Mine
Fay Wolf Lyrics

Mine

i lost the thing
the ring that was never mine
i fall asleep and sing
these lines mine mine mine mine

There was a love
a right way to survive
i couldn't help but die
mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine

so what's in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage
or is it time to turn the page

can not believe
i believed i could have
one step ahead of the last
i'm not above the past to show me how
i am a brand-new fucking shiny ball of wow wow wow mine mine is it mine mine

so what's in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage
or is it time to turn the page

so what's in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage
or is it time to turn the page

on the thing the thing
was never mine mine
is it mine mine

i fall asleep and sing
i fall asleep and sing




i fall asleep and sing
i fall asleep and sing

Overall Meaning

The song "Mine" by Fay Wolf explores the theme of ownership, possession, and self-identity. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer expressing loss over something that was never theirs to begin with. This creates a sense of longing and uncertainty that leads into the chorus of asserting ownership, repetition of "mine" emphasizing the need to stake a claim over something.


The second verse reveals the singer's love for someone or something that was the "right way to survive", hinting at the idea that this possession or relationship provided comfort and stability. However, this comfort was fleeting and ultimately led to the singer's demise, leaving them with a desire to reclaim the lost comfortable and safe status.


The repeated lyrics of "so what's in store for our heroine" emphasize the idea of struggles and conflicts faced by the singer of the story, leading to the ultimate question of whether they will be able to overcome these obstacles and gain ownership of what they are seeking, or if it is time to move on and find something new.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a representation of the human desire to hold onto things that they believe are meant to be theirs, leading to a sense of identity and self-worth. It explores the struggles that come with this need for control and ownership, highlighting how sometimes the things we think we possess, don't really belong to us.
