Michal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flash; you're a picture in my heart
And I won't let you fade or die
So I guess it goes
Sigh; I imagine how you sigh
As you lie beside your love
Safe, supine not mine
Chorus:
Please believe me it's true

I'd waste my life on you
You are the only one I want
You are the only one I want
The only thing I'll die without
You are why I try
Live and be happy if you can
And know you bring me joy that way
Live anyway you can
Chorus (2x)
Happiness is the memories I can't have
Love is the people I have lost

Life is running from the end
Music is the space between the silences

Overall Meaning

In Michal's song Flash, the lyrics describe a deep, enduring love that the singer holds for someone who is no longer present in their life. The singer declares that this person is a 'picture in my heart' and that they will not allow this memory to fade or die. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, with the singer proclaiming that they would waste their life on this person because they are the only one they want, the only thing the singer would die without. The lyrics almost suggest that the singer is speaking to this person who has now moved on and found love elsewhere.

The second verse invokes a sense of longing and sadness, the singer imagining the other person sighing as they lie beside their new love, safe and sated. The singer, in contrast, is left behind, pining for someone who is no longer theirs. The lyrics urge the other person to 'live and be happy if you can' but it is clear that the singer struggles to find happiness themselves without this person. The final lines of the song convey a sense of melancholy, with musicality brought into the picture as the singer notes that in life 'music is the space between the silences'.

The song takes on a distinctly personal note, with Michal drawing on her own experiences to write the lyrics. The final result is a moving and emotional portrayal of love, loss, and longing.
