on the edge and we fall
Despite the risks, we continue to push ourselves and take chances
I wake up paranoid and
I often feel anxious and insecure
I think I'm so annoying
I constantly worry that I bother others
You tell me that you love me
You express your affection towards me
Sometimes it's hard to show it
At times, it's challenging for you to demonstrate your love
I get so existential
I often ponder deep questions about life and existence
You act like I ain't mental
You behave as if I'm not crazy or unstable
You make me sentimental
You evoke strong emotions and nostalgia within me
You feel like perfect tempo
Being with you feels harmonious and perfectly in sync
You ain't gotta say please yuh
You don't need to ask politely
You just have to meet me up
Simply meet me
At the park around 3 yuh
Let's meet at the park at approximately 3 o'clock
You know the special tree yuh
You're aware of the tree that holds significance to us
You can be on my team yuh
You can join me and support me
You can sell me your dreams yuh
You can share your aspirations and ambitions with me
I'll just be in the bleachers
I'll be observing from the sidelines
Had to go home 'cause my feet hurt
I had to leave because my feet were in pain
I'm feelin' M.I.A.
I feel like I'm missing or absent
You know like paper planes
Similar to how paper planes fly away and disappear
You sent me sailing baby
You caused me to drift away or lose touch
Lost in space I'm crumbling
Feeling lost and emotionally unstable
If you say so
If that's what you believe or insist
Tell me how you feelin' for the day oh
Share with me your emotions and mood for today
Over complications made me playful
Challenging situations made me adopt a more lighthearted attitude
Never meant to hurt you it's ok though
I didn't intend to cause you pain, but it's alright
You're so great oh
You are amazing and wonderful
You ain't never had no one like me
You've never experienced anyone like me before
Might be the cutest thing ya ever done seen
I could possibly be the most adorable person you've encountered
Gotta make it home so I gotta keep it brief
I need to return home, so I have to keep this interaction short
Official on the 'gram gon' be like
People who follow us on social media will react in an official manner
You ain't never had no one like this
You've never had anyone like me before
Gotta take a shot so I hope I don't miss
I need to take a chance, hoping not to fail
Taking you back yeah it is what it is
Revisiting our past, accepting the reality of the situation
Taking it back man I always reminisce
Reflecting on the past, nostalgia always sets in
No one like me
There's no one else like me
You'll never find no one like me
You will never encounter anyone else like me
Can't explain it
I can't put it into words
Can't contain it
It's something too big or intense to be controlled
I hope you agree, no
I hope you understand and share the same sentiment
I want it all
I desire everything
I'm 'bout to jump but scared to fall
I'm about to take a leap of faith but afraid of the consequences
You can take your time
You can proceed at your own pace
And I'll take mine
And I will proceed at my own pace
B-b-but
However
I want it now
But I also want it immediately
Lost but I'm found
Feeling directionless but having a sense of purpose
For you
Because of your presence or influence
We lost it all to find a friend
We gave up everything to discover a true companion
It's hard to fall
It's challenging to take risks or let go
Beyond the edge
Venturing into unknown territory or uncharted territories
