I See You
Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And dreaming of the things I do
I don't speak, you don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do
I say nothing but stare at you
And I'm dreaming
I'm trippin' over you
Truth be told
My problems solved
You mean the world to me but you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see you
That I see
Conversations
Not me at all
I'm hesitating
Only to fall
And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone
Could it be you fell for me?
And any possible similarity
If its all, how would I know?
You never knew me at all but I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
Truth be told, my problem solved
You mean the world to me
But you'll never know
You could be cruel to me
While we're risking the way that I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
I'm standing across from you (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
I've dreamt alone, now the dreams won't do (But I see you)
But I see you
But I see you
But I see you
The song "I See You" by Mika is a mournful ballad about unrequited love. The first verse describes the situation where the singer is present with the person they love but unable to speak to or connect with them because of fear of rejection. The lyrics say, "I'm sitting across from you/ And dreaming of the things I do/ I don't speak, you don't know me at all/ For fear of what you might do/ I say nothing but stare at you/ And I'm dreaming/ I'm trippin' over you." The second verse continues with the same theme of hesitation and fear, "Conversations/ Not me at all/ I'm hesitating/ Only to fall/ And I'm waiting, I'm hating everyone."
Then comes the chorus, where the singer acknowledges the futility and heartbreak of their situation. They express their deep love for the other person but know that they will never be able to reveal it. The chorus repeats, "Truth be told/ My problems solved/ You mean the world to me but you'll never know/ You could be cruel to me/ While we're risking the way that I see you/ That I see you." The final verse and chorus are a repetition and intensification of the previous lyrics, culminating in the final line, "But I see you!" which is a declaration of the unrelenting love the singer feels despite the pain it causes them.
Overall, "I See You" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the pain of unable to express one's love to someone else. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation mixed with awe at the object of the singer's affection. Through the use of poetic language and a haunting melody, Mika has created a beautiful and tragic love song that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced unrequited love.

MIKA is the modern pop artist I have the most respect for by a long shot. He writes his own material, he's insanely talented as both a singer and a songwriter, and he's incredibly original. I can't think of another modern pop artist who can hold a candle to him.

Mika understands my pain. This song perfectly describes what my first love, hesitation, desperation, fear and anxiety, and my first heartbreak were all about. These lyrics, and the build-up of the melody and harmony, the way the chorus swells the deeper the song goes -- that was me and my stupid heart. Takes me back; gives me another measure of closure. Thank you, Mika.

Okay so I knew of this song before it was shown on Gossip Girl, but I think it's cool that people are getting to appreciate Mika's music through TV. Nothing wrong with that. :) Point is this song is amazing and everyone needs to know that!! ;p It was a perfect fit for that scene in Gossip Girl, btw. Mika is amazing. <3

Man, I forgot how much I loved Mika. I came here to listen to this because I'm singing it in choir and suddenly I've listened to an hour of Mika songs.
