People
Mi - Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People in the hallways, people love to meet
People in their feelings are locked in paradise
Look at all the people in the houses, people on the stairs
People and their visions, you'll see them everywhere
Atomic people, they'll all move away
It's mass exodus day today
People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
We're all laughin'
Look at all the people lose their meaning while others stand and stare
They don't move like clockwork, you'll see them in the air
The flying people, they'll express a way
It's mass exodus day today
People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
We're all laughin'
And what will happen to the family when the day comes
When the child no longer owes his existence to two biological parents
Genetic engineering, life can now begin in a test tube
And the idea both fascinates and appeals to me
Carbon copy people, are you a clone? - NO!!
People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
Oh they laugh ha-ha-ha
People, oh yes they're laughing at me now-ow
People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
Oh they laugh ha-ha-ha
The lyrics of Mi-Sex's song, "People," explore the diversity and complexity of human beings. The song talks about how people come in all forms and are found everywhere, whether it's in the streets, hallways, or houses. The first verse suggests that even if people are locked in paradisiacal feelings, they are still affected by their surroundings. The second verse talks about how people have different backgrounds and visions, which shape who they are. The song then segues into the pre-chorus, talking about atomic people who are about to move out or fly away.
The chorus of the song highlights various facets of human life, including laughing, walking, flying, singing, sighing, losing, trying, crying, living, and dying. The second verse talks about the idea of creating people artificially, and what the implications of genetic engineering and cloning might be. The song concludes by reiterating the chorus and indicating that people live their lives largely unaware of the observations of others.

I believe in my eyes this is their best hit, lyrically it speaks of the future with genetic engineering and it's chorus so catchy production wise.

I was lucky enough to see this band in concert. they were so awesome and sounded sooo good. Small theatre building in the 90's. God I miss the simple days of bands playing excellent music and sounding just like the recordings, sometimes better. What have we become :(
