Believer
MiMi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sea is fine alley napping the wolf is out to lunch
The sky is not the limit and I bake pies
I am a believer
Pouting through the triangle of Bermuda
Swinging your mood and your fancy pants
Trying to creep on through to cloud nine
I have half a mind to blow your mind
Stepping through a mine field of I told you so's
Tip toeing in tap shoes with so and so
I ask you face to face and nose to nose
Are you a believer — I am a believer

Call me pussy pussy little kitten
I bind my foot to shut your mouth
Come close and tickle me pink
Sugar sweet sweet — mouth watering treat me like a
Queen

Are you a believer — I am a believer
The sea is fine alley napping the wolf is out to lunch
The sky is not the limit and I bake pies
I am a believer

I hear their bodies pop under my shoe
They speak in tongues and tiny circles
Loop de loop here we go loop de loo

No one dare call me a liar
You are the eighth or ninth or tenth wonder
Me I'm hollow not shallow
But fierce like Bruce Lee
I am a believer Are you a believer

Call me pussy pussy little kitten
I bind my foot to shut your mouth — come close and
Tickle me pink
Sugar sweet sweet mouth watering treat me like a queen
The world is my absolute oyster in the innocence of
Outer space
Here in the void of Alice you're it na na nana na





Loop de loop here we go loop de loo
Are you a believer I am a believer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MiMi's song "Believer" are somewhat abstract and open to interpretation. The song appears to be about the singer's conviction in her beliefs and values, no matter how unconventional or unpopular they may be. She expresses this in the opening line by stating that she is a believer, even though the sea appears calm and the world may seem indifferent. She also suggests that others may try to sway her from her beliefs, hinted at in the line "stepping through a minefield of I told you so's" and "tip-toeing in tap shoes with so and so."


MiMi further emphasizes her confidence and determination in the face of adversity by saying that she is "fierce like Bruce Lee." She also references her own independence, comparing herself to a queen and describing the world as her oyster. The line "the sky is not the limit and I bake pies" may be interpreted more metaphorically than literally, suggesting that she is capable of achieving anything even if others underestimate her.


Despite the song's strong themes of self-belief and confidence, there are also moments of vulnerability. The line "call me pussy pussy little kitten" may suggest that MiMi is aware of how others may perceive her or try to belittle her, but she is prepared to fight back and hold her ground. Ultimately, the chorus repeats the statement "are you a believer? I am a believer," reinforcing the idea that the singer has a strong sense of self and is unafraid to stand up for her beliefs, even if that means going against the norm.
