Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're coming on me
I know you not in the
You're coming on me
You're coming on me
And if you know
Do you wonder mission a bad
You can't and I just don't
Singin' with the
Do you wanna
Ah singin' no one is
You know where you wanna go
If you a first
Where you wanna go
And you got mission you a first
A ghost where you wanna go
Because you I can't I know
The lyrics to Grimes' (4) song Eight suggest a sense of confusion and being overwhelmed by another person's actions. The repetition of "you're coming on me" emphasizes the feeling of being pressured or crowded. The following lines "I know you not in the" suggest that this person is not someone the singer knows very well or maybe not even at all. However, there is a hint of a desire to get to know them better with the line "You know where you wanna go."
The second verse adds to the confusion with the line "Do you wonder mission a bad?" It's unclear what this means, but it could be interpreted as questioning the other person's intentions or wondering if they have ulterior motives. The following line "No you wanna go" could be a response to this concern, indicating that the other person just wants to leave or escape. The chorus repeats the same phrases, keeping the mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere of the song.
Overall, the song seems to convey feelings of anxiety and uncertainty towards someone who may be coming on too strong or unclear in their intentions.
