Mia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It grabs at me like I'm money.
The stars are bangin' close to me,
As I'm floatin' in a life odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I floating around in space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
Like Puzzel Bubble on PC,
It's got color waves following me.
And I still judge it week by week,
And I'm head of time, so you'll never lose me.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
Ooh, ah, ah ah
Can I take a minute or two,
To introduce my point of view.
I need to spend some time with you,
There's nothing more new on the news.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
Mia's song "Space" is an introspective look at the feeling of isolation and detachment from the world that can come with success. She uses the metaphor of "floating in a life odyssey" to represent the feeling of being adrift and disconnected, with gravity being her enemy pulling her down. The reference to stars being close to her could imply a sense of being on top of the world or in the limelight, but also highlights how even in that position, she feels alone.
The lines "My lines are down, you can't call me" expresses a sense of being unreachable and untouchable, as if she's disconnected from reality. She compares her experience to the colorful and chaotic game Puzzle Bubble, where color waves follow her, but she still judges her experience week by week. This could represent the unpredictability of fame and the constant need to adapt and evolve to stay relevant.
The last verse is a plea to connect with others and regain a sense of perspective. Mia wants to share her point of view and spend time with the listener, as she realizes that despite being on top of the world, there's nothing new on the news. Overall, "Space" portrays a complex mix of emotions that come with success, including isolation, detachment, and the need for connection.
