This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
Out The Door
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't want to see me anymore
Just you say the words and I'll walk out the door
Yes, I'll walk out the door
If it's starting then it's starting
If it's ending then it's ending
If it's starting then it's starting
But should the day arrive
You don't want to walk up in the hill
With I and you're satisfied by all of the cheap thrills
And joy rides, well I won't cry, no I'll just wonder why
If the time should come
You don't want to see me anymore
Just you say the words and I'll walk out the door
Yes, I'll walk out the door
The song "Out The Door" by Mishka is a melancholic yet empowering song about acceptance and moving on. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the possibility of a toxic relationship, and they are prepared for the day when their partner decides to leave. The singer empowers their partner to speak up and say the words if they don't want to see each other anymore. The phrase "If it's starting then it's starting, if it's ending then it ended" suggests that the singer is at peace with the uncertainty of the relationship, whether it's the beginning or the end.
The second verse of the song reveals that the singer is aware of their partner's desire for cheap thrills and joy rides. They accept the fact that their partner may not want to walk up the hill with them to reach a deeper level of intimacy, and in case their partner decides to leave, they won't cry but only wonder why. The repetition of the first verse emphasizes the readiness of the singer, to walk out the door if the relationship is no longer serving them.

If the time should come
In the event that the time arrives
You don't want to see me anymore
When you no longer wish to be with me
Just you say the words and I'll walk out the door
You just have to tell me to leave and I'll be gone
Yes, I'll walk out the door
I will gladly leave without hesitation
If it's starting then it's starting
If something is beginning, it is beginning
If it's ending then it's ending
If something is coming to an end, it is ending
But should the day arrive
But in the event that the day comes
You don't want to walk up in the hill
You're no longer interested in going for walks in nature
With I and you're satisfied by all of the cheap thrills
And you're content with the cheap, superficial experiences we have together
And joy rides, well I won't cry, no I'll just wonder why
And if you choose to go for rides and have fun without me, I won't be sad, but I'll wonder where our relationship went wrong
