Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stripping slowly, thank God
I'm not blind, hmm
And even when I close my eyes
I see things I've never felt
In this life of mine, yeah yeah
My mind swims up in the sky
Come and float and around with me
Up here (up here)
It's cool (it's cool)
Let's stay
Up here and never come down
Let's just fly away
Ooh
I know you got somewhere else
To be but I want you right here with me, yeah yeah
Floating in the greatest love
Glad you grabbed me while I was shaking, ooh
Now I'm floating
Up here with you
Up here (up here)
It's cool (it's cool)
Let's stay (let's stay)
Float up and never come down
Let's just stay away
The lyrics of "M1" by Nick Hakim speak to a state of transcendence and escape from reality. The song paints a picture of a mind that is immersed in a dreamlike state, where the boundaries between the conscious and subconscious blur. The opening lines, "You've been dripping in my mind, stripping slowly, thank God I'm not blind," suggest that the subject of the song has deeply infiltrated the singer's thoughts, gradually revealing layers of vulnerability and truth. Even when the singer closes their eyes, they experience something beyond their usual reality, a new and profound sensation. This alludes to the idea that love and connection have the power to transport us to a higher plane of existence.
The chorus, "Up here, it's cool, let's stay up here and never come down, let's just fly away," reinforces the theme of escapism. Being 'up here' implies being in a state of emotional or spiritual elevation, detached from the burdens and limitations of the world below. It is a place of safety and freedom where time stands still. The lyrics express the desire to remain in this state of bliss indefinitely, to avoid returning to the mundane and ordinary.
The second verse underscores the singer's longing for companionship in this alternate reality. They acknowledge that the person they desire has their own obligations and commitments, but they yearn for them to be present in this transcendent space. The line "Floating in the greatest love, glad you grabbed me while I was shaking" reveals a sense of gratitude for being caught in the midst of vulnerability by the object of their affection. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the desire to remain in this ethereal state, suggesting that the singer has found solace and liberation in this realm of the mind.
