Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?
I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
How can I help what you think?
Hello, my baby
Hello, my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?
I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?

In Mika's song "Grace Kelly," the singer questions why he is not liked by someone. He wonders if he is too dirty, too flirty, or if they simply do not like what he likes. He expresses his desire to be accepted and loved, but struggles to find his identity. He likens himself to Grace Kelly, but finds her looks too sad for him. He then tries to be like Freddie Mercury and finds that he has gone "identity mad." The chorus repeats the idea that he could be any color, any demeanor, or anything they like, but questions why he is still not liked. In the final verse, he asks if he should change himself to fit what the other person wants, but he acknowledges that this would not solve the issue.
The song explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The singer feels like he has to change himself to be liked and accepted. He tries to emulate famous figures, but struggles to find a balance between being someone else and being himself. The repetition in the chorus, paired with the changing lists of possible characteristics, highlights the feeling of being lost and unsure of oneself.
