Look At Me
Back Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking at you in a way that says you're mine
And I believe, in you and me, it's all that matters
You took my hand, rebuilt my shattered life
[Chorus]
And I love you
Cause when you're with me
The future looks so bright
Here I come with a pocketful of smiles to show you
And to talk you into making love to me
(Making love)
It's hard for me to give an accurate description of you
Can't find the perfect exhibition of true love
(All you need is love)
[Chorus]
In the lyrics of "Look at Me" by Back Pack, the singer comes to the listener, represented as a wave of sunshine, with the declaration that they belong together. The singer expresses their faith in their relationship and themself with lines like "And I believe, in you and me, it's all that matters" and "You took my hand, rebuilt my shattered life." The chorus is a declaration of love and the power it has to make the world feel alright and positive.
The second half of the song, the singer is taking on the role of wooer, offering a "pocketful of smiles" and asking to "make love." The description of the listener becomes more abstract, with a struggle to find words to describe their love for them. The chorus repeats this powerful feeling of love, and the sense that as long as they are together, the future looks bright.
One could interpret this song as a kind of love ballad, but the lyrics' shape provides dimensions that veer from the typical format. The singer expects their lover will agree with them when the future "looks so bright," for example, and this suggests that the relationship could be symbiotic or codependent. Furthermore, the singer’s zealous desire to be with the listener is evident with their words and tone portrayed; they want to show how much they love the other person, and the lyrics suggest that they want to keep that love from fading.
