Mer Girl Lyrics » Madonna
[Verse 1]
I ran from my house that cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
My mother who haunts me, even though she’s gone
From my daughter that never sleeps
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky
Out to the lake, into the rain
That matted my hair and soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears
[Chorus]
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
[Verse 2]
I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath, and thought about your death
I ran to the lake, up into the hills
I ran and I ran, I’m looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
All forgotten names
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up, blinding me

About Madonna’s Mer Girl from Ray of Light (1998)
‘Mer Girl’ is the thirteenth and final song on the standard edition of Madonna’s seventh studio album,
Ray Of Light
.
The title “Mer Girl” is a term coined by Madonna. The word “Mer” is French, and means “of the sea,” and this word-root is most common in the word “mermaid.” Therefore, the phrase “Mer-girl” is agreed to mean “an immature mermaid.”
Lyrically speaking, the song is a surreal meditation on mortality and the death of Madonna’s mother.
I went to visit my father in Michigan. […] It was a hot summer day, and I decided to go for a run, and it started to rain. I didn’t know where I was going, I just ran in front of farms, and vineyards, and I just ran, and ran, and ran. The sky opened up, I was soaking wet, and I found myself in the cemetery where my mother was buried. Somehow, recklessly, I found my mother’s grave. It was grown over, it looked like it hadn’t been visited in a while. Anyway, I spent some time there, and then I ran back home, and I wrote this song.
