With You
Brothers Moving Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With you
There's nothing else that we can do
′Cause I don't know where we belong
Anymore
Nothing is the way it was before
I'm staring at the ocean
With you
We′re in a different kind of blue
For just one second
We remembered to be free
But, nothing is the way it used to be
No, nothing is the way it used to be
(Instrumental)
I′m breaking the sound waves
With you
The only thing we ever knew
And all this time we had
We left it up to us
But nothing is the way we thought it was
No, nothing is the way we thought it was
The Brothers Moving's song "With You" revolves around the theme of uncertainty, change, and nostalgia. The singer is in the airport with someone, and they both seem bewildered about where they should go next, as if they have lost their sense of identity. The opening lines, "I'm waiting in the airport/With you/There's nothing else that we can do," express the sense of helplessness and entrapment they both feel in their current situation.
The second stanza, "I'm staring at the ocean/With you/We're in a different kind of blue/For just one second/We remembered to be free," reflects the nostalgia that the singer feels for a time when they felt more in control of their lives. The ocean represents the endless possibilities that life presents, but the current confusion and uncertainty make it difficult for the singer to perceive these possibilities.
Ultimately, the song's message is that life is full of surprises and change, and we must remain agile and adaptable to thrive under these circumstances. The chorus of "nothing is the way it used to be" reminds us that we can't control everything, but we can control how we react to it.
