World Princess Part II
Grimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me and everything I can't do
Not really bad day, just okay
I kinda think you sucked the life right out of the room
I know most likely
How I used to be a frail and silly thought in your mind
Don't be unkind
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's mine
It's mine
I saw the parade, big band, masquerade
So I'm thinkin' out on my feet
Back at the first page, shut the game, for you, it ain't
Oh, nothing else could be more complete
I know most likely
How I used to be a frail and silly thought in your mind
Call me unkind
You're so far behind me
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's mine
It's mine
Dim the light
In your head, in your heart, in your hiding emotion
Where the waters meet
Dim the light
In the head, in the heart, in your hiding emotion
Where the waters meet
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's fine
It's fine
It's mine
It's mine
It's mine
If I stare into the darkness, I won't know where I am
I haven't seen the daylight since I started giving in
My eyes are falling heavy, my feet are moving slow
Ion, from man in form, not a stone
The lyrics to Grimes/Musicfire.in’s song World Princess Pt. 2 discuss the singer’s big dreams and the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving them. The opening lines suggest that the world is limiting and small, but the singer recognizes that it is not necessarily a bad day – just an average one. However, she suggests that someone sucked the life right out of the room. This could refer to a person who is unsupportive or who brings negativity, hindering the singer’s progress towards her dreams.
The chorus suggests that the singer has grown and moved beyond the limitations of others. She can see beyond what others try to take from her and recognizes that she owns her vision and her dream. The second verse references a parade, a big band, and a masquerade, suggesting that the singer is ready to challenge the status quo and carve out her own unique path.
The song’s overall message is one of self-empowerment and the importance of owning one’s dreams, even in the face of obstacles and opposition. The repeated line “it’s mine” reinforces the idea that the singer’s dreams are her own and no one can take them away from her.
