Instant Martya
MIKA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's an instant martya
A drama queen
she gets up like a style
cries like she used to
Walking around with this heir of a queen,
She doesn't knows what she wants
Knows how to use you...
(Oh)
Where are the stars up in the sky ,
isn't there hope for you and I, my darling?

I am so intolerably blue
At the thought of leaving you, my darling,
Honey pie.

(Ooh)
It's in her eyes
(sugar)
Gonna get you down
(Ooh)
It's no surprise
(lover)
Come around

She's the cream of the crop,
She's the cropper of the cream,
She's the turn of your life,
One in a million.
Walking around with this heir of a queen.
She doesn't knows what she wants

Knows how to use you now!

Oh,
where are the stars up in the sky
When you need them;
when you need them?
I am so intolerably blue
Just at the thought of leaving you, my darling,
Sugar pie .

(Ooh)
It's in her eyes
(sugar)
Gonna get you down
(Ooh)
It's no surprise
(lover)
When you Come around

She's staring at you (sugar)
Gonna get you down
She's looking so cruel (lover)
When you're coming around

Here comes the sun, little darling
Here comes the sun.




and here comes the sun, little darling
and here comes the sun.

Overall Meaning

Mika's song Instant Martya depicts a woman who is constantly seeking attention and drama. She is labeled as a "drama queen" who sheds tears and creates an air of royalty wherever she goes. She is confused about what she wants but knows how to manipulate those around her for her own benefit. The lyrics suggest that even though the woman is emotionally exhausting, the singer still finds it hard to leave her. The line "I am so intolerably blue at the thought of leaving you, my darling, honey pie" showcases the singer's internal conflict.


The chorus repeatedly asks where the stars are and if there is any hope for the singer in his relationship with this woman. He is stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and is struggling to find his footing. The lyrical language in “Instant Martya” is metaphorical and descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the woman’s behavior and its effect on the singer. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the chorus repeats “here comes the sun” four times, signifying that there might be a brighter future for the singer.
