Every You Every Me
.Placebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My heart's a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to doEvery me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison, come undone
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Sucker love, who's known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love, I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here, but what here's mine?
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
The lyrics to "Every You Every Me" by Placebo are complex and open to interpretation. On one level, the song appears to be about a destructive, codependent relationship. The singer refers to "sucker love" as something that is "heaven sent," but also acknowledges that it is unsustainable and leaves him feeling broken. He seems to be aware of his selfishness and unkindness, but is unable or unwilling to change. The second verse suggests that this relationship is the only thing that gives his life meaning. The line "there's nothing else to do" suggests a sense of futility, as if the singer is trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior.
On another level, the song can be read as a commentary on society as a whole. The repeated line "every me and every you" suggests that the singer's experiences are not unique, and that we are all caught up in patterns of behavior that are damaging. The line "too much poison come undone" could be interpreted as a reference to the negative consequences of capitalism, environmental destruction, or any number of other societal ills.
Regardless of how one chooses to interpret the lyrics, it's clear that "Every You Every Me" is a powerful and emotionally resonant song that speaks to the human experience.

the first time i listened to this song, i just loved to predict the lyrics. It's like poetry, i love how every word just comes together to rhyme with the next sentence. It's so meaningful, it just hit me like a damn bus. i have never had a love for something i cannot physically see or feel, I cannot help but fucking sob in joy whenever i hear this song. "like the naked leads the blind, i know i'm selfish, i'm unkind" i literally have to say that out loud when i hear this song, the theme of this song is so heavy and so nonchalant at the same time, giving me this feeling of a sunrise on a winter morning. LIKE, I've never been able to picture a song like i can with this. It's short and sweet, i absolutely cannot get enough of this band
in case you could not tell, i love placebo.

Placebo is still so underrated, people have no idea what they’re missing… Discovered them at 15 years old, around 2004, I’ve never looked back since. I do like other artists and bands, but none do it for me like Placebo does. Pure perfection. If you’re here too, then I like you, whoever you are. I won’t say what year it is, as I’ll be back here again as long as I live. Love you all and especially my dearest Placebo, who saw me through happy times and dark times. 💜😻😸
@stephanesantos5954
wow! I just discover Placebo this week, this is crazy

Everyone is NOT under rated. There are way way too many artists OVERRATED for all the wrong reasons. Most all of the rap today and all the other crap they play on the radio that continues to be made and perpetuated by the masses because they're brain dead and the entertainment companies do an astounding job making them the definition of today's "cool". By definition though, to be cool is to not be the mainstream. So yes, under rated= cool. When your mom, and your grandma, and little brother all know an artist, odds are, they are over rated!

"Carve your name into my arm, instead of stressed I lie here charmed" is one of the best lyrics ever and perfectly encapsulates toxic love

Особенно потерянную любовь. Печально осознавать когда лучшее что было в жизни ушло.
