Mía
Spencer Radcliffe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My little secret, don't tell anyone
Or else I'll never call you my friend
And I will never bring you to this place again
I swear
Then she gets so high
That she starts to cry, my little baby-o
She wants to know what it's like to die
But I say "don't you worry my dear friend,"
And "I will be here in the morning for you again."
I swear
And she goes where everybody knows her name
And thinks about the secret
And she wonders if I feel a sense of shame
I'm just hoping she can keep it
"Mia" by Spencer Radcliffe is a haunting song that tells the story of a man keeping a secret relationship with a woman named Mia. The song starts with a declaration of secrecy, as the man says that he will never bring anyone to the place where he keeps Mia, and he threatens to end the friendship if anyone finds out. This sets the tone for the song as we understand that there is something dark and hidden about their relationship.
The lyrics then focus on how Mia gets high and cries, and the man wonders why she wants to know what it is like to die. This is a particularly poignant moment in the song, as it highlights that there is something deeply troubling about Mia, and the man is aware of it. Despite this, he assures her that he will be there for her in the morning, showing that he cares about her in a twisted, secretive way.
