MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A slow landslide
And the world we leave behind
It's enough to lose your head
Disappear and not return again
When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
You are the port of my call
You shot and leavin' me raw
Now I know you're amazing
'Cause all I need is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me
And I can live under water, under water, under water (ooh)
Under water (ooh)
Flying through a bright blue sky
With a space boy high
From the world I leave behind
It's enough to lose my head
Disappear and not be seen again
When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
All I see just don't make sense
You are the port of my call
You shot and leavin' me raw
Now I know you're amazing
'Cause all I need is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me
And I can live under water, under water, under water (ooh)
Under water (under water, under water, I can live under water)
With your love, I can breathe, I can breathe under water
Under water, under water, I can live under water
With your love, I can breathe, I can breathe under water
Under water, under water, we could live under water
With your love, I can breathe, I can breathe under water
Under water, under water, we could live under water
With your love, we could breathe, we could breathe under water
Mika's song "Underwater" talks about how overwhelming it can be to leave the safe haven we call home and venture out into the unknown. The lyrics, "bursting through a blood red sky, a slow landslide, and the world we leave behind, it's enough to lose your head, disappear and not return again," showcases the fear and anxiety that one may feel when trying to navigate this unfamiliar terrain. The disorientation and confusion continue with the line "all I see just don't make sense."
Despite the chaos and confusion, there is hope in the form of love. The lines "you are the port of my call, you shot and leaving me raw, now I know you're amazing," speak to the comfort and security that love can provide. The love is so strong that it can make one feel as though they can survive anything, even living underwater. The lyrics, "all I need is the love you breathe, put your lips on me, and I can live underwater" drive this point home. The song is about finding that one person who makes everything seem possible, even the impossible.
Overall, "Underwater" by Mika is a song about the tumultuous journey of life and how love can make it all worth it. It's a reminder that even when things seem hopeless and chaotic, there is something to hold onto, and that's love.
