You Are
BriBry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For feeding us lies about what love was
And so I'm cynical in my awkward approach
In making you feel beautiful though I know you won't
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Radio and screen will back down for a one man's dream as he tells you finally
You are whatever love does to me
Plans are for those who live as safe as they can
So I'm different in my sudden approach
In asking you to marry me, though I know you won't
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Radio and screen will back down for a one man's dream as he tells you finally
You are whatever love is to me
La la la la love is to me
La la la la love is to me
La la la la love is to me
La la la la love is to me
I go to crazy extents just to be the guy
Who sees you first thing when he opens his eyes
Radio and screen will back down for a one man's dream
As he tells you finally
You are whatever love is to me
The lyrics of BriBry's song "You Are" describe a man who is cynical about love due to the false portrayal of it in movies and songs, but still goes to great lengths to show his love and see his partner first thing in the morning. He acknowledges his awkward and sudden approach in asking his partner to marry him, even though he knows she won't accept. This man is different from those who live safe lives with concrete plans, and he sees his partner as whatever love is to him.
The lyrics reflect the struggles and contradictions of modern love, where people are bombarded by unrealistic depictions of relationships in media and struggle to find authentic connections in real life. The song highlights the importance of taking chances and being spontaneous in love, even though it may not fit society's expectations. The repeated refrain of "You are whatever love does/ is to me" reinforces the idea that love is a personal experience that can't be easily defined or measured.
Overall, "You Are" is a tender and honest song that captures the complexity and beauty of love in the modern age.

You've been sleeping in 'cause you know no better
And whether you care for those you once adored
As we queue outside your bedroom door
I've not seen you this down
Since you came around at Christmas
I witnessed a fall from grace
From the brightest to the darkest place
Oh you said it was the last time, love
And I know it kills that you're not someone else
But you said it was the last time, love
(Wait) Tell me you're not good enough
(Stay) Tell me you're still giving up
(Shame) When you're all I'm thinking of
You're alright, love
You're alright
If I'd a way with words
I'd write away the hurt
Instead I lie dormant at your bedside
Without any means to ease your mind
I've not felt this useless
How can I get you through this?
Oh, if lives were for the taking
I'd give you mine without hesitating
Oh you said it was the last time, love
And I know it kills that you're not someone else
But you said it was the last time, love
(Wait) Tell me you're not good enough
(Stay) Tell me you're still giving up
(Shame) When you're all I'm thinking of
You're alright, love
You're alright
I've been trying to try to work it out
I can't do it.
