| Mika – One Foot Boy Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I'm pretty sure it's eleven stone, though it is a confusing line. A stone is a measurement for weight in England which is equal to fourteen pounds, which would mean that this small boy is 154 pounds. The way I think of it is that the 'one foot boy' is his conscience, kind of like the angel-devil scenarios. His conscience(or decision or what have you) is weighing on him like a heavy burden, which would explain the 'eleven stone' part. |

This probably isn't completely accurate, but this is how I view the song. Starts out with a girl named Georgia. Lives in a presumably small town where everyone loves her; she's sweet, beautiful, and talented. People there have no doubt that she'll move to California and become famous. So she does. [This is where my interpretation becomes false; I don't know if April is supposed to be another person, but I like it this way, haha] She changes her name to April and, while she's in California, her success leads to her corruption. She's living a completely fake life and when she loses her fame, she has nothing left. She had been relying on her money and fame and now that that's gone, she'll settle for whatever [and whoever] she can get. All she wants is to be able to go back to when she was young, innocent, and had the hope of a great life ahead of her. |

I love this song so much. :) Though it isn't written here, there's a spoken part at the beginning that I love. "So I was sitting there in the bar and this guy came up to me and said, 'My life stinks.' And I saw his gold credit card and I saw the way that he was looking at people across the room and I looked at his face and, you know, quite a good looking face, and I just said, 'Dude, your perspective on life sucks.'" I think this song is about how everyone wants to be like someone else, but even the people who seem perfect have their own problems. This man is handsome, wealthy, seemingly confident with the opportunity of a perfect life right at his fingertips, but he's blowing it all because he's an alcoholic. Even worse he's [obviously] blaming the world for his problems instead of taking matters into his own hands and turning his life around. |

Interesting, I don't see this song as creepy at all. First off, there's a verse missing from the beginning here that goes: "You think you're better, you're better than me You write me off as history To avoid conversation, you ignore me." I view it as a man singing to an ex-significant other (woman in my imagination, but that doesn't have to be the case). For whatever reason, they broke up but he's not over her. He wants to try and work things out, but she keeps blowing him off. The "touches you" part is emotional, not physical; he wants to be as important to her as her family is because that's how much she means to him. That's how I think of it, anyway. |
