hey you
F.T.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only I could be more like you and ignore
All of the damage you've been causing me
He's a funny man, he's a funny man
But his jokes do not make me laugh

Nursing matters now more than ever
But still you left me you left me bleeding
Love me and I'll love you back

You traveled to Jupiter and back at light speed
And now I've aged I've aged 96 years

The choices were made perfectly clear
And still you left me you left me bleeding
And I do not I do not want to bleed anymore
Love me and I'll love you back

Love me and I'll love you back

I won't dress like a target
If you ignore the phone





If you ignore the phone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to F.T.G.’s song Hey You express the frustration and pain caused by a manipulative and hurtful person. The singer wishes they could be more like the person who is causing them pain, someone who is able to ignore the damage they have caused. However, this person is not someone who brings joy since their attempts at humor fall flat.


The chorus brings in the theme of love and the need for it. The nursing profession is mentioned as a crucial profession, especially in times of crisis like now. Despite this, the person causing pain leaves the singer to bleed emotionally. The use of space travel in the lyrics as a metaphor for time passing and aging serve to show the impact the actions of the manipulative person have had on the singer. The choices the person makes are clear yet they continue to hurt the singer.


The final lines of the song express a desire to not be hurt anymore, but to be loved in return. The mention of not dressing like a target and ignoring the phone come across as a plea to stop being manipulated and controlled.

Hey you
Out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Standing in the aisles with itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight

Hey you
Out there on your own, sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you
With your ear against the wall, waiting for someone to call out
Could you touch me?
Hey you
Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home

[Guitar Solo]

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

Hey you
Out there on the road, always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you
Out there beyond the wall, breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you
Don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

(We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall...)
