I Need A Child
Olivia Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into my middle
I need a child
A wild one
Under my skin
A little bone
A speaking tree
I've got flowers exploding on my swinging tit's
So many flowers exploding on my swinging tit's
I need a child
My heart is a dead frog hauting on my broken throat
With the red lipstick stuck and his bleeding mooth
I can't breath
It's so cold, warm me up, feel me up, build me a child
I'm in bloom "boom" into my middle
I'm in blue boom into my heart
I'm in bloom "boom" into my middle
I'm in blue boom into my heart
Since the day of my brothers' birth
Oh brothers'-bird, I've understood
There's a mother exploding on my swinging tit's
So many flowers exploding on my swinging tit's
I need a child
The lyrics of Olivia Ruiz's "I Need A Child" speaks about the desire to have a child. The song is layered symbolically and speaks about the singer's longing to become a mother and the changes she feels in her body to become one. The chorus "I need a child, Into my middle, I need a child, A wild one" represents the maternal instinct to have a child that is part of her, grow inside her, and reflects the passion and intensity for the child she wants. The line "Under my skin, A little bone, A speaking tree, Is growing on me" symbolizes the growing embryo inside her womb that will eventually become a child. She feels the growth of the baby as a tree inside of her, adding to the imagery of nature and growth.
The singer's physical sensations are also described in the song as "flowers exploding on my swinging tits" which could reference the sensitivity and soreness a woman feels in her breasts during pregnancy as well as the blossoming of life happening within her. The line "My heart is a dead frog hauting on my broken throat" is a startling metaphor that suggests the singer's longing for a child could be so intense that it's as if her heart is dead and her voice is broken. The image of a dead frog was likely chosen because of the way its throat swells and pulsates even though it is no longer alive - a visualization for the pain and longing that's growing inside of the singer.
In the final lines of the song, the lyrics reference the singer's brothers' births and how it made her realize she wants to become a mother as well. She feels the growth of the baby inside her as a "mother exploding on my swinging tits." The intensity of her longing for a child is what makes her feel so deeply that she needs one.
