Microphone Lyrics

Ooh-la-la, the world's on fire
All my friends are getting high
I just want my microphone
My microphone

I walk the streets at night
With monsters in my mind
They say you best be quiet
I like it, like it
No, I won't shut my mouth
That's not what I'm about
You know I built this house
I like it, like it

So boom, check one, check one, two, three
Is anybody here listening?
Hear me now, hear me now

Ooh-la-la, the world's on fire
All my friends are getting high
I just want my microphone
My microphone

Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
I just want my microphone
My microphone
Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
I just want my microphone
My microphone

They say I'm too damn loud
Like boys in London Town
Because I won't chill out
I like it, like it
They say I talk too proud
I say I'm too profound
Because I won't back down
When the clock is ticking like a time tomb

So boom, check one, check one, two, three
Is anybody here listening?
Hear me now, hear me now

Ooh-la-la, the world's on fire
All my friends are getting higher
I just want my microphone
My microphone

Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
I just want my microphone
My microphone
Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
I just want my microphone
My microphone

Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
Turn me up a little bit louder in my soul
Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
Turn me up a little bit louder in my bones
Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
Turn me up a little bit louder in my soul

My, my, my, my microphone
My, my, my, my microphone
(Microphone)

Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
Turn me up a little bit louder in my bones
Turn me up a little bit louder, louder
Just a little bit louder, now
Turn me up a little bit louder in my soul

What is the Meaning of Microphone?

This piece is a powerful anthem of self-expression and defiance against societal pressures. The recurring motif of the 'microphone' symbolizes the artist's desire to voice their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs fearlessly, despite the chaos and distractions surrounding them. The lyrics also suggest a struggle with internal demons ('monsters in my mind') yet an unwavering determination to continue speaking out ('no, I won't shut my mouth'). This song serves as a reminder that everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and amplified, regardless of external judgment or criticism. The repeated requests for amplification ('turn me up a little bit louder') further emphasize this message of standing tall in one's truth amid noise and adversity. #SelfExpression #DefianceAgainstConformity
