Mirah – Don't Die In Me Lyrics 18 years ago
The mighty continents divided
For a second time in all history
They found themselves just floating
Free from all responsibility
Without the weight of being whole

-ok, basically a strong relationship ended. there was probably some problems in the relation ship because she mentions it was a weight to be whole (maybe a heavy burden to be together) and also the free from responsibility. resposibility of having to keep up with the relationship.

Some fruits evolved all on their own
-she grew strong. got over it.

But if you want something back
All the things that got cracked
When I felt like you lied to me
And all the million mistakes
And the kicks in the face

-perhaps he wants a friendship.

But i don't want you to die in me
So when you say what you want
That you need what you got
Don't forget to be kind to me

-she doesn't want to forget about him completely. she still wants him in her life because he was obviously a significant part of it, yet if he treats her like dirt, what can she do? and the need what you got may be that he has another woman.

Now here's an apple with a tougher skin
-she's more independent

While you've got your pretty scales and fins you say
See all the things that i can do
So perfectly my body moves but in
All the time you felt so free
Did you forget how much you once loved me

-yes, you're free now and you can be with pretty girls and such but don't forget what we had was something more than that.

And if you want something back
All the things that got cracked
When I felt like you lied to me
And all the million mistakes
And the kicks in the face
But i don't want you to die in me
So when you say what you want
That you need what you got
Don't forget to be kind to me
I don't want you to die in me

and i already explained that.


basically, i think its about strong relationship that ended and the aftermath. Her becomming stronger and realizing that she doesnt need him and if he continues to treat her poorly she will put him out of her life but she doesn't want to. she wants him to be nice so he wont be dead to her or "die in her"
