Eva & Manu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might loose if you let me down
Now you see I'm begging please
Without you there is no sound
I can run, I can dance, I can play loud
With the rhythm of your drum
Don't leave me emtpy
I know this feeling comes and goes
Sometimes it's hard to be alone
I will do anything
Don't let me go
I will do anything
I need you now
I've had enough of hide and seek
Take my heart and let it bleed
You used to tell me how you loved me
Say it again I need it now
I can run, I can dance, I can play loud
With the rhythm of your drum
Don't pour me emtpy
I can run, I can dance, I can play loud
With the rhythm of your drum
Don't pour me emtpy
I know this feeling comes and goes
Sometimes it's hard to be alone
I will do anything
Don't let me go
I will do anything
I need you now
How do you know
If you won't even try
We've got time
How do you know
If you won't even try
We've got time
The lyrics of Eva & Manu's "Between Us" speak to the essential need for human connection and the solidarity that can be found when two people are truly in sync. The opening lines, "Hold on tight, talk to me / I might lose if you let me down / Now you see I'm begging please / Without you there is no sound" encapsulate the sense of desperation that can sometimes arise when one feels like they are losing the connection they have with someone else. The singer is essentially saying that they need the other person to stay close and stay engaged if they are going to be able to keep moving forward.
The lyrics go on to describe the ways in which the singer feels energized and alive when they are in synch with the other person - "I can run, I can dance, I can play loud / With the rhythm of your drum" - and how empty and depleted they feel when that connection is severed - "Don't leave me empty." Ultimately, the singer expresses a willingness to do anything to get the other person to stay engaged - "Don't let me go / I will do anything / I need you now" - even as they acknowledge that this feeling of desperation comes and goes.
The song reaches a tipping point when the singer directly addresses the other person, demanding that they take the relationship seriously and be honest about their feelings: "I've had enough of hide and seek / Take my heart and let it bleed / You used to tell me how you loved me / Say it again, I need it now." The repeated refrain of "I will do anything / Don't let me go / I will do anything / I need you now" underscores the sense of urgency and the stakes at play.

If the dictionary had a visual illustration of the word "underappreciated" in it, it would have your faces in it! You both have beautiful voices, and the music is of so high quality compared to other artists and bands nowadays. Keep up with the good work. <3

Sadly, Youtube has taught me how many utterly brilliant musicians there are out there who for some reason ( refusal to kiss the recording industries arse?) are almost invisible. I can understand when world class musicians don’t want to get onto the commercial band wagon (Lisa Fischer comes to mind) but when superb musicianship such as Eva & Manu’s is ignored I know there’s something seriously wrong with the industry.
