Used
De-Phazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So are we changing
Or are we growing apart?
Am I just crazy
Or are we making things hard?
Don't wanna give up
Don't wanna dance in the dark
It just feels like
Feels like we can't even talk no more

Tell me what happened
What the hell happened?
Looking at me like a stranger
Tell me what happened
What the hell happened?
I never thought we'd be changing

Are we holding on to something
That has turned to nothing
It used to be love
Are we on the right track?
'Cause all we do is look back
On everything that we had
It used to be love
Summer nights were endless
Breathing smoke in Venice
Too good to pretend
It used to be love
It used to be love

When did we lose it?
When did the feeling go south?
Told me your secrets
You said that you'd never been more in love

Tell me what happened
What the hell happened?
Looking at me like a stranger
Tell me what happened
What the hell happened?
I never thought we'd be changing

Are we holding on to something
That has turned to nothing
It used to be love
Are we on the right track?
'Cause all we do is look back
On everything that we had
It used to be love
Summer nights were endless
Breathing smoke in Venice
Too good to pretend
It used to be love
It used to be love

We had it all
Swear we had it all

Are we on the right track?
'Cause all we do is look back
On everything that we had
It used to be love
Summer nights were endless
Breathing smoke in Venice
Too good to pretend




It used to be love
It used to be love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Used" by De-Phazz revolve around the theme of a relationship that has lost its spark and is going through a rough patch. The opening lines of the song set the stage for the emotion that follows. The singer is questioning whether they have grown apart or are just in a phase where they are changing as people. They are uncertain whether the feeling of distance between them is mutual or just a figment of their imagination. The line "Are we making things hard?" shows that the singer is aware that their actions might be contributing to the lack of harmony in their relationship.


The chorus of the song repeats the question "Are we holding on to something that has turned to nothing? It used to be love." This line is indicative of the realization that the relationship is not what it used to be. The singer is wondering if they should continue to hold on to something that no longer exists, or if they should move on. The lines "Are we on the right track? 'Cause all we do is look back on everything that we had" suggests that the singer is aware of the pattern of looking back on past memories and the inability to make progress towards a better future.


The verses that follow talk about the moments when the relationship was still alive and intense. The lines "Summer nights were endless, breathing smoke in Venice" shows a moment of happiness and joy that the couple had shared. The repeated refrain of "It used to be love" reinforces the idea that the relationship is no longer the same. In conclusion, the song reflects on love, loss, and uncertainty in a relationship that was once perfect.
