My Friend
Michal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I'm just sitting in the van
Waiting for my friends to come
So I can play them all a song
That hasn't any words
And I've got nothing left to do
So I'll start to play a game
But it hasn't any rules
And no one comes in second rate
Keep your guard up my friend
Or they'll catch you in the end
And you'd better run like hell
If you want to get away
And I can never find the keys
So I'll just sit out here and freeze
As the snow falls on my face
And dissolves the human race

Chorus:
Hey my friend they'll catch you in the end,
But don't you let them change you
I believe that if you stop to breathe
You'll only lose your breath
My friend they'll catch you in the end
Well I really must be off; a fool can never wait around
Or he might begin to learn that we're not as smart as he
But I want to find out why the world
Must always pass me by
And no matter how I try I will always come up short
But the music is inside and they can't get in your mind
So just sit right back and play all
The things you want to say
And I'll find you in the end and you can be my friend
And we'll sit and play a song that hasn't any words
Repeat chorus
Hey now don't you go away feeling so sad
All I ever meant to say was that if you need me




I'll be glad to lend a hand
Chorus (2x)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michal's song "My Friend" are deeply introspective, telling the story of a person waiting for their friends to arrive so they can play a song that has no words. The feeling of being alone is palpable, and the person begins to play a game with no rules just to pass the time. The chorus of the song acts as a warning to the person’s friend that they will eventually be caught in the end, but they should not let it change them. The verses are repetitive, circling around the themes of loneliness and feeling like they are never enough. However, the music is the one thing inside the person that cannot be taken away, and they can always find solace in it.


The chorus of the song is the most powerful part, representing the main message of the song. It’s about accepting that success is not everything, and simply enjoying the things that make life worth living. The second chorus especially highlights this, with the message that if you need someone, they will be there to lend a hand. The song's ultimate message is that we are not alone, and there is always someone who will be there for us.


Line by Line Meaning

So I'm just sitting in the van
I am waiting patiently in the van for my friends to arrive


Waiting for my friends to come
I am eagerly awaiting my friends to arrive


So I can play them all a song
I wish to entertain my friends by playing a song


That hasn't any words
The song I am playing does not have any lyrics


And I've got nothing left to do
I am done with all my tasks and have nothing else to do


So I'll start to play a game
I will engage in a game to pass my time


But it hasn't any rules
The game I am playing does not have any specific set of rules


And no one comes in second rate
In this game, there is no concept of coming in second place


Keep your guard up my friend
I advise my friend to be cautious


Or they'll catch you in the end
I warn my friend that they could be in trouble if they let their guard down


And you'd better run like hell
If they want to escape, they must run as fast as they can


If you want to get away
The only way to save themselves is by running


And I can never find the keys
I am unable to locate the keys


So I'll just sit out here and freeze
As I cannot find the keys, I will stay outside in the cold


As the snow falls on my face
The snow is falling on my face


And dissolves the human race
The snow makes humans less visible due to its white color


Chorus:
The repeating lyrics in the song


Hey my friend they'll catch you in the end,
The refrain of the song that warns my friend of their vulnerability


But don't you let them change you
I encourage my friend to be strong and true to themselves


I believe that if you stop to breathe
Pausing to take a deep breath can offer a moment of reflection


You'll only lose your breath
Stopping to breathe can distract and deplete your energy


My friend they'll catch you in the end
I repeat the warning that my friend could be in trouble


Well I really must be off; a fool can never wait around
I joke that a foolish person should not wait too long


Or he might begin to learn that we're not as smart as he
Waiting too long might make somebody learn that they are not intelligent as they thought they were


But I want to find out why the world
I am curious about the workings of the world


Must always pass me by
I wonder why I end up missing out on some crucial things in life


And no matter how I try I will always come up short
I will fail even if I try my hardest


But the music is inside and they can't get in your mind
I suggest that music can protect us from invaders of our thoughts


So just sit right back and play all
I recommend relaxation through musical entertainment


The things you want to say
Play the songs that convey your message or your story


And I'll find you in the end and you can be my friend
I will notice my friend's talent and we will strengthen our bond through music


Hey now don't you go away feeling so sad
I am telling my friend not to be depressed and stay upbeat


All I ever meant to say was that if you need me
The sole purpose of my song was to offer support


I'll be glad to lend a hand
I will always be there to help my friend in any way I can


Chorus (2x)
The repeating lyrics in the song
