My Interpretation
Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything in between
Like it's nothing and the words are easy
You talk about me, you talk about you
And everything I do
Like it's somethin' that needs repeating
For you to realize
The things we left unsaid
Are only taking space up in our heads
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
And toss me up and down
Doesn't matter now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
The first two weeks turn into ten
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
It doesn't really matter
If half of what you said is true
And half of what I didn't do could be different
Would it make you better?
If we forget the things we know
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down
I can see that now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
Is splitting up such a sacrifice?
If I every talk to again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
'Cause this is my interpretation
In Mika's "My Interpretation," the artist addresses a tumultuous relationship where two people have very different perspectives. The song's lyrics imply that one person may be more vocal or entitled, while the other is left feeling unheard and disregarded. The first verse emphasizes how casually the other person talks about life and death, as if it were just any other topic of conversation. The second verse brings up how the other person speaks about the singer and their actions, as if they were obligated to comment on everything they do rather than just accepting and acknowledging them.
Line by Line Meaning
You talk about life, you talk about death
You discuss all aspects of life and death
And everything in between
And everything in between those two things
Like it's nothing and the words are easy
As if these are simple topics to talk about
You talk about me, you talk about you
You speak about both of us
And everything I do
And everything I do and my actions
Like it's somethin' that needs repeating
As if it is something that needs to be reiterated
I don't need an alibi
I don't require an explanation for anything
For you to realize
For you to understand
The things we left unsaid
Unsaid things
Are only taking space up in our heads
Are only occupying space in our minds
Make it my fault, win the game
Blame me and emerge victorious
Point the finger, place the blame
Blame me for the situation
And toss me up and down
Treat me like a toy
Doesn't matter now
But it doesn't matter now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
I don't care if we ever speak again
This is not about emotion
This is not about feelings
I don't need a reason not to care
I don't need a reason to not care
What you say, or what happened in the end
What was said or what occurred
This is my interpretation
This is how I perceive the situation
And it don't, don't make sense
And it doesn't make sense to me
The first two weeks turn into ten
As time passes
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
I wait anxiously for it to transpire
It doesn't really matter
But it doesn't really matter
If half of what you said is true
If only some of what you say is accurate
And half of what I didn't do could be different
And I could have done some things differently
Would it make you better?
Would it improve your situation?
If we forget the things we know
If we disregard what we know
Would we have somewhere to go?
Would we have a direction to follow?
The only way is down
But it seems the only direction is downhill
I can see that now
I now realize it
Is splitting up such a sacrifice?
Is breaking apart such a significant loss?
And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
And it doesn't need to make sense to you
'Cause this is my interpretation
Because this is how I see things
