Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where no one ever goes.
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.
But the pain and the longings the same.
Where the dying
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.
Relax, take it easy
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you
It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm terrified
It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm playing with fire
Scared
It's as if I'm terrified
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times
It's clear
We don't understand it but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you
I believe that we're in this together
Don't scream, there are so many roads left
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you
(Relax)
It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm terrified
It's as if I'm scared
It's as if I'm playing with fire
(Relax) Scared
It's as if I'm terrified
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
Relax
In the first verse of the song "Relax," Mika paints a picture of a lonely journey. He took a right turn and ended up on a broken train where he doesn't know anyone. Despite feeling out of place and disconnected from the world, he still experiences the same pain and longing that he would anywhere else. Mika is lost and screaming for help, which sets the stage for the chorus.
The chorus is where the song gets its title and theme. Mika tells himself to relax and take it easy, accepting that there is nothing that can be done in the midst of the darkness and uncertainty. He reckons there is an answer to the darkest times, but that we don't understand it yet. Mika claims that he believes we're all in this together and that there are so many roads left to take, a hopeful word of encouragement amidst personal turmoil.
The second verse echoes the first in some ways, starting with Mika admitting that he feels scared and terrified, as if he's playing with fire. He then questions whether the listener is similarly frightened and unsure. This leads back into the chorus, which repeats the same three phrases, "Relax, take it easy," and "Blame it on me or blame it on you," suggesting that there is no blame necessary or worth assigning.
Overall, the song "Relax" speaks to the human experience of uncertainty and pain, encouraging the listener to take a breath and find a way to take it easy. The use of repetition highlights how simple yet important this message is, and the chorus acknowledges that there may not be clear answers. Mika ultimately leaves room for interpretation, but the song can be seen as an invitation to find comfort in the midst of darkness.
