Undeterred, MOJOFLY didn’t skip a beat and introduced Lougee Basabas as the band’s new frontwoman in only a matter of days. By year’s end the group joined the “indie” bandwagon with their self-titled EP, sold-out despite being available only in gigs. Thanks to the comeback hit Mata [Filipino for “eye”] and the revived, revv-ed up Lougee-version of Minamalas, the EP clearly defined the ambitious sound of the “new MOJOFLY”.
Even If
Mojofly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its been a while since ive seen you
Another day gone by without you
Another day of feeling low
I never thought itd be this way
My image of you changed my world
But I want you to know
Im not looking for a one night stand
Ill be the best you've ever had
Cause ive been trying for so long
To tell you
Youre the only one for me
Just say the word and I will be there
Even if you wont be comin around
I know Im not a saint
But the things you heard about me
You know theyre not true
I think about you everyday
My intentions are clean
Maybe Im such a dreamer
But I know I can do this right
With you theres no tommorrow
The song "Even If" by Mojofly is an honest expression of unrequited love. The singer of the song is still interested in a person who he/she has not seen for a long time. The song is infused with the singer's longing and desire to be with the person. The opening lines of the song establish this longing right from the start. The singer wonders what the other person is doing and laments the fact that it has been so long since they have met.
The singer is sad and lonely in their absence, and each passing day makes it harder. These emotions are conveyed through the lyrics 'Another day gone by without you, Another day of feeling low'. The chorus 'Just say the word, and I will be there even if you won't be coming around' reveals the singer's resolve to be there for the person they love, no matter the circumstances. The singer is not looking for a one-night stand but a meaningful relationship, asking the person to dance with them and come closer as they promise to be the best they've ever had.
Towards the end of the song, the singer admits that he/she is not a saint, but the things the other person might have heard about them are not true. He/she claims that his/her intentions are pure and that they have been dreaming of a future with them. The song encapsulates the feeling of unrequited love that is characterized by longing, sadness, and hope.
