Feet On The Ground
Marla Glen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is coming and the day lives on
That's when my love goes slipping down
I think my heart is like a little child
When you beat it in the ground
I say come on
But who are you to go messing around
Feet on the ground
I'll try to see myself through it somehow
When my love goes slipping down
Not knowing where I'm going but
I'll make it somehow
And I'll think of you always
I say come on
But who are you to go messing around
I got to keep my
But who are you to go messing around
I got to keep my
Feet on the ground
The song "Feet on the Ground" by Marla Glen is essentially about the struggle to maintain stability and stay grounded in a relationship, despite the inevitable ups and downs. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as Glen sings about the sun coming up and the day continuing on, with or without her love. She then goes on to compare her heart to a little child that can be beaten down by the whims and actions of her partner, but she insists that she will stay strong and keep pushing forward, despite not always knowing where she's going.
The chorus sets up a question about the person she's singing to, asking them who they are to go messing around and creating chaos in her life. The repetition of the line "But who are you to go messing around" signifies a clear frustration and resentment towards the actions of her partner. She knows that she has to keep her "feet on the ground" to maintain stability and not lose herself entirely to this tumultuous relationship.
Overall, this song outlines the struggle to maintain a sense of self while being in love with someone who can lead you astray, as well as a plea for respect and stability within the partnership.
