Missed
Smolik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So fine, so light, so lost
Inside her world
I adore, I ignore

Deep hungry eyes, dress cut in a funny way
She's not the one but she gives a try
Left what she had, big dreams that be enough
Really thought she might win

But her time is up

Deep hungry eyes
She's not the one
Left what she had
Never thought she might win

Deep hungry eyes
Dress cut in a funny way
She's not the one
But she gives a try
Left what she had
Big dreams that should be enough

Really thought she might win
But her time is up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smolik's song "Missed" describe a woman who is lost in her own world, and despite her beauty and ambition, she ultimately falls short of her goals. The opening lines, "So fine, so light, so lost / Inside her world," evoke a sense of sadness and isolation. The singer, who is clearly smitten with the woman in question, "adores" her but also "ignores" her in some way.

The woman is described as having "deep hungry eyes" and wearing a dress that is "cut in a funny way." She is not the one that the singer is looking for, but he seems to admire her for trying to make something of herself. She has left behind what she had in pursuit of "big dreams," but unfortunately, these dreams are not enough to sustain her. Despite her best efforts, she falls short of her goal, and her time is up.

Line by Line Meaning

So fine, so light, so lost
I can see that she's delicate and lacking in direction

Inside her world
She lives within her own thoughts and feelings

I adore, I ignore
Although I care for her, I'm not engaged in her dreams and aspirations

Deep hungry eyes, dress cut in a funny way
She has an intense longing, but doesn't fit in with social norms

She's not the one but she gives a try
Despite not being the best fit, she's still making an effort

Left what she had, big dreams that should be enough
She gave up her past to pursue her ambitions, which she thought were sufficient

Really thought she might win
She had hoped for success

But her time is up
Unfortunately, the opportunity for her victory has passed
