Mía
Soulcage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Letters requested
Calls unreturned
A visit dismissed
And invitations burned
Trapped between the lines
Spent more than earned
We’re a herd of fools
Being led astray

So keep appearing
With you
And not disappearing
With you

Shattered mirrors
Faces turning away
A relative distance
Is stretching the day
Sinals dressed by elders
That choose to pray
We’re a herd of fools
Being led astray

If we can’t find ourselves
We’ll find someone else
And if we can’t find your wealth
We’ll ring the bells




And if we can’t find ourselves
We’ll follow someone else

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soulcage's "MIA" speak to the confusion and frustration that can arise in relationships when communication breaks down. The first verse lists a series of attempts to connect with someone who is not responding - letters, calls, and invitations - and the feeling of being trapped in between lines that are not being crossed. The second verse describes a distance and disconnect growing between people, evidenced by shattered mirrors and faces turning away. The lyrics suggest that the individuals involved in the relationship are part of a "herd of fools" being led astray, implying that their failure to communicate and connect is leading them in the wrong direction.


The final verse shifts to a more optimistic but still uncertain tone, suggesting that if the relationship cannot be repaired, those involved may try to find support, solace, or fulfillment elsewhere. They may follow someone else or ring the proverbial bells, hoping to be heard and seen in other ways. Overall, the lyrics of "MIA" convey a sense of longing for connection, frustration with barriers to communication, and a vague hope for continued growth, even in the midst of relationship breakdown.
