Mica Lyrics

Cover art for Mica lyrics by Mew

i interpret this song as... a girl growing up. and possibly not growing up fast enough. ['You’re surprised at what you go through. As if no one ever told you. On your own feet, your own feet stand] like she carries her immaturity through to her first few years working as a professional, and ends up falling for someone at work...? 'She worked hard to be his novice and then broke into his office.' though, here, it could also be that she is interning at the place in which she falls in love with.. whoever... 'there's a big noise from her chest/let me do the talking' could be something like her heart taking over and speaking for her.
now that i think of it.. mica, being a mineral that flakes [breaks?] very easily, could be a reflection of her heart. 'a glued together vase is still a vase' her heart is still a heart, even after it has been broken.
