There's a thousand ways to track you down
Whatever you said and done
There's a thousand ways to make it count
There is nothing that can touch me now
You can't even break me down
Every time you think of some
It's all ready been did and done
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come on walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air
'Cause tonight we ain't acting like we don't care
It's cool (it's cool) it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
It's cool (it's cool) it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
There's a thousand ways to meet you now
There's a thousand ways to track you down
Whatever you said and done
There's a thousand ways to make it count
There is nothing that can touch me now
You can't even break me down
Every time you think of some
It's all ready been did and done
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air
'Cause tonight we ain't acting like we don't care
Tryna feel like what that feeling's like
When someone makes you feel alright
We can take the same path tonight
For the ride I got plenty of time
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
That's how my roads getting longer and longer
My tracks are less traveled here to Uganda
Can we touch base just to discuss agenda
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air

It's cool it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
It's cool it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
Power, power, power, power

M.I.A. coming back with power power!
The song "Come Walk with Me" by M.I.A. speaks on the multiple ways one can connect with people in the digital age. The first verse of the song talks about the various ways people can be reached and how every interaction we make has already been done before. The chorus asks the person in question to take a walk with her, without any pretense of dancing or partying. She just wants someone to be with her and experience life's journey together. The second verse of the song says that the singer is looking for a intimate relationship but is okay with being just friends. M.I.A. asks to be shown some love but at the same time, she has something to offer back. The repeated line "It takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you" highlights that both parties must contribute to the relationship being successful.
Furthermore, the track also emphasizes the importance of communication in a relationship as M.I.A. sings, "Can we touch base just to discuss agenda." The song speaks about the importance of human connection and how it is essential to live a fulfilling life. The final message of the song is that she is coming back with power and that she is strong enough to navigate through any situation.

Like this song as an Indian and Hindu. Here's my take on what the Song & lyrics are about (for those who care). The Video obviously portrays lord Krishna's reincarnations but the lyrics is what is interesting here.
I think MIA wrote along the lines of Bhagavad gita and other holy preachings common/known in Hinduism like "there are 1000+ names for hindu gods", "god is present in every element" etc
"There's a thousand ways to meet you now...
Thousand ways to track you down...
....
Every time you think of some it is already been did and done"
I'm in no way a philosopher or hindu preacher but I can't help notice that the words sound like the Hindu preachings. Anyway, don't see this song as offensive. It is just weird, mildly amusing among the Katy Perry, Lady Gaga videos. Go MIA!
@bellaofphiladelphia
Im actually embarrassed
but simultaneously relaxed
this is the first thing i learned
about Sri Lanka.
Had to confess to my
friend that's a dual citizen
to India that I'm not a smartie
from the U.S....
This bops. So hard.
The whole album.
Looking to learn more.

M.I.A was ahead of the internet aesthetics game by literal years
@HelloMyNamelsBanana
A decade bruh
@ice9232
Bro i swear hindu art has been here for thousands of years
@NewRomancer37
@@ice9232 yeah I'm talking more about the way it's depicted with the creepy ethereal cgi and editing than the Hindu stuff tbh
@heavensuspended
Exactly
@lemurgulliver5354
That's because they are fakers that are imitating real people like her. That is just the truth.
@dontquityourdaydreams2416
Something about this song & video makes me feel unity. It's like we're all struggling together & that's okay, we don't have to pretend that we don't care. We all have those dark & lonely thoughts before bed. Such a trippy song, love it <3

This song is not a singer's achievement. It's an artist's achievement. I think it's calm, happy and sad at the same time. I really like it tbh.
