Girls
Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you cared enough to hit me up
Wish I were cool enough to not care
Wish I could just connect and not attach
Leave these feelings over there
I wish my well of emotions didn't run so deep
Wish I could turn the faucet off
I can fake blasé so damn well
But oh to truly turn it off
Tell me what is it like,
To not feel everything?
What's that day like,
For you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not get everyone
While no one ever
Gets you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not feel everything?
What's that day like,
For you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not get everyone
While no one ever
Gets you?
It would just be so nice
To put these feelings on ice
Block out the world
And be a cool girl
I wish you cared enough to want to see my soul
Wish I were cool enough to not care
Wish I could just connect and not attach
Leave my feelings over there
I wish I couldn't feel everyone else's emotions
Information overload
So tired of sensing the secrets of others
About ready to implode
Tell me what is it like,
To not feel everything?
What's that day like,
For you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not get everyone
While no one ever
Gets you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not feel everything?
What's that day like,
For you?
Tell me what is it like,
To not get everyone
While no one ever
Gets you?
It would just be so nice
To put these feelings on ice




Block out the world
And be a cool girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maria's song "Girls" are a reflection on the emotional toll that comes with being a sensitive and empathetic person. The singer wishes she could detach from her emotions and not feel everything so deeply. She longs for a day when she can block out the world and not be burdened by the weight of her feelings. The song highlights the struggle of empathetic people who often feel overwhelmed by the emotions of others.


The opening lines of the song express the singer's desire for connection, but also her fear of vulnerability. She wishes the person she cares about would reach out to her, but at the same time, she wishes she didn't care so much about being contacted. The chorus repeats the same question, asking what it's like to not feel everything and not have the burden of understanding everyone's emotions. The refrain "tell me what is it like" is a plea for someone who doesn't experience emotions so powerfully to help her understand what they go through.


The final lines of the song summarize the singer's longing for emotional detachment. She wishes she could be a "cool girl" and turn off her emotions like a faucet. The song offers a moving reflection on the pain of feeling too much and the desire to disconnect oneself emotionally from the world.

歌詞です。 

人の気持ちを知ったように書いたビジネスライクな雑誌で予習
言葉の意味をわかってるのか
こっちが心配になってくる

大きく見せてるところは可愛い
そのツケをどこにもってくるの?

自慢話を聞きにきたんじゃない
あなたは私をどうしたいの?
時間だってねぇ タダじゃないんだし
響かない言葉並べないで  

惨めなところ見せないで
このまま帰してもいいの?  

恋の始まりは理屈じゃないよ 
全然始まりそうになんかない
「熱しやすくて冷めやすいんだオレ」  そんなこと誰も聞いてないでしょ

ムダに共通点探ろうとしてる
がっかりさせないでもうこれ以上

追いかけたくなるくらいにさせてよ あなたは私をどうしたいの?
行くあてもない心が寂しい
響かない心を動かして

私だって笑ってたいの
誰かこの扉を開けて

寂しさを隠してた訳じゃなくて
静かにさせてこんな私を

自慢話を聞きにきたんじゃない
あなたは私をどうしたいの?
時間だってねぇタダじゃないんだし   響かない言葉並べないで
追いかけたくなるくらいにさせてよ あなたは私をどうしたいの?行くあてもない心が寂しい              響かない心を動かして

私だって笑ってたいの誰かこの扉を開けて
惨めなところ見せないで
このまま帰してもいいの?
