Looking At You
4-4-1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game without you
Without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you
Without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by without you
Without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
cll I need is you and I, without you
Without you
Love of mine, someday you will die
But i'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Wagin' wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me (oh oh oh x2)
Someone like me (oh oh oh x2)
Someone like me
(I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game without you)
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
(I will follow you into the dark)

The repeated lines "You know that I could use somebody" convey a plea for companionship and understanding.
The lyrics also touch on themes of searching and self-discovery. The references to climbing mountains and running through fields suggest a journey towards a desired goal or destination, symbolizing the singer's efforts to find fulfillment and meaning in their life. However, the admission that "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" hints at a sense of disappointment or unfulfilled expectations despite these efforts.
The verses further explore the idea of dependence and longing for another person. The lines "I can't win, I can't reign / I will never win this game without you" express a feeling of helplessness and vulnerability without the presence of the other person. The repeated refrain "Without you" emphasizes the singer's belief that their existence is intertwined with that of the other person, highlighting the depth of their emotional connection.
The closing lines of the song delve into themes of love, loss, and mortality. The acknowledgment that "Love of mine, someday you will die / But I'll be close behind" reflects a sense of devotion and commitment that transcends death.
