When … Read Full Bio ↴Real Name: André Boadu, DJ and producer from Berlin, Germany.
When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. Coming from Hamburg to Berlin in 2004 his talent was soon recognized by folks like DJ Hell or DJ T. who hired him as their co-producer.
Besides, he was playing the clubs (national and international) all week every week and putting his effort in remixes for the likes of Roxy Music, Tiefschwarz or Anthony Rother. But as soon as he dropped his first solo productions, he finally made himself a name in a quite unparalleled way. “F.I.R.” – his first release on keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, he helped founding in 2009, was a massive clubhit, but in the end not much more than a foretaste of things to come. Releases and remixes on Front Room, Souvenir, Rebirth, Liebe*Detail, Saved etc. followed, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire spread even more into international realms, and that’s where he stands right now, as his blend of Techno and soulful Housemusic took incredible shape: Many new projects in focus and clearly visible as one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
The Rapture
&ME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never thought that things could be any good for me
I, I was losing hope
Avoiding all those feelings that made me feel alive
Broken bones, broken heart, nothing here left to save
Pull my heart, pull it hard, rescue me from this pain
Pull my heart, pull it hard, I see you and I feel
All the broken souls I've seen
None of them was happy enough
Maybe you can stay for tonight
In kisses, tears and rapture
Some-, somedays are the darkest
But it gets better with your voice on the phone
You, you make me feel not alone
And things like these are exactly what I call home
(What I call home)
Left alone, by my friends, can you try not to leave?
Promise me nothing more but the true honesty
Can you make feel alright every night I spent in tears?
Close your eyes, take my hand cause I love to feel this
All the broken souls I've seen
None of them was happy enough
Maybe you can stay for tonight
In kisses, tears and rapture
Rapture joyful figure
A bliss I can't control
It's ok to lose it all for this
Rapture
All the broken souls I've seen
None of them was happy enough
Maybe you can stay for tonight
In kisses, tears and rapture
The lyrics of "&ME's The Rapture" are about feeling lost and brokenhearted before finding love and experiencing joy with another person. The first verse reflects on a time when the singer was feeling hopeless and didn't think anything good could happen to them. However, they met someone who changed everything and made them feel alive. The chorus speaks to the idea that although the singer has seen many broken souls, they are now happy thanks to their partner. They hope that they can stay together and experience this blissful state of emotional rapture.
The second verse continues with the theme of feeling lost and alone, but this time it's more about being abandoned by friends rather than just personal despair. The singer asks their partner to stay and promises that all they need is honesty and emotional support - not grand gestures. The second chorus repeats the theme of the first, with the singer admitting that they have seen many unhappy people before finding their own bliss.
The theme of the song is one of hope after heartbreak, the come-up after being down. It's about finding love in the midst of hopelessness and feeling a sense of joy that cannot be tamed. The use of the phrase "kisses, tears and rapture" encapsulates the ups and downs of love, while the idea of broken bones, broken hearts, and broken souls poignantly illustrate the idea that there can be beauty in pain.

You, you came out of nowhere
You appeared unexpectedly in my life
I've never thought that things could be any good for me
I never believed that good things could happen to me
I, I was losing hope
I was giving up on hope
Avoiding all those feelings that made me feel alive
I avoided the emotions that made me feel truly alive
Broken bones, broken heart, nothing here left to save
I'm broken and hopeless, with nothing left to save
Pull my heart, pull it hard, rescue me from this pain
Please save me from this suffering, with all your heart and strength
Broken bones, broken heart, why you make me feel this?
Why do you make me feel so broken and hurt?
Pull my heart, pull it hard, I see you and I feel
When I see you, my heart is pulled towards you with great force
All the broken souls I've seen
I've seen many shattered individuals
None of them was happy enough
None of them were truly content
Maybe you can stay for tonight
Perhaps you could spend the night with me
In kisses, tears and rapture
Together we can share kisses, tears and a state of ecstasy
Somedays are the darkest
Some days are extremely bleak
But it gets better with your voice on the phone
But hearing your voice on the phone brightens up my day
You, you make me feel not alone
You make me feel like I'm not alone in this world
And things like these are exactly what I call home
This feeling of belonging is what I consider home
Left alone, by my friends, can you try not to leave?
My friends have abandoned me, and I implore you not to do the same
Promise me nothing more but the true honesty
All I ask of you is honesty, nothing more
Can you make feel alright every night I spent in tears?
Can you comfort me and make me feel better on nights when I'm in tears?
Close your eyes, take my hand cause I love to feel this
Close your eyes, hold my hand, because I love this sensation
Rapture joyful figure
Rapture is a joyful figure
A bliss I can't control
An ecstatic feeling beyond my control
It's ok to lose it all for this
It's fine to lose everything for this feeling of rapture
All the broken souls I've seen
I've witnessed many shattered individuals
None of them was happy enough
None of them were truly content
Maybe you can stay for tonight
Perhaps you could spend the night with me
In kisses, tears and rapture
Together we can share kisses, tears and a state of ecstasy
