In This Together
Apoptygma Berzerk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should have seen this coming
Should have known this, shouldn't have let it happen
My mistake alright, stuck again
Doing my thing
To alike, yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me, and tearing us apart again...

Don't you see, we're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don't you see, we're in this together
You and me
One on one forever

I know it's self inflicted
We're way too desperate,
Way too addicted
But I can't help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And what felt so good once is breaking me, and tearing us apart again

Don't you see, we're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don't you see, we're in this together
You and me
One on one forever

And in your troubled eyes I see
Someone who carried me somehow
Like footprints in the sand,
You've been behind me all along.
We got it wrong from the start
Now it's you and me, lets hit it on
Don't you see it's you and me

Against the world
Don't you see, we're in this together
You and me
One on one forever
Don't you see, we're in this together




You and me
One on one forever

The chorus serves as a reminder that they are in this situation together, and that they need to be strong and face the world as a team. The lines "Don't you see, we're in this together, you and me, one on one forever" emphasize the theme of unity and the idea that they should work through their problems together.


The song's bridge is particularly poignant, as the singer sees hope in the troubled eyes of their partner.

Despite acknowledging that they got things wrong from the beginning, they express a desire to start over and face the world as a team.

Should I've seen this coming
Should I've known this
Shouldn't have let it happen
My mistake alright
Stuck again
Doing nothing (Doing nothing)
Too alike yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever (X2)
I know it's self-inflicted
We're way too desperate
Way too addicted
But I can't help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And when what felt so good once
Is breaking me
And tearing us apart again
Don't you see?
We're in this together
You and me
One on one forever (X2)
And in your troubled eyes I see
Someone who carried me somehow
Like footprints in the sand
You've been behind me all along
We got it wrong from the start
Now it's you and me
Let's hit it on
Don't you see?
It's you and me against the world
We're in this together
One on one forever
