Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
YOU USUALLY FORCE YOURSELF TO CHEER.
FORCE YOURSELF FOR TO LAUGH
FORCE YOURSELF FOR TO STAND
YOU TRY HARD BUT YOU'RE LATE.
YOU TRY HARD BUT YOU'RE LATE.
AAAAAAAA
AAAAAAA
A MAZE IN YOUR SOUL, AND YOU ?RE NOT AWARE
LISTEN, I AM FAR FROM THIS.
LETTING IT ALL SLIP AWAY
I WILL NOT BE BY YOUR SIDE
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ANYWHERE.
REFRÃO
YOU HAVE LONG DREAMS BUT YOUR WAYS ARE TOO SHORT
VOICES ARE SILENT, THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO TALK
YOU FORCE YOURSELF TO LIKE SOMEONE, THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I?M TELLING YOU, YOU?LL NOT GET THERE
YOU WILL NOT GET THERE.

The lyrics of "You Are Mine" by David Hass & Friends convey a message of distance and detachment. The first stanza starts with the singer saying that they are out of reach, implying that they are unreachable or unattainable for someone. The following lines describe the other person attempting to force themselves to be happy and to keep up appearances, but failing in the end. The repetition of "you try hard but you're late" emphasizes the futility of their efforts. The chorus repeats the title phrase "you are mine," but the singer is not physically present with the other person, indicating that the phrase is more of a possession or promise than a reality. The second verse is somewhat more abstract, with the singer listening to the other person's "whisper of despair" and describing a "maze" in their soul that they are not aware of.
Overall, the song seems to be about a relationship that is not working out, but one party is still holding on to it. The singer is trying to express that they are not really there for the other person emotionally or physically, even if there is a sense of possessiveness or obligation. The repetition of "you will not get there" in the final chorus highlights the hopelessness of the situation and the fact that the other person needs to accept it and move on.

I tried to commit suicide 2 months ago and heard this song and it brought me to my knees crying. I’m sure I am not worthy of God’s love and grace however I do know He is with me or I wouldn’t be here on this earth.

Mark. God has a plan for your life.
Stick close to him.
