Heavy
Marías Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm heavy
I'm by your side
Forget me 'cause I know what I need, like a loser like me could be fine
I'm heavy
Alone inside
Don't tell me what I want, what I need, like a loser like me will be fine
Maybe I'm living in my head
Maybe I'm living to pretend
Maybe I wanna stay in bed
Far from the weight of the world in my hands 'cause they don't understand

Is someone telling me don't get in the water?
What have I done?
I don't wanna get lost inside the color under my tongue
'Cause I don't wanna be in love with another
Even in another life
Can someone tell me it's alright to be covered
Underneath the covers, but I
No, I don't need to sleep anymore

Is someone banging at my door?
When I just wanna be alone?
Is someone banging at my door?
Je ne sais pas qui est ici
Is someone banging at my door
When I just wanna be alone
Is someone banging at my door, door, door, door?
Door, door, door, door, at my door

Is someone banging at my door?
'Cause I just wanna be alone
Yeah, I just wanna be alone




I just wanna be alone
Yeah, I just wanna be alone

Overall Meaning

They feel weighed down by the world and find solace in retreating into their own thoughts and avoiding realities.

They prefer to stay in bed, away from the responsibilities and pressures of the world. The phrase "they don't understand" indicates a feeling of being misunderstood and possibly alienated from others.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions and thoughts.

The color under their tongue symbolizes a hidden desire or secret that they don't want to explore further.

I'm heavy, I'm by your side
Forget me 'cause I know what I need
Like a loser like me could be fine
I'm heavy, alone inside
Don't tell me what I want, what I need
Like a loser like me will be fine

Maybe I'm living in my head
Maybe I'm living to pretend
Maybe I wanna stay in bed
Far from the weight of the world
In my hands, 'cause they don't understand

Is someone telling me "Don't get in the water"?
What havе I done?
I don't wanna get lost inside thе color under my tongue
'Cause I don't want to be in love with another
Even in another life
Can someone tell me it's alright to be covered
Underneath the covers?
But I, no, I don't need to sleep anymore

Is someone banging at my door
When I just wanna be alone?
Is someone banging at my door?
Je ne sais pas qui est ici

Is someone banging at my door
When I just wanna be alone?
Is someone banging at my door, door, door, door?
Door, door, door, door, my door
Is someone banging at my door?
'Cause I just wanna be alone
Yeah, I just wanna be alone
I just wanna be alone
Yeah, I just wanna be alone
I just wanna be alone

Reminded me of how it's a common folk myth in my culture how marriage is a mutual union between partners for seven consecutive lives.
