Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Mike Floss's song "Movie" describe a woman who looks like she should be in a movie, and the singer's desire to direct and feature her in his own film. The verse talks about setting up the perfect shots, working with the actress to bring out her emotions, and even questioning the authenticity of her feelings. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the lyrics are actually a metaphor for the singer's romantic intentions. He wants to create a perfect love story with this woman, and he's willing to go above and beyond to do it. The chorus of the song repeats the idea that she looks like she should be in a movie and that the singer wants to make her a classic.


Throughout the song, there are hints of the behind-the-scenes aspect of the entertainment industry. References to a "world premiere," "black bars for wide screen," and "designer decisions" allude to the filmmaking process. However, there are also hints of the unseen aspects of a person's life. For instance, the line "behind the scenes, there's a lot you never see" can be interpreted as the fact that everyone has a life beyond what they show to the world. Overall, the song paints a picture of a man who is infatuated with a woman and sees his life with her as a movie they're creating together.
