[Preivew] Gareth Emery feat. Bo Bruce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I see are flashing lights
People wearing blue suits wanna know the real truth
How many did I have tonight?
Looking at the wreckage anyone would guess that all inside had died
But I'm alive
Wake up in a strange place, angels over my head
Thousand bolts of lightning bring me back to life
And it's a miracle that I'm still here
As I'm coming to, I'm screaming out, I need you by my side
And I'm alive
No, I didn't pray to god
No, I never saw the light
No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes
No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do
I just closed my eyes and all I saw was you
No, I didn't pray to god
No, I never saw the light
No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes
No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do
I just closed my eyes and all I saw was you
The lyrics of "U" by Gareth Emery feat. Bo Bruce describe a life-threatening situation where the singer is involved in a car accident. The song begins with the singer walking down the highway while cars come towards them. All they can see are flashing lights and officers are asking them how many drinks they had. The scene depicts a chaotic environment where the singer has been involved in a crash. Looking at the wreckage, anyone could guess that everyone inside the car had died, but the singer is alive.
The second verse expresses the singer's experience after waking up in a strange place. They see angels over their head and hear one of them shouting clearly. The singer feels a surge of electricity that brings them back to life. It is a miracle that they are still alive. As they come to their senses, they shout out that they need someone by their side. The singer is grateful to be alive, and the person they are calling out for comfort is the one they saw when they closed their eyes, all they saw was that person.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No, I didn't" four times, emphasizing that the singer didn't go through the typical near-death experiences that one would expect. They never prayed to God, didn't see their life flash before their eyes, and didn't have any regrets about not doing the things people said they would do. Interestingly, the singer didn't experience any of these things because they were occupied with thoughts of someone who matters deeply to them.

Walking down the highway, traffic's coming my way
I was walking alongside the road, cars were approaching towards me
All I see are flashing lights
All I could see was flashing emergency lights
People wearing blue suits wanna know the real truth
Uniformed personnel want to investigate the actual facts
How many did I have tonight?
I wonder how much I consumed this evening
Looking at the wreckage anyone would guess that all inside had died
Judging by the condition of the crashed vehicle, one could assume that all passengers were deceased
But I'm alive
However, I'm still breathing
Wake up in a strange place, angels over my head
I regained consciousness in an unfamiliar setting, and people around me seemed to be guardians
One of them is shouting clear
One of them yells something out loud
Thousand bolts of lightning bring me back to life
Numerous electric shocks revive me
And it's a miracle that I'm still here
It's an extraordinary occurrence that I survived
As I'm coming to, I'm screaming out, I need you by my side
As I'm recovering, I'm crying out for your presence
And I'm alive
But, again, I'm still living
No, I didn't pray to god
No, I didn't plead or appeal to any divine power
No, I never saw the light
No, I didn't experience any supernatural illuminating force
No, I didn't watch my life go flashing right before my eyes
No, I wasn't in the state of mind where my entire life passed before my eyes
No, I didn't do the things that they all said that I would do
No, I didn't act in ways that others predicted I would
I just closed my eyes and all I saw was you
All I could picture was you when I shut my eyes
