You & Me
Disclosure; London Grammar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn away and kick out the red sand
Summer is gone and now I'm bleeding
I can't tell now you're thinking of leaving
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
If you can
Black rose on a dusty road its on fire
Burns in the distances higher
Hot stones both marks if they're my own
Stretches to the distant horizon
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
Oh darling are you gonna leave me?
I'll watch you if you can
If you can
If you can
If you can
I am still holding onto your waistband
Turn away and kick out the red sand
Summer is gone and now I'm bleeding
I can't tell now you're thinking of leaving
The first verse of the song, "I am still holding onto your waistband, turn away and kick out the red sand, summer is gone and now I'm bleeding, I can't tell now you're thinking of leaving," sets up a scene where the singer is holding onto their loved one but is uncertain of their affection. The second verse, "Black rose on a dusty road, it's on fire, burns in the distance higher, hot stones, both marks if they're my own, stretches to the distant horizon," creates a vivid image of a barren landscape which reflects the feeling of uncertainty and distance.
Throughout the song, the repetition of "Oh darling are you gonna leave me? I'll watch you if you can" creates a sense of desperation and fear of abandonment. The use of first-person perspective and intimate language like "waistband" and "darling" makes the song more personal and relatable. The haunting and melancholic melody of London Grammar's vocals is complemented by Disclosure's electronic beats and production, making the song a beautiful blend of genres.
Overall, "You & Me" is a song about the fear of losing someone you love and the desperation to hold onto them. Its combination of haunting melody and electronic production makes it a memorable and emotional song.

You got the lyrics slight wrong. Its:
"You help me lose my mind
And you bring me something I can't define
Help me lose my mind, make wonder
What I felt before
Keep biding my time,
How much longer?
Who've I been waiting for"
Neverthless, the video looks awesome :)

It's painful to watch wrong lyrics over an overall great video.
Help Me Lose My Mind by Disclosure:
Talk to me and watch me crumble
You will see me come undone
Faithfully I will look over
There I'll find what you've become
(What you've become)
You help me lose my mind
And you bring me something I can't define
Help me lose my mind, make me wonder
What I felt before
Keep biding my time,
How much longer?
Who've I been waiting for
Jealousy will be washed over
Carefully we look on through
Could it be easy to start over?
Somehow I will bring you too
(What you've become)
You help me lose my mind
And you bring me something I can't define
Help me lose my mind, make me wonder
What I felt before
Keep biding my time,
How much longer?
Who've I been waiting for
I've been waiting waiting waiting [x6]
You help me lose my mind
And you bring me something I can't define
Help me lose my mind, make me wonder
What I felt before
Keep biding my time,
How much longer?
Who've I been waiting for
