One Mississippi
Zara Larsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One Mississippi, you're here
Lovin' me with your whole heart
And two Mississippi, we scream
To watch each other fall apart
Three Mississippi, you're gone
Sayin' that you're done, you don't want it no more
And four Mississippi, you're home
Like nothin' ever happened at all

Why do I stay?
I know I should leave
Mascara fallin' down my cheek
But you pull me in and make me forget
About the broken glass on our skin
We don't get scared when the sirens come
A little fucked up 'cause we think it's fun
We kiss just to make up, we love just to break up
We head for disaster, but live for the danger
We count

One Mississippi, you're here
Lovin' me with your whole heart
And two Mississippi, we scream
To watch each other fall apart
Three Mississippi, you're gone
Sayin' that you're done, you don't want it no more
And four Mississippi, you're home
Like nothin' ever happened at all

I like the way, that you set the scene
The way you breathe in your nicotine
I like the way it burns when you say goodbye
I like the way it hurts when you screw with my mind
Or am I fucked up that I think it's fun
That we don't get scared when the sirens come
We kiss just to make up, we love just to break up
We head for disaster, but live for the danger
We count

One Mississippi, you're here (here)
Lovin' me with your whole heart
And two Mississippi, we scream
To watch each other fall apart (Oh wow)
Three Mississippi, you're gone
Sayin' that you're done, you don't want it no more
And four Mississippi, you're home
Like nothin' ever happened at all

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(No, no, no, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

One Mississippi, you're here
Lovin' me with your whole heart
And two Mississippi, we scream
To watch each other fall apart

One Mississippi, you're here (here)
Lovin' me with your whole heart (with your whole heart)
And two Mississippi, we scream (Oh)
To watch each other fall apart (Ohh)
Three Mississippi, you're gone
Sayin' that you're done, you don't want it no more




And four Mississippi, you're home (home)
Like nothin' ever happened at all

Overall Meaning

One Mississippi by Zara Larsson is a song that explores a turbulent and tumultuous romantic relationship. The song's lyrics tell the story of a couple who are deeply in love but who also have a destructive and addictive dynamic. We start with the first Mississippi, with the singer acknowledging that her partner is here and loving her with their whole heart. However, we quickly advance to the second Mississippi where the couple is screaming at each other, seemingly enjoying the friction between them. By the third Mississippi, the partner has left, telling the singer that they do not want to continue the relationship. But by the fourth Mississippi, the partner has returned, as if nothing has occurred and the cycle can continue.


Throughout the lyrics, the singer questions why she continues to stay in the relationship even though she knows she should leave. The couple seems to enjoy the danger and excitement that comes with their conflict-filled relationship. Despite the pain and heartache that it causes her, the singer finds herself drawn back to her partner, who has a hold on her that she can't escape.


Overall, One Mississippi is a song that explores the complexity and sometimes messy nature of romantic relationships. It is a poignant reminder that love can be both uplifting and destructive, and that the line between the two can sometimes be blurry.
