Missio: (miss-ee-o) - Latin for "mission." Inspired by the words "All are from the dust, and to the dust all return," Missio seeks purity in broken things through minimalistic songwriting.
The art of creating has become something that continues to show him that beauty and purity are found in all aspects of life. In times of emotional distress, he write songs. In times of invigorating happiness, he write songs. There has become an incredible comfort found in molding a blank canvas into a piece of art that he find to be extraordinarily beautiful.
Prior to Missio, he found himself writing songs in the name of fame, lured by the sweet distaste of vanity. He found very little enjoyment in this endeavor. Festivals and showcases were played and he would often dislike singing certain songs....but for the sake of success who cares, right? he had lost my desire to create and nothing meant anything to me any longer. He lost purpose and became blinded by the opinions of people he would never meet.
In August of 2013 he made the conscious decision to move into a 1974 airstream trailer, quieting my mind and focusing on my craft. He became inspired to create songs again, giving little thought to strangers opinions. Fifty two songs later he is ready to release a few of them. His desire in this endeavor is not an attempt to "grow my brand," He simply want to unite his family and friends into a lasting journey of sharing their gifts and love for the arts and its culture.
May you hear these songs and be inspired to find purity in the things that are broken.
Sing To Me
MISSIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said I look familiar
Did we meet the other night?
Somebody once told me that there's two sides to life
What's yours?
I might have accidentally let the darkness eat the light
And that's why
I prayed, I prayed
God sent me right to voicemail
It's like all day
My vanity is for sale
Take it away
My head is in my own hell
Sing to me
I am not doing well
Getting tired of my own words
Sing to me
'Cause I can't hear myself
Through the loudness of my own hurts
Call me selfish when I say this, say this
I'm kinda helpless, and I need you
Sing to me
'Cause I'm not doing well
Somehow I got nominated as a king of sadness
Got so much I know that I could even feed the birds
And that's why
I prayed, I prayed
God sent me right to voicemail
It's like all day
My vanity is for sale
Take it away
My head is in my own hell
Sing to me
I am not doing well
Getting tired of my own words
Sing to me
'Cause I can't hear myself
Through the loudness of my own hurts
Call me selfish when I say this, say this
I'm kinda helpless, and I need you
Sing to me
'Cause I'm not doing well
Somebody told me that there's two sides to this life
I think I might've chosen darkness over light
Sing to me
I am not doing well
Getting tired of my own words
Sing to me
'Cause I can't hear myself
Through the loudness of my own words
Call me selfish when I say this, say this
I'm kinda helpless, and I need you
Sing to me
'Cause I'm not doing well
Sing to me
I am not doing well
Sing to me
I am not doing well
The lyrics of MISSIO's song "Sing To Me" are a plea for help from someone who is struggling with their own thoughts and emotions. The opening lines suggest that the singer is talking to themselves in a mirror, possibly reflecting on their past experiences and trying to find meaning in them. They then express a sense of familiarity with the person they see in the reflection, suggesting a struggle with identity and self-awareness.
The next verse moves towards a more general philosophical reflection on the dualities of life, with someone else having told the singer that there are two sides to everything. The fear that they may have "let the darkness eat the light" suggests a struggle with depression or anxiety, with the darkness representing negative emotions and thoughts. The repeated refrain of "I am not doing well" and the pleading for someone to sing to them are indications that the singer is seeking comfort and healing from someone else.
The bridge of the song features a shift in tone, with the singer acknowledging that they have been "nominated" as the "king of sadness" and have much to learn about themselves and the world around them. However, this acknowledgement also comes with a sense of introspection, as the singer recognizes that they can sometimes be their own worst enemy. In the end, the repeated plea for someone to sing to them becomes a powerful expression of vulnerability and the need for human connection.

Talking to the mirror like I've seen him somewhere before

It's like, all day my vanity is for sale
Take it away, my head is in my own hell
