Dan Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes like lighters
They shine inside my Parka
Up with the winds,
Up with the skies,
Up with the fears
But you know with you I'm fine,
You and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
You and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
You and me we're just fine
With you I'm brighter,
My eyes like lighters
They shine inside my Parka
Up with the winds,
Up with the skies,
Up with the fears
But you know with you I'm fine,
You and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
You and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
We're just fine, just fine
You and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
Oh, you and me we're just fine
1 million invisible lines
Out your head and into mine
We're just fine, just fine
We're just fine, just fine
The lyrics to Dan Black's song "U + Me" convey the sense of extreme happiness and contentment that comes from being in a comfortable and fulfilling relationship. The opening lines, "With you I'm brighter, my eyes like lighters," suggest that being with this person enhances the singer's sense of self and makes them feel more alive. The image of shining inside a Parka also conveys this feeling of warmth and protection that comes from being with someone you love.
The chorus, "You and me we're just fine, one million invisible lines, out your head and into mine," speaks to the intimate connection between two people who are in sync with each other. The use of "invisible lines" suggests a deep and complex connection that goes beyond words and actions. It is as if the two people are connected on a level that cannot be seen but is felt nonetheless.
The repetition of the lines "We're just fine" at the end of each verse reinforces the idea that the singer is incredibly happy and content with their relationship. The overall tone of the song is celebratory and joyful, a reflection of the intense connection between the two people in question.
