Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you talk to me
feels good
markthe spot for me on your photographs
feels so good when you don't know
i won't stop even if you go
i can't even see
don't say a word if you're lonely
i can't even see
feel (drink for me)
mark the spot for me on your photographs
(drink for me)
the second you wooke up
i'm in your mind
tearing you up
making you mine
the way you talk to me
the way you talk to me
the way you talk to me
In the opening lines of Dpat's "Above Us," the singer speaks to a lover that brings him pleasure and comfort through their communication. However, despite this positive feeling, the singer admits that he is unable to fully understand or see the dynamic between them. He asks his lover to "mark the spot" for him in their photographs, implying that he wants a tangible representation of their relationship. The repetition of the line "feels so good when you don't know" suggests that there is a sense of mystery or uncertainty in the relationship that adds to their enjoyment of each other.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more possessive and jealous, stating that he won't stop pursuing his lover even if they attempt to distance themselves. The lines "the second you woke up, I'm in your mind, tearing you up, making you mine" suggest an obsessive and controlling mindset. The repetition of the phrase "the way you talk to me" highlights the importance of communication and connection between the singer and their lover, but also implies that the singer is fixated on how their lover interacts with him.
Overall, "Above Us" is a complex exploration of intimacy, desire, and control within a relationship. The lyrics hint at a sense of unease and uncertainty but also highlight the intense pleasure that can come from a strong connection with someone else.
