Mona
INDIGO VELVET Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mustn't be good
For your health
Trying to pick a fight
With yourself
It's safe to say you're just like everyone
Wash it away
Permanent stains
You're free now
Your wandering eyes come back to me
Haunted by your frequent history
Mona
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
Let's [?] it
Cos I'm on the wrong side of town
But I'm on my way
So put on your face
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
Cos here in the lion's den
Is arguably
The safest place that I would ever wanna be
I missed my chance
I'm gone
A fabulous flick of the wrist
Is magic
A stream of your colourful tears
Is tragic
It's amazing that you care
You've been saying that all year
Mona
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
Let's [?] it
Cos I'm on the wrong side of town
But I'm on my way
So put on your face
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
A fabulous flick of the wrist
Is magic
A stream of your colourful tears
Is tragic
It's amazing that you care
You've been saying that all year
Mona
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
Let's [?] it
Cos I'm on the wrong side of town
But I'm on my way
So put on your face
Can you feel it?
I know you don't want me around
The opening lines of INDIGO VELVET's song "Mona" paint a picture of a person wandering the streets at night, lost in their own thoughts and possibly trying to stir up trouble. The singer acknowledges that this behavior is not good for their health, but also recognizes that this person is not alone in feeling this way. The chorus centers around a character named Mona who the singer knows doesn't want them around, but the singer persists in trying to connect with her. The line "I missed my chance, I'm gone" hints at a missed opportunity for a relationship with Mona, but the singer still believes there is hope.
The second verse continues the theme of desiring connection with Mona, despite the odds being against them. The lyrics describe Mona's tears as "colourful" and "tragic," suggesting a complexity of emotions that the singer finds compelling. The verse ends with Mona repeating the phrase "you've been saying that all year," perhaps indicating that the singer has been trying to reach out to her for some time. The chorus is repeated twice more, with the singer expressing their determination to reach Mona.
Overall, "Mona" tells a story of someone who longs for connection with another person, despite the obstacles in their way. The song's lyrics are poetic and evoke a sense of longing and uncertainty, while the upbeat music adds a sense of energy to the track.
