Overall Meaning

In this song, "את" (At), which means "you" in Hebrew, the singer Moshe Ben Ari is expressing his feelings towards this special person in his life. He reflects on the impact this person has on him and how much he loves her. The song starts with him acknowledging her and her influence on him. He admires her strength and how she listens to his heart, and mainly how she holds his hand. He sings about how she takes him places and how much he learns from her during those moments. Moshe praises her for her ability to bring him joy and make him happy while also acknowledging the pain he feels when he sees her in tears.

The chorus acts as a reminder of how much he loves her and desires her. The repetition of the phrase "את, כמה שיותר גבוה" (At, kamah sheyoter gavoah) which means "you, the higher the better" speaks of how he holds her in high esteem, and that he wants to be touched by her as much as possible.

The song's composition is heavily influenced by Middle Eastern music, which Moshe Ben Ari is famous for. The mix of traditional and contemporary instruments such as the ney (a type of flute), the darbuka (a drum), and the electric guitar highlight the song's distinctive Eastern sound which is unique to Moshe Ben Ari's style.
