Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will be impossible for you to hold
But all I want, I really want
Is you
And when the class thinks you're a loon
And every little thing you do
Want you to know that all I want
Is you
You in a box and labels you
Don't you give up, be what you are
And do what you do
And when the people living in your phone
Give advice and misconstrue
Don't be ashamed, all that I want
Is you
And when you look inside yourself
And find the job you have's not true
Don't waste your time, all that I want
Is you
And when the gurus and financial pigs
With their fucked up self-developments
Try to change you, rearrange
Your countenance
And when you're famous, singing songs
In the concert halls at LSU
No amount of laughs or petty words
Could fracture you
When all the lights and all the sounds
Only pressure you to melt in two
You can wave or walk away,
Just be you
And all the weight of all this world
Will be impossible for you to hold
But all I want, I really want
Is you
And all I want, I really want
Is you
And all I want, I really want
Is you
The song "Born in 2-3" by 01.New is a love letter to individuality and authenticity. The lyrics describe the many ways in which the world can be tough and unforgiving, and all the various pressures that people face to fit themselves into narrow boxes and confining labels. But amidst all of this, the singer proclaims his steadfast love for the person he's singing to, and encourages them to stay true to themselves no matter what. He acknowledges that the weight of the world can be too much for anyone to bear alone, but reassures that his love and support will always be there.
The first verse addresses the feeling of being weighed down by the world. The singer acknowledges that it can be impossible to hold up all the burdens that life can throw at us. But even in the midst of all that, all he wants is the person he's singing to. The second verse alludes to the idea of being seen as strange or crazy by others, but the singer insists that he loves everything about them. The third verse brings up the notion of the media trying to put people into boxes and labels, but the singer encourages the person to stay true to themselves. The fourth verse talks about the pressures that social media can bring, and the fifth verse alludes to the idea of being stuck in a job that doesn't feel like the right fit. In both of these cases, the singer encourages perseverance and remaining true to oneself. The sixth verse criticizes the self-help industry, and the seventh describes the feeling of celebrity and performing in front of large crowds. But again, the singer reassures that his love and support will always be there.
Overall, "Born in 2-3" is a touching song that encourages self-love and authenticity in a world that can be harsh and judgmental. The singer's unwavering support is a reminder that no matter how hard things get, we are never really alone.
