Any Other World

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like any other Saturday I woke to the alarm
rolled so I could see your face, ran my fingers down your arm
peering out from our lonseome cage, watched the world come alive
and wondered if we'd see the end this time
You were humming while I fried the eggs, a tune I can't recall
was stuffing all the birdseed he could fit into his face
and I thought maybe all of this has been a waste
Later in the afternoon, for a way to pass the time
we huddled in the basement room and tried to cast a line
to the world outside our windows hoping somebody would hear
but the wires crossed and my heart sank in fear
I wish I hadn't lost my cool, but the anger it took hold
my darker side destroyed the mood at once we were both alone
it was written all across your face like graffiti on a wall
nothing outside could make me feel so small
I fumbled through apologies wishing I could turn back time
to a better place in history when we could go outside
shake the hands of strangers as we post up at the bar
Will anyone remember who are
The count continues to climb
as the days crawl by
I get lost in the woods of my mind
In Mika's song "Any Other World," he describes a typical Saturday in the life of two people, presumably a couple. The song starts with the singer waking up next to his partner, and they both go about their morning routine watching the world outside, wondering if that day would mark the end of it all. The lyrics then shift to describe a shared scene in which the couple fry eggs while a squirrel outside stuffs its face with birdseed. Despite the seemingly serene environment outside, the singer admits to feeling as though his life has been a waste.
As the day turns into afternoon, the couple spends time in their basement together, trying to communicate with the outside world but failing because "the wires crossed." This experience culminates in the singer's darker side taking hold, leading to a fight between the two. The singer realizes his mistake in losing his cool and tries to apologize, but the damage has already been done. The song ends on a more melancholic note as the singer grapples with his own thoughts, feeling lost and unsure of what the future holds.
Overall, the lyrics of "Any Other World" seem to convey a sense of isolation and disconnection between individuals and the world around them. Despite the serene environment outside their window, the couple in the song is struggling to connect with each other and the world at large. The lyrics also suggest that emotions can be overwhelming, leading people to lash out and create further disconnection.
