Avicii's hit song "You Make Me" is a catchy and upbeat anthem that celebrates the power of unity and the thrill of finding that special someone. The opening lines of the song ("We are one, one for sure, all united, you'll want some more") suggest that the song is about the joy and excitement of being part of a community, and the chorus ("You make me!") reinforces this idea, with the repeated refrain suggesting that the person being addressed is the centerpiece of the group's collective feeling.
The lyrics of the verse ("All my life I've been waiting for someone like you, yeah/I've been looking for someone like you, yeah") suggest that the person being addressed is the missing piece of the puzzle, the one who completes the singer's life and brings them the happiness they have long been seeking. This could refer to a romantic partner, but it could also be a more general sense of fulfillment that comes from being part of a close-knit group.
Overall, "You Make Me" is a joyful and celebratory song that encourages listeners to embrace the power of community and the joy of finding that special someone who makes life more fulfilling.

@QueSacoEscolherUmNome...
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know
@TianaManuelRey
This song brings back so many good memories,

I may be young but this still has a strong effect on me...
memories I wish I could bring back...
we only have one life....
why waste it...???
Rest In Peace Legend..
Whoever is reading this, I love you. Don’t waste your life on things you can’t control. You are not alone...🐝✨❤️

[Verse 1]
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
[Chorus]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[Instrumental Drop]
[Verse 2]
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
[Chorus]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[Bridge]
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

My son passed away two Decembers ago. My wife was so stricken with grief she didn't know how to process his passing because he was our first and her only child. I was driving to the hospital when this song came on and I told her I imagine this song is exactly how we should celebrate him. And now everytime we both hear this song the waterworks flow but they come from a much better place now than back then. The catharsis is unreal.
