Maria Marie
Thieves Like Us Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took my heart / you took my time
Maria Marie you're in decline
Look in the mirror see the lines
Maria Marie you′re cool as ice
Maria Marie it's in you're eyes
Maria Marie take my advice
I can′t sleep with you outside
I don′t want another fight
It's no wonder that you still don′t know me
Maria Marie you're so unkind
I guess you are no friend of mine
Maria Marie you′re just a sign
Of days gone past and former times
Maria Marie you're on my mind
You took my heart you took my time
Maria Marie you′re cool as ice
"Maria Marie" by Thieves Like Us is a pleading and reflective song about a past lover who still haunts the singer's thoughts. The repetition of her name throughout the song emphasizes her presence in his mind, as she took both his heart and time. The first verse describes her decline, noting that lines are visible on her face, while also acknowledging her cool demeanor. The second verse takes a turn, with the singer pleading for her to stop calling him at night because he can't sleep with her outside. He doesn't want another fight with her, and wonders why she still doesn't know him. The last verse brings the song full circle, repeating the first verse and highlighting the impact she still has on his thoughts.
The song is a window into a tumultuous relationship, where the singer struggles to move on from the past. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the hold that Maria Marie has on him, making it difficult to let go. The singer's pleading in the second verse shows his vulnerability, as he recognizes that he cannot handle the drama that comes with their relationship. The overall message of the song is one of acceptance - that some relationships are not meant to continue, and we need to let go in order to move on.

Maria Maria estas en mi mente
Tomaste mi corazón Tomaste mi tiempo
Maria Maria estás decayendo
Mira al espejo ve las lineas
Maria Maria eres fría como el hielo
Maria Maria está en tus ojos
Maria Maria toma mi consejo
Por favor para de llamarme en la noche
No puedo dormir contigo afuera
No quiero otra pelea
No es sorpresa que todavía no me conozcas
Maria Maria eres tan cruel
Supongo que no eres mi amiga
Maria Maria solo eres una señal
De días pasados y tiempos anteriores
Maria Maria estás en mi mente
Tomaste mi corazón, tomaste mi tiempo
Maria Maria eres fría como el hielo
