Without You
Fabric Bear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shifting all your goals to have your way
Im wasted on the glance of yours
It leaves me blind
Failing to escape the undertoe
Pressure falling overhead like snow
We′re living at a break neck speed
And fail to slow
You spend half the night asking yourself
Am I better off with somewhere else?
Because every where I try to be is hell
Without you
Without you
Its hell,
Without you
Without you
Failing to escape the debts, that catch your tail
Trying to relight your flames,
Yet they lie stale
Talking to your pals feels like incline
As for all the blanks and blunt replies
Work over time
You spend half the night asking yourself
Am I better off with somewhere else?
Because every where I try to be is hell
Without you
Without you
Without you
Im in hell without you
You spend half the night asking yourself
Am I better off with somewhere else?
Because every where I try to be is hell
Without you
Without you
Its hell
Without you
Without you
The lyrics of Fabric Bear's song "Without You" depict a troubled and conflicted relationship. The opening lines describe a situation in which the partner is using all their energy to maintain the relationship, trying to please the other person and achieve their goals. However, despite the effort, the singer is left feeling unfulfilled and disoriented. The use of the metaphor of "undertoe" and "pressure falling overhead like snow" highlights the feeling of being caught in a current that is pulling them down and suffocating them. The couple is also living at a breakneck pace, unable to slow down or enjoy their time together.
The second part of the song further expands on the difficulties of the relationship. The singer is struggling with their own insecurities and feelings of inadequacy, constantly questioning whether they are better off without their partner or not. The attempts to reignite their passion and connection feel futile and the conversations with friends seem pointless as they offer little insight or support. The repetition of the verse "Without you, without you, I'm in hell without you" emphasizes the central theme of the song, which is the devastating impact of losing someone close.
Overall, "Without You" explores the complex and tumultuous emotions of a troubled relationship, capturing the highs and lows of love.

[Verse 1]
Using all your breath to fan my flames,
Shifting all the goals to have your way,
I’m wasted on the glance of yours,
It leaves me blind.
Failing to escape the undertow,
Pressure falling overhead like now,
We’re living at a break-neck speed and fail to slow.

You spend all of the nights asking yourself
“Am i better off in somewhere else?
Cause everywhere i try to be is hell without you”
