Use Me
Eran James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me,
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff,
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used,
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up,
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me,
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through,
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes,
You just keep on using me until you use me up,
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me,
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me,
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used,
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up,
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do,
It ain't too bad the way you're using me,
Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do,
To do the things you do,
Until you use me up
The lyrics of this song, "Use Me" by Eran James, suggest that the singer is aware that his friends and family think that his partner is only using him. Despite that, the singer is not bothered by that fact, rather he wants his partner to keep using him until she has used him up. Additionally, the lyrics suggest that the singer is enjoying being used by his partner, as long as it feels good. The lyrics then imply that sometimes his partner can be rude, but it doesn't bother the singer as long as she continues to love him. The lyrics can be interpreted as a portrayal of an unhealthily dependent relationship in which one person is using the other, but the other is not ready to let go.
Furthermore, the lyrics contain strong imagery like "You just keep on using me until you use me up", which can be interpreted as a metaphor that suggests the singer is fully aware of the consequences of allowing himself to be used but in the end is willingly subjecting himself to being used to his last breath. The lyrics also convey the singer's perspective that he is getting something in return in this relationship, and so it's okay to continue being used. Overall, the lyrics suggest the complexity of human relationships.

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me,
My brother sat me down and had a discussion with me,
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me,
Advising me against being a pushover for you
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through,
I'm certain he had good intentions but after our chat,

Because I'm definitely using you to do the things you do
To do the things you do,
To do all of your actions and deeds - I'm using you too
Until you use me up
Until you've exhausted all potential use from me
