You Are
Carolina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frame ghost, left perfume on pillow
Room without a halo
Losing my sleep

Almost on and off in echoes
Time is passing so slow
Dragging me deep
I can't make anything out of might've beens
Will tomorrow bring all into light?

When you are near me
When you are here I see
All that I am made of
And all that I am
When you are near

Waylaid, television headache
Bursting into daybreak
Losing my sleep

I don't fear anything in this place we're in
Will tomorrow bring all into light?

When you are near me
When you are here I see
All that I am made of
And all that I am

When you are near me
When you are here I see
All that I am, baby
You're all that I have
You're all that I am

I can't see anything in the dark but then
Your reflection brings all into light

When you are near me
When you are here I see
All that I am made of
And all that I am

When you are near me
When you are here I see
All that I am, baby




You're all that I have
You're all that I am

Overall Meaning

In "You Are," Carolina sings about the transformative experience of being near a loved one. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery that evoke both the excitement and the anxiety that come with falling in love. The first verse describes a moment of intimacy, where the singer is left alone in a room with the lingering scent of their partner. The sense of loss and yearning that follows is mirrored in the line "losing my sleep," which speaks to the restless, all-consuming nature of infatuation.


In the second verse, the singer experiences a burst of energy, perhaps inspired by the excitement of being close to their partner. The verse is dominated by sharp, evocative phrases like "television headache" and "bursting into daybreak," which suggest a sense of nervous energy and anticipation. But even in the midst of this excitement, the singer is left with a lingering sense of uncertainty. With lines like "I don't fear anything in this place we're in," and "dragging me deep," the song acknowledges the risks and rewards of opening oneself up to possibility.


The chorus of the song brings all of these themes together in a powerful, emotional crescendo. With lines like "all that I am made of," and "all that I am," the song speaks to the transformative power of love. Despite the anxieties and the uncertainties, the singer finds comfort and meaning in the presence of their partner. By the end of the song, it's clear that the transformative power of love is not just a source of personal growth, but the foundation of all that is meaningful in life.

It's actually criminal to have excluded the last few minutes of Grant Nelson's masterclass performance in a HIGHLIGHT reel
