Cavetown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'll spend way too much time
On something so small that no one really cares about at all
I guess it's just another one of those thoughts
And I can't really find a cause
Whether it's all just in my mind or something more here in my life
It's u, it's u
It's u
If you're awake then I am too
If you're lost then I'll find you
If you're hurt then I'll fix you
If you go blind I'll describe the view
If you can't feel then I'll hold you
If you fall know I've got you
And if you fall down too far and I can't see you through these marks
And your eyes are covered in scars, and my head's filling with tar
Don't worry we'll find another way out
Your silhouette doesn't look quite right
And I can never find the time
To bury my hands in words
I'd grow a new kind of evergreen tree, just for you and me
On second thoughts, will you even remember me?
But it's always been u (It's always been u)
It's always been u (It's always been u)
It's always been u (It's always been u)
It's always been u (It's always been u)
It's always been u (It's always been u)
It's always been u
Is it me for u?
In this song, Cavetown expresses his vulnerability and commitment towards someone he deeply cares about. The first verse of the song reflects his tendency to overthink situations and small details even though they may not matter to others. He contemplates whether these thoughts are just in his mind or if they have a deeper meaning in his life. This thought process sets the tone for the remainder of the song, as similar themes of self-doubt and second-guessing arise when it comes to his relationship with the person he cares for.
The chorus, "It's u, it's u, oh god, it's u," is a powerful statement that emphasizes the intensity of Cavetown's feelings for this person. He tells them that he will always be there for them, even if they are feeling lost, hurt, or can't see the beauty around them. He assures them that he will always be by their side and will never let them fall. However, towards the end of the song, he becomes uncertain about whether this person will remember him or if he is enough for them.
Overall, Cavetown uses emotionally charged lyrics to convey his love and devotion towards someone. He sings of a deep connection that he feels, despite his doubts and insecurities. Many listeners can easily relate to the themes present in this song, such as the fear of not being enough for someone or the desire to protect and take care of someone they love.
