Me And Mia Lyrics
As I was walking through a life one morning
The sun was out, the air was warm But oh, I was cold And though I must have looked a half a person To tell the tale in my own version It was only then that I felt whole Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it Fighting for the smallest goal: To get a little self-control I know how hard you try I see it in your eyes Call your friends, because we've forgotten What it's like to eat what's rotten And what's eating you alive Might help you to survive We went on, as we were on a mission Latest in a Grand Tradition Oh, what did we find? It was Ego who was flying the banner Me and Mia, Ann and Ana, oh We'd been unkind Do you believe in something beautiful? Then, get up and be it Fighting for the smallest goal: To get a little self-control I see it in your eyes I see it in your spine But call your friends, because we've forgotten What it's like to eat what's rotten And what's eating you alive Might help you to survive Even the nights that could get better And even the days aren't all that bad And after a week of fighting As more and more it seems the right thing Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it Fighting for the smallest goal: To gain a little self-control Won't anybody here just let you disappear? Not doctors, nor your mom nor dad But me and Mia, Ann and Ana Know how hard you try Don't you see it in my eyes? Sick to death of my dependence Fighting food to find trancendence Fighting to survive More dead, but more alive Cigarettes and speed to live And sleeping pills to feel forgiven All that you contrive And all that you're deprived All the bourgeois social angels Telling you you've got to change Don't have any idea They'll never see so clear But don't forget what it really means to hunger strike When you don't really need to Some are dying for the cause, but that don't make it yours And even the nights, they could get better

I've struggled with eating problems and I just started crying when I read the lyrics.
"Sick to death of my dependence,
Fighting food to find trancendence"
"More dead but more alive"
It's exactly how it feels. I wonder what inspired them to write this song because it's very realistic.

Ted Leo is the greatest writer in the world :)
I love this song and what FIONAR2001 said is a really good translation.
so scroll down a little and check it out.
and what's eating you alive,
might help you to survive.
-this eating disorder is hurting you physically but emotionally it is helping you survive.

Might help you to survive"
everyone here seems to think it's the worry that's eating you alive, but food is what helps you survive. of course, that's one interpretation.
for me however, i know the disorder is what's eating me alive, but i cannot possibly imagine life without it--i couldn't survive without it. so this line holds an entirely different meaning for me.
but that's the beauty of lyrics and literature--there isn't really a wrong interpretation :)
