Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it
I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over
My oh my
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
Say you like me,
But not with changes?
Shut up and forget it
These are my faces
All these colors
That surround me
All these places
Only drown me
I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost everyday
And everyday I push him off and tell him boy we're over
My oh my
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own
What's a matter
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you here for, I don't need it
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
Happy on my own
The song "One Foot Boy" by Mika is a statement about a person's desire to be independent and happy with oneself. The song is about the singer's journey towards self-acceptance and finding contentment in being alone. The lyrics of the song are a strong rebuke of the societal dogma that one must have a partner to be happy or successful. The chorus of the song with the repetition of the phrase "One foot boy" makes a reference to the singer's struggles with falling back to old habits of trying to find love and validation in others, represented by the "one foot boy" who sits on a protagonist's shoulder.
The opening verse of the song has the singer expressing their displeasure with the people around them who judge them for not wanting to settle down. The singer rejects the idea of going places with someone, saying that "what you're here for, I don't need it". The second verse shows the singer's struggles with their own self-doubt and how they feel like they have gone crazy for choosing to be alone. The chorus of the song then reaffirms the singer's resolve to stay happy on their own.
Overall, the song is a powerful message of self-love and acceptance. Mika's use of catchy beats and repetitive lyrics make the message of the song more powerful as it grasps the listener's attention.
Line by Line Meaning
What's a matter
Why is it a problem
With going places?
Traveling and exploring new locations seems to be frowned upon
Take that gross look off your faces
Stop expressing disgust or disapproval with facial expressions
Empty loving makes me seasick
Superficial relationships make me feel nauseous
What you're here for, I don't need it
I don't require what you have come for
I'll say nothing on your microphone
I refuse to say anything on your behalf
Till you swear to take me home
Unless you guarantee to escort me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
There's a miniature version of myself on my shoulder
He's sitting on my shoulder
The tiny version of myself is sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away
I'm afraid to divert my attention from the tiny version of myself
He comes here almost every day
The miniature version of myself visits me frequently
And every day I push him off and tell him boy we're over
I attempt to remove him from my shoulder and end this relationship, but it's difficult
My oh my, I think my mind is gone
I believe my sanity is rapidly deteriorating
I'm left here wondering, was I crazy all along?
I'm trying to determine if I've been insane the entire time
What do I do? Nothing left but pray
I don't know what to do except pray
Gonna shoot somebody
I'm so frustrated that I want to harm someone
Help me drive this craziness away
Assist me in removing this insanity from my mind
I'm happy on my own
I find contentment in being alone
One foot boy!
The miniature version of myself, symbolizing my insecurities and doubts
Say you like me, but not with changes?
Do you truly like me for who I am, or only under certain conditions?
Shut up and forget it
Stop talking and abandon that idea
These are my faces
These feelings and expressions come from my inner self
All these colors that surround me
The vibrant surroundings around me
All these places only drown me
But they don't provide any solace or assistance
