M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you ever felt like you can't even feel?
You're faking the dream like you truly believe
When deep down inside you're just dying to scream
When that sun goes down and it starts to get cold
And you're left alone there with no one to hold
Behind bars no more love just Imaginary Hearts
Play their role leave you cold while the sun departs
They kept all your gold and they left you with strife
Your closest friend is loneliness you're trying to rest
Your heart is wearing thinner now you've got nothing left
When that sun goes down and it starts to get cold
And you're left alone there with no one to hold
Behind bars no more love just Imaginary Hearts
Play their role leave you cold while the sun departs
Deep down, in the pit of my soul
I've found hope for the heart that bleeds cold
Deep down, in the pit of my soul
I've found hope for the heart that bleeds cold
Deep down, in the pit of my soul
I've found hope for the heart that bleeds cold
When that sun goes down and it starts to get cold
And I'm left alone here with no one to hold
Behind bars my guitar and my ghost for a heart
Play their role keep me warm while the sun
"M.I.K.E.'s song 'Imaginary' expresses a sense of detachment and emptiness that many people may feel at times. The lyrics portray a feeling of unreality, where one is disconnected from their own emotions and can't even feel anything. The person in the song is going through the motions of life, pretending to believe in their dreams, but deep inside, they are longing to express their true feelings and scream out their pain. As the sun sets and loneliness sets in, they are left alone, without anyone to hold or support them.
The metaphor of "Imaginary Hearts" represents the lack of genuine love and emotional connection in the person's life. It suggests that the love they have experienced in the past or hoped for is now just an illusion or a memory, leaving them cold and isolated. The person feels imprisoned within themselves, their heart worn thin from the struggles they have faced. Loneliness becomes their closest companion, and they long for some respite and peace.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the song. The repetition of the lines "Deep down, in the pit of my soul, I've found hope for the heart that bleeds cold" suggests that despite the pain and emptiness, there is a flicker of optimism within the person. They have found a source of hope within themselves, a resilience that allows them to keep going even in the face of despair. The guitar and the ghost for a heart symbolize music and the power of creative expression as a source of comfort and warmth for the person.
Overall, 'Imaginary' captures the experience of feeling disconnected, pretending to be okay when deep down, you're struggling, and finding solace in the inner strength that gives hope even in the darkest times."
