You
Binocular Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
Me in your love that rises to the sun
And says everything I never could think of
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
But you you'll always be my only real friend
They may say I'm holding onto something from the past
'cause they know that nothing in this life will ever last
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
I've been running down the mountain side alone
I've been stuck out in the rain and in the cold
I've been going down lonely streets
I've been climbing up the mountain
'cause you you're everything I ever wanted to
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
Then we're gone
The song "You" by the American rock band Binocular is a beautiful, poetic ballad about love, friendship, and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia as the singer reflects on his relationship with his loved one. The chorus reveals the depth of his feelings, as he expresses the desire to lose himself in their love, which feels like it rises to the sun and expresses everything he could never think of. The verses continue this theme of transience, as the singer recognizes that all good things must come to an end, and that life is a series of moments that pass by quickly. Along the way, he has experienced many hardships and challenges, but the love of his friend has sustained him through it all.
One interesting aspect of this song is the use of silence as a recurring motif. The singer repeatedly references the idea of "in silence we rise and we fall," which suggests that there is something mystical and profound about the way that life unfolds. The song also includes a powerful metaphor about climbing mountains, which could symbolize the challenges and obstacles that the singer has faced in his life. This imagery is particularly poignant when paired with the idea that his loved one has been there to support him through it all.
Another interesting aspect of this song is the band's use of instrumentation. The melody is simple and understated, with acoustic guitar and piano providing the backbone of the arrangement. The use of strings adds an emotional depth to the music, while the drummer provides a steady, driving rhythm that propels the song forward. The overall effect is a powerful one, with the music perfectly complementing the lyrics and adding to the overall emotional impact of the song.
