To Be With You
|WwW.TopMp3.CN| Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke in a suburban home
Comfortable and monochrome
Can't remember how or why I'm here
Wander down the empty hall
Smiling family on the walls
And I want it to be me
Don't you want to be loved
All the light I cannot see
All the colors on TV
All the things I want to be
I want it to be me
Don't you want to be loved
Maybe it could be today?
The lyrics of |WwW.TopMp3.CN|'s song To Be With You depict a suburban lifestyle that the singer finds himself in, without any memory of how or why he got there. The monochromatic feel of the house and the smiling family on the walls create a sense of surrealness as the singer wanders down the empty hall. However, the most interesting part of these lyrics is the recurring line 'Don't you want to be loved?' which suggests a sense of longing from the singer's end. As he sees his face in every frame, he yearns for affection and validation from those around him.
The second verse intensifies the singer's desires as he yearns for experiencing all the colors and lights that he cannot see, and all the things he wants to be, once again asking 'Don't you want to be loved?' The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes the societal pressure and human desire to feel appreciated and loved by those around us. The phrase 'Maybe it could be today?' suggests an optimistic outlook towards the future, that maybe today would bring the singer the comfort and love he yearns for.
