You're Mine
Cobi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I arrived in paradise in 16
Living right by the 405
Marie and I met on the downtown scene
The first few months we took our time

Wide awake love
This can't wait love
Don't have time to waste your time
Meditate love
Keep the faith love
Don't go brush it all aside

Cause you're mine
Mine mine mine
You're mine
Mine mine mine

I don't know just what is ailing me
I disappear into the night
You say if I love you I would set you free
But you and I both know that's a lie

But be patient love
I'm no angel love
But I'm trying to make the climb
Meditate love
Keep the faith love
Don't go brush it all aside

Cause you're mine
Mine mine mine
You're mine
Mine mine mine

I get angry when I'm sober
Dig the girl and spill the wine
Which part of me is taking over
In the middle of the night
Even though I make you cry
Don't go brush it all aside

Cause you're mine, mine, all mine girl
Mine mine mine




You're mine
Mine mine mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cobi's song "You're Mine" seem to tell the story of a relationship that is not without its rocky moments. The singer of the song has apparently recently arrived in Los Angeles, and met a woman named Marie on the downtown scene. The two of them took their time initially, but as the chorus makes clear, the singer has come to feel that Marie is his - "you're mine, mine, all mine girl." Despite the singer's possessiveness, he admits that he has his own issues - he "gets angry when [he's] sober" and seems to struggle with his own inner demons. Still, the singer urges Marie to "keep the faith" and not "brush it all aside." It's unclear what exactly is going wrong in the relationship, but the song suggests that there has been some tension between the two, and that the singer's possessiveness may be part of the problem. Nonetheless, he insists that Marie is his, and that he's trying to make things work despite his flaws.


There are a few different ways to interpret the lyrics of "You're Mine." On the one hand, it could be seen as a somewhat problematic anthem of possessiveness and control, with the singer insisting that Marie belongs to him and that he won't let her go. On the other hand, it could be seen as a more complex look at a relationship that is struggling but still has hope, with the singer admitting his own faults and urging Marie not to give up on him. Ultimately, the meaning of the song probably depends on the listener's own experiences and perspectives.
