I put my feet out of bed
I felt the floor’s cold as if it were mud
I wanted to drink your water
But I remembered your glass wasn’t there anymore
Your toothbrush was left forgotten in the cupboard
And I live the days and nights upside down
Upside down, upside down, upside down
There’s no silence that calms me
No current to shut me up
No absence that shakes me
You only make me hungry now
And the pain that doesn’t leave me
A haunted soul that doesn’t sleep
Come here, get over here
Put your ear against mine and sing just for me
Come here, get over here
Say you regret it and that she’s not the best for you after all
You, you, you
It’s not easy like this
Being an empty glass with water overflowing
Look at us now, a cold bed
So much silence, anywhere
What do you need
If it’s just to give, then let it go
Drop that chain but nothing matters
Even if it’s mud, I know how to sail
Try to understand that what’s right changes
Depends on where you look from
So come here and see
Switch with me even if it’s only once
Come here, get over here
Put your ear against mine and sing just for me
Come here, get over here
Say you regret it and that he’s not the best for you after all
You, you, you
Time doesn’t stop
They say luck and what I feel is a rare thing
You kept the cupboard keys
And in the end I’m the one who turns your world upside down
Come here, get over here
Put your ear against mine and sing just for me
Come here, get over here
Say you regret it and that he’s not the best for you after all
You, you, you

SONG MEANING

“Lama” – Mimicat feat. Matay plunges us into the messy aftermath of a breakup, where every small detail of daily life feels sticky like mud. The singer wakes up to a cold floor, sees an abandoned toothbrush and an empty glass, and instantly remembers the person who left. The imagery of mud captures that heavy, clinging sadness you just can’t shake off. Yet, instead of sinking, the narrator keeps calling the ex back: “Come here, put your ear next to mine and sing just for me.” It is a tug-of-war between aching loneliness and the stubborn hope that love might still return.

At the same time, the lyrics slip in flashes of strength. Even if the water is gone and the bed is cold, the voice insists, “I know how to navigate, even when it’s just mud.” The song reminds us that what feels right can change depending on where you stand, so why not give love another try? With a soulful Portuguese groove and that back-and-forth duet energy, “Lama” paints heartbreak as both a swamp and a river: hard to cross, but still flowing toward a possible reunion.
