That's So Us
Allie X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We get anxiety
That's so you, that's so me
That's so us
Wearing black at the beach
Looking pale, feeling chic
That's so you, that's so me
That's so us
We think that politics is such a waste of time
We've been a wreck together since 2009
We've seen each other naked, seen each other cry
You make me not wanna die
What I like about you, baby
Is how you annoy me daily
But you still fucking amaze me
That's so us! That's so us!
Yeah, we're both a lot to handle
I'm a Leo, you're a Cancer
We take on the world together
That's so us! That's so us!
We make peppermint tea
And watch Space Oddyssey
That's so you, that's so me
That's so us
And I sing in the car
While you play air guitar
That's so you, that's so me
That's so us
We think that politics is such a waste of time
We've been a wreck together since 2009
We've seen each other naked, seen each other cry
You make me not wanna die
What I like about you baby
Is how you annoy me daily
But you still fucking amaze me
That's so us! That's so us!
Yeah, we're both a lot to handle
I'm a Leo, you're a Cancer
We take on the world together
That's so us! That's so us!
That's so us! That's so us!
That's so us! That's so us!
When I'm sick, when I'm sad
You always bring me back
When you're wild, when you're mad
I'm your girl
Shit gets real, good and bad
But we cry 'til we laugh
Through the pain, through the fads
That's so us (that's so us)
What I like about you baby
Is how you annoy me daily
But you still fucking amaze me
That's so us! That's so us!
Yeah, we're both a lot to handle
I'm a Leo, you're a Cancer
We take on the world together
That's so us! That's so us!
That's so us! That's so us!
The song "That's So Us" by Allie X is a celebration of a unique and special relationship between two people. The lyrics talk about how they feel more comfortable with each other than with anyone else, how they share interests, and how they complement each other despite their differences. The opening lines, "Can't do crowds, not our scene, we get anxiety," highlights how they have similar personalities, insecurities, and preferences. They prefer to spend time alone with each other and do the things they love, like "wearing black at the beach, looking pale, feeling chic."
The song also emphasizes the importance of accepting each other's flaws and foibles. They annoy each other but still manage to amaze each other because they understand each other in a unique way. They have seen each other at their worst, naked and crying, and yet they are still together, making peppermint tea and watching Space Odyssey, singing in the car and playing air guitar. They take on the world together, through good times and bad, and they cry until they laugh. They are each other's rock, and they make each other better.
In conclusion, "That's So Us" is a heartfelt tribute to a unique, challenging, inspiring, and unbreakable bond between two people. It celebrates the joys and struggles of being in a close-knit relationship, as well as the beauty of accepting each other for who they are, annoying quirks and all.
