Marmozets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High tension
You're stuck in the back of my mind
Oh, I apologise
But soon its fine
Replay
My mind gets carried away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence
(Ooh) its meant to be
(Ooh) its meant to be

Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence
(Ooh) its meant to be
(Ooh) its meant to be

Bad intentions
All the wrong reasons
To go out and play
You're breaking hearts
Each and every day
And if I may
It ain't the first time I've seen it before
I know its fun
Yeah yeah

Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence
(Ooh) its meant to be
(Ooh) its meant to be

Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence
(Ooh) its meant to be
(Ooh) its meant to be

Never expect
Never assume
Never ask
Or never demand
I don't care I don't care I don't care
I'm just being honest with you all

Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence

Its meant to be
Its meant to be
Get get get get get
Its meant to be

Stand up
Get loose
Get over it
Skip your body into my confidence
(Ooh) its meant to be
(Ooh) its meant to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marmozets' song "Meant to Be" convey a sense of tension and ambiguity. The opening lines suggest that there is some unresolved conflict or unease that has lodged itself in the singer's mind. They apologize for this lingering tension, but also express hope that it will soon be resolved. The repetition of the phrase "Yeah yeah yeah yeah" implies an internal struggle or frustration that persists despite their attempts to move on.


The chorus commands the listener to "stand up," "get loose," and "get over it," encouraging them to let go of whatever is holding them back. The phrase "skip your body into my confidence" is intriguing and can be interpreted as an invitation to open up emotionally and trust in the connection they share. The repeated refrain of "it's meant to be" reinforces a sense of destiny or inevitability, suggesting that whatever obstacles they face, their bond is meant to endure.


The second verse further explores the theme of conflicting intentions and the consequences of playing with others' emotions. It hints at a pattern of heartbreak and a recognition that this behavior is not unfamiliar. Despite this, there is a sense of acceptance or even enjoyment, as the singer acknowledges that it can be fun. This demonstrates a complex mix of emotions and a willingness to confront the reality of their actions.


The final verse emphasizes a sense of honesty and nonchalance. The lines "Never expect, never assume, never ask, or never demand" suggest a detachment from expectations and a refusal to conform to societal norms. The singer asserts their unconcern and straightforwardness, expressing their honesty and authenticity.


Overall, "Meant to Be" can be interpreted as a reflection on the ups and downs of relationships, the vulnerability and tension that can arise, and the acceptance of one's own flaws and tendencies. It explores the complex dynamics of connections, both positive and challenging, and celebrates the power of authenticity and honesty in navigating them.
