Mermaid
Manzana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She spent her time
Playing with the boy on the beach
They promised to love each other
No matter what the humans say
The boy grows into man and he wants to take a wife
Mermaid heart bleeds into the sea
Where are you going beautiful?
Don't you love me anymore?
Won't you come with me
Under the sea you can be breathing with me
It isn't make believe
You cannot bear a human child with that tail
Drink this says the witch and you will turn
Into someone else
And every step you take
You feel like walking on blades
When you change
He will start loving you
(It's a lie)
refrain
The song "Mermaid" by Manzana tells the story of a little mermaid who spends her time playing with a boy on the beach. They make a promise to love each other no matter what the humans say. However, as the boy grows into a man, he wants to take a wife and the mermaid's heart bleeds into the sea. The refrain questions the boy's love for the mermaid as she wonders why he no longer loves her, begging him to come under the sea with her where they can be together.
The mermaid's situation is further described as the witch tells her that she cannot bear a human child with her tail. The witch offers a solution for the mermaid to drink and turn into someone else, but warns her that every step she takes will feel like walking on blades when she changes. The witch promises that the boy will start loving her, but the mermaid realizes that it's a lie. The song ultimately explores the theme of the mermaid's unrequited love and her struggle to come to terms with the boy's inevitable departure from her life.
