Me and You
Dumb Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sky, the trees, the ground
It's filled the space down in my heart
And turned it into sound
I'm just as scared as you
'Cause the only love we've ever known turned ugly
And turned cruel
It turned ugly
And turned cruel
And we're not like that,
Me and you
And we're not like that,
Me and you
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Take me far as India,
Or take me to your room
I'd go with you to anywhere
Maybe we could find some truth
We could lose ourselves, just for a while
And act like total fools
It's a way I know to feel alive
In a world
So sad and cruel
In a world
So sad and cruel
And we're not like that,
Me and you
And we're not like that,
Me and you
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
We're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Me and you
The lyrics to Dumb Angel's song "Me and You" describe a love that consumes everything within reach. The singer describes how this love fills their heart and turns it into sound, all-encompassing and intense. However, both the singer and the person they are singing to are scared of this love because the only love they've experienced in the past has turned "ugly" and "cruel". Despite this fear, the singer insists that they are not like that - they are different; they are "me and you".
The second half of the song takes a more adventurous turn, with the singer offering to go with the other person anywhere - "far as India, or take me to your room". They want to get lost with this person, to "act like total fools", and find some truth in a world that can be "so sad and cruel". The song closes with the repetition of "me and you", driving home the idea that this love is unique and different from what has come before.
Overall, "Me and You" is a song about a love that is both powerful and potentially scary, but ultimately worth pursuing. It celebrates the differences between the singer and the person they are singing to, and suggests that they may be able to find something real and honest together even in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Line by Line Meaning
This love has covered all I see:
The sky, the trees, the ground
It's filled the space down in my heart
And turned it into sound
The feeling of love has engulfed everything around me; everything appears more vibrant and beautiful. It possesses my heart and intensifies into a strong emotion that can be felt not only by myself but by others as well.
You tell me that you're scared of it
I'm just as scared as you
'Cause the only love we've ever known turned ugly
And turned cruel
You express your fear about this love just as I do because the love we have been involved in has turned dark and cruel. It's understandable for us to have doubts and concerns about whether or not this love will be similar to the past ones.
And we're not like that,
Me and you
And we're not like that,
Me and you
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
However, me and you are not like the love we have encountered before. We are different from those past experiences, and our love will be harmonious and genuine. This repetition emphasizes me and you's unique connection and how it contrasts with everything else.
Take me far as India,
Or take me to your room
I'd go with you to anywhere
Maybe we could find some truth
We could lose ourselves, just for a while
And act like total fools
It's a way I know to feel alive
In a world
So sad and cruel
In a world
So sad and cruel
Together, we can go anywhere, and through our adventures, we may find genuine happiness and uncover the truth about life togetherness. It's okay to be carefree and silly at times, and it's something that helps us appreciate the small things in life that make it beautiful, even in a world that can be full of sadness and despair.
And we're not like that,
Me and you
And we're not like that,
Me and you
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Again, this repetition of the previous line highlights the idea that me and you are different from the love we have encountered before. We are unique and are not perfect, but our love is real and unlike anything else.
We're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
And we're not like that
No, no
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Me and you
With more repetition, the idea of me and you being different from other relationships is highlighted. The love we have is real and untarnished, and nothing can change that. Our love is unique and special.
