Ooh Mama
Duvchi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you very much
Miss you very much
You should come on down
Come and put your name on my head
Your tissue dries every time you cry
Every time you cry
I miss you, miss serious
Now I'm learning origami
Just enough to make a lotus flower
And as soon as I am done then I'm down

Ooh mama
Yeah I don't paint anymore
Looks like the rain goes aligned, goes around
I don't do much anymore
Philosophy while I'm watching Columbo, my god
What's in my heart is surreal
Then I grab my pen and I feel
That my hand went numb
So I don't paint anymore love
And you don't paint anymore

I miss you very much
Miss you very much
You should come on down
Come and put your name on my head
Six in the morning, I'm at your door
Will you let me in?
While I'm weeping in spring

Ooh mama
Yeah I don't paint anymore
Looks like the rain goes aligned, goes around
I don't do much anymore
Philosophy while I'm watching Columbo, my god
What's in my heart is surreal
Then I grab my pen and I feel
That my hand went numb
So I don't paint anymore love
And you don't paint anymore

Yeah I don't paint anymore
Looks like the rain goes aligned, goes around
And don't do much anymore
Philosophy while I'm watching Columbo, my god
What's in my heart is surreal
Then I grab my pen and I feel
That my hand went numb




So I don't paint anymore love
And you don't paint anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Duvchi's "Ooh Mama" express a deep longing for someone who is absent. The repeated line "I miss you very much" underscores the singer's deep feeling of loss, which is compounded by the fact that the person they miss is out of reach - they urge them to "come on down" and put their name on the singer's head, but this imagery emphasizes the distance between them. The singer also references the other person's tears and their own sense of loss with the line "Your tissue dries every time you cry", which is a powerful and evocative image of grief.


The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has lost their creative spark. They no longer "paint" and instead spend their time watching TV and contemplating philosophy. The line "What's in my heart is surreal" suggests that the singer is going through a difficult and confusing emotional time. However, towards the end of the verse, the singer decides to pick up a pen, but finds that their hand feels "numb". This could be interpreted as a creative block or a sense of being stuck.


As a whole, "Ooh Mama" portrays a sense of longing and a feeling of being stuck. However, the final line of the song, which repeats the refrain that the singer and the person they miss don't paint anymore, suggests a level of acceptance - they may miss the other person and their creative spark, but they recognize that things have changed.
