Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i never felt so low, so low
like a waterful
my tears droped to the flor
they left
a swimming pool
of salted crimes crimes
what could i do
nothing
The lyrics to MIIA's song Sledgehammer are quite introspective and melancholic. The singer sings about feeling low, as if she had hit a wall. She describes her despair as being akin to a waterfall of tears that left a swimming pool of salted crimes. This metaphorical language hints that the singer has potentially made mistakes, and the tears represent her own disappointments in herself. She seems to be pained by the fact that she's unable to change someone's mind. The person she's addressing in the song seems to have made up their mind, and she feels powerless in the face of their decision.

My dear beautiful creatures, another single from my EP is out right now! It's called "Skin of a Fool" and is featuring the magical artist Vaarin✨You can listen to the song here: https://ffm.to/lpmn3m5 🎭(There's also a music video that was the first I ever wrote and directed myself). I want to tell you a bit about this song!
When we wrote it, it was my first time back in the studio in years. You see for a long time, I didn’t believe in my voice, and didn’t really feel worthy in a lot of ways at all. My friend Vaarin recognized herself in how I had been feeling. I said I didn’t talk to myself like a friend, and she said she felt like the skin of a fool...
Our inner critics often take up way too much space in us. For me personally, the worst part was the feeling of hopelessness. I couldn’t really see a way out of that dark, narrow headspace, where there was no room for self-love or a sense of strength. I felt scared. Like my body was failing to work properly. I ended up feeling stupid and ungrateful when I thought about bigger problems in the world, which were so much worse than my «issues». So I was even really angry at myself. But after I while I saw that undermining my feelings wouldn’t make anything better. I needed to face and accept the darkness to be free again.
Vaarin and I feel like this song has become a female force, because we put the love and admiration we have for each other, into it. Making this song and video helped us renew our strength! And we're getting better every day, at talking to ourselves like a friend. ❤Do you talk to yourself like a friend?
