Need Me Too
Aerial East Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care if you want me
I've got one long life to live and I don't need you either
I wish I could I say I don't need anyone
But all I can say is
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
I could love you forever
I might be happier if we never part
If you ever left, It'd break my heart
But all I can say is
I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you

And I know
You know you don't need me too
And I know
You know you don't need me too
And I know
You know you don't need me too

I wish I could say I don't need anyone
But all I can say is
I don't need you
I don't need you




I don't need you
You don't need me too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aerial East's song "Need Me Too" explore the duality of needing and not needing someone. The singer admits that they could love the other person forever and would be heartbroken if they ever left, yet at the same time, they assert that they don't need that person. It's a complicated sentiment that many people can likely relate to. The singer knows that the other person doesn't need them either, which adds another layer to the complexity of the situation.


The repetition of the phrase "I don't need you" is significant because it highlights the singer's attempts to convince themselves that they don't need this person, even though they clearly love them deeply. The line "I wish I could say I don't need anyone, but all I can say is I don't need you" is particularly poignant because it acknowledges that we all need someone at some point in our lives, even if it's hard to admit. The song captures the push and pull of relationships, where we want to be independent and self-sufficient while also craving connection and love.
