Mike & Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday
Don't throw your dreams away
No, no, no, no
Keep them another day
Lovers of today
Just throw their dreams away
And play at love
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say, I love you
Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday
Lovers of today
Just throw their dreams away
And play at love
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say, I love you
Go out and have your fun
You better
Have your fun with anyone
But don't throw your love away
Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday
Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away, yay
The lyrics of "Throw Your Hands" by Mike & Me convey a message about the importance of not giving away love and dreams too easily. The song opens with the plea, "Don't throw your love away," emphasizing the value of love and the need to hold onto it. The repetition of "no, no, no, no" adds to the urgency and emphasizes the seriousness of the message.
The following lines, "For you might need it someday," suggest that love is not something to be taken lightly or casually discarded. It implies that love is precious and should be saved for a time when it is truly needed, emphasizing the importance of cherishing and protecting love.
The second verse mirrors the message of the first but focuses on dreams instead of love. It advises against throwing dreams away, urging listeners to keep them for another day, as they might be needed in the future. This could mean that dreams have the potential to fulfill and guide us towards our aspirations and goals, highlighting their significance in our lives.
The chorus reinforces the theme by depicting the superficiality and temporary nature of contemporary relationships. "Lovers of today just throw their dreams away and play at love" suggests that some people treat love lightly, exchanging it with anyone who says, "I love you." This emphasizes the importance of not following the patterns of the fleeting romances portrayed in modern society.
In the final section, the singer encourages listeners to go out and have their fun, but with a cautionary tone. They suggest enjoying the moment but not throwing love away in the process. This acts as a reminder to be cautious in relationships and to value love, suggesting that it should be shared with those who truly deserve it.
Overall, "Throw Your Hands" sends a message about not giving love and dreams away too easily, stressing the importance of cherishing them and waiting for the right time to fully embrace and share them.
