Miracle
Sir Sly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And say that you want more of me
The blood stains are on your teeth
And this is more than I can speak on
Speaking slowly
Know that I won't touch you
Breathe in slowly
I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
At all, at all, at all
Piss off and let me be
Digging down and underneath
The water's under the bridge
The times from when I was a kid
I'm speaking slowly
Know that I won't touch you
Breathe in slowly
Know that I can't love you
And I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
At all, at all, at all
Can't have a miracle at all, at all, at all
Speaking slowly
Know that I won't love you
I breathe in slowly
And know that I won't love you
I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
I just want what I can't have
And I can't have a miracle
At all, at all, at all
Can't have a miracle at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all
The lyrics of Sir Sly's song "Miracle" paint a dark and melancholic picture of longing and unrequited love. The singer seems to be addressing someone who has hurt them deeply, possibly a former lover. The command to "go home and wash your feet" could be interpreted as a demand for the addressee to cleanse themselves of their sins, both literal and metaphorical. The line "the blood stains are on your teeth" adds a visceral and haunting dimension to the imagery.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of distance and unwillingness to connect. The lines "know that I won't touch you" and "know that I can't love you" suggest both physical and emotional barriers to intimacy. The repeated refrain of "I just want what I can't have" emphasizes a sense of frustration and desperation.
The bridge of the song introduces a new element, with the singer asking to be left alone and reflecting on their own past. The line "the water's under the bridge" suggests a sense of nostalgia or regret for things that cannot be changed.
Overall, "Miracle" is a haunting and introspective work that explores the darker sides of human desire and connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Go home and wash your feet
Leave me alone and start anew, but first cleanse yourself of any past connections to me
And say that you want more of me
Admit your desire for me, despite the pain and chaos our relationship has brought
The blood stains are on your teeth
You have hurt me and it has left a lasting mark on our interactions
And this is more than I can speak on
The extent of the damage is beyond what I can bear to discuss
Speaking slowly
I am taking time to articulate my thoughts and emotions
Know that I won't touch you
I will not physically engage with you as a result of our turmoil
Breathe in slowly
Take a moment to calm yourself and be present in the moment
Know that I can't love you
There is a boundary between us that prevents me from reciprocating your love
I just want what I can't have
My desire for what is unattainable is a recurring theme in my life
And I can't have a miracle
My desire for the impossible cannot be fulfilled
Piss off and let me be
I am frustrated with your persistence and want you to leave me alone
Digging down and underneath
I am delving deeper into the root of my emotions and why I am unable to connect with you
The water's under the bridge
The past is in the past and cannot be changed or undone
The times from when I was a kid
My experiences and upbringing have shaped me in ways that prevent me from being with you
And know that I won't love you
My feelings for you cannot reach the level of love
At all, at all, at all
Not in any way, shape, or form can I love you the way you want me to
Can't have a miracle at all, at all, at all
I cannot fulfill your desire for a relationship, no matter how much you try or want it

This song speaks to me, the miracle I can't have is a cure for my mothers stage 3 lung cancer. This song makes me emotional but in a good way, thank you for speaking to me.
Vibe The Pyromancer

This is one of my greatest achievements
Tubby Custard
just did the same bro, feels crazy to travel back in time w this song
follow the light
these songs make me think back to a time when I was 19 and at a tough spot in life. I decided to travel to Goa alone on my bike. Turned out to be pretty messed up but one of the best things that has happened.
Alfredo Medina
