My Sister's Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby's gone home dancing with the stones
Now for her
New days dawn when she's dancing alone
Diva
Super-fied lovin' never coming down
Diva
Baby's earned her way lady love abound
There is no shame
And maybe when we die
There'll be no pain
Diva
Don't you leave me alone
Oh, diva
Don't you go away
Wonder child
Sky pilots waiting for an epitaph
Sing to me
It's their last chance for you autograph
Diva
Super-fied lovin' never coming down
Diva
Baby's earned her way lady love abound
Baby, you can cry
There is no shame
And maybe when we die
There'll be no pain
Diva
Don't you leave me alone
Diva
Don't you go away
The lyrics to My Sister's Machine's "Diva" are both introspective and uplifting. The song appears to be about a person who has passed away and is now a spirit, referred to as a "spirit child" in the lyrics. The singer seems to be addressing them directly, telling them that they are dancing with the stones and that new days are dawning for them now that they are alone. However, the lyrics are not necessarily sorrowful, as they also celebrate the spirit's life as a "Diva" who has earned their way and is now blessed with "super-fied lovin'." The singer continues to speak to the spirit, telling them that they are not alone and that they should not go away.
The lyrics to "Diva" could be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is that the spirit child represents a loved one who has passed away, and the singer is expressing their love and support for them in the afterlife. The repeated refrain of "Diva" could be seen as a way to celebrate the person's life, recognizing their unique qualities and the impact they had on the singer's life. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is coping with their own mortality, acknowledging that we may cry and experience pain in this life, but perhaps there will be no pain when we die.
Overall, "Diva" is a heartfelt song that touches on themes of love, loss, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
