I had a serious lung infection back when I was 18. I had to call an ambulance; I was medically dead while en route to hospital (I live really close by to a hospital, I was really bad) I am not gonna go over treatment because its too long but 6 hours after they discharged me, I was back in the ER. I stayed in hospital for 2 weeks, over 15k in bills including medicine, care, transport (my third world country has insurance, I only had to pay for room, less than 2k in really easy monthly payments) I discovered MIKA when I was alone during those 2 weeks at night. I think it helped me after I searched about him and his fight about being different. His music was with me when I thought I was gonna die... there is nothing worse as not being able to breathe, MIKA helped me relax for some reason....
me:doing what mika is doing
Mom walks in
Mom:what the hell are you doing?
Me:pauses... and continues to dance
Mom:walks out of room questioning how she ended up with a child like me
He has been bullied when he was younger to the point he stopped talking and got homeschooled. In this song he sings about it and mentions something ;
'Now I’m sitting alone
I’m finally looking around
Left here on my own
I’m gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I’m still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry'.
When he sang that in this videoclip he made a self cutting gesture, guess he must have been pretty fucked up. He said that when he was bullied it felt like he was being kicked in the stomach and having the feeling you have to throw up. The thought that sweet Mika had to deal with this in the past really hurts, and I hope the people that bullied him feel pretty shitty about it now. Mika really deserves all the best in the world and I hope his boyfriend is the nicest and most supportive man on earth, and that he's just right for him because Mika deserves someone like that.
