BECAUSE OF YOU
Credit Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s because of you.

I know my love ain't not lie
I can tell
I′ll tell the truth.
You can't run and hide from the morning light.
I played the fool
Running around without my head.
But I know that it's true
Because I hold my love with the highest respect.

I rode miles away
Only to find that shit don′t change.
So I revise all I love
And put it in a higher frame.
You can′t hold the dark
Without the light of day.
It's because of you.

I know my love ain′t not lie.
I can tell
I'll tell the truth.
You can′t run and hide from the morning light
I played the fool
Running around without my head.
But I know that it's true.
Because I hold my love with the highest respect.





It′s because of you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Credit Electric's song Because of You are full of meaning and depth. The first line "It's because of you" suggests that the singer is thankful for someone or something that has had a profound impact on their life. The overall theme of the song is love, but the lyrics go beyond the typical declarations of love that we hear in many songs. Instead, the lyrics touch on the complexities of love and how it can shape our lives.


The second line "I know my love ain't not lie" may seem like a double negative, but it actually means that the singer's love is not a lie; it's sincere and true. The third line "I can tell, I'll tell the truth" suggests that the singer values honesty, even when it's difficult. The phrase "you can't run and hide from the morning light" implies that the truth will always come to light eventually, no matter how hard you try to hide it.


The next few lines describe the singer's past mistakes, where they "played the fool" and "ran around without my head." However, the singer recognizes that their love is true and genuine, and they hold it "with the highest respect." The following lines "I rode miles away, only to find that shit don't change" suggest that the singer has grown and learned from their past mistakes, but they also recognize that sometimes, things just don't change, no matter how hard we try.


The final lines "So I revise all I love, and put it in a higher frame. You can't hold the dark without the light of day. It's because of you" suggest that the singer has reevaluated their priorities and values, and they now see love in a different light. The line "you can't hold the dark without the light of day" implies that love has both light and dark sides, and we need to embrace both to fully understand it. The song ends on a positive note, with the singer thanking the person or thing that has helped them see love in a new way.

Lyrics I personally created for all of you my beautiful people:

it's because of you
i know my love lie ain't no lie.
i can tell,
tell the truth.
you can't run and hide from the morning light.
and i played the fool
running around without my head.
and i know that it's true
because i hold my love with the highest respect.

i rode miles away
only to find that shit don't change.
so i revise all i love and put it in a higher frame.
you can't the hold the dark without the light of day.

and it's because of you,
i know my love ain't no lie.
i can tell,
tell the truth.
you can't run and hide from the morning light.
and i played the fool
running without my head.
and i know that it's true
because i hold my love with the highest respect.

it's because of you.

it's sad to see so many beautiful people in the comments, but beautiful to see how music brings us to this place of soul healing.
sad that loneliness and hatred comply us to depression, sad that sensitivity is considered a weakness.

somehow satisfied with my sadness, proud at least to be here, amongst music lovers, the dreamers.
