Without You
Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haunting me
There's nothing I can do
Without you
(without you)
I stand here paralyzed
I've realized
Without you
(without you)
If I could talk to you
Embrace you
Whisper in your ear
I would tell you
That, you are
The only,
The only thing I need
I hear you calling me
Haunting me
I am hypnotized
Mesmerized
As I walk toward the fire
The fear comes over me
And then I see
The meaning of desire
If you could see my face
Hold my hands
Look into my eyes
I would show you
That, you are
The only
The only thing I need
The lyrics in Ferry Corsten's song Without You describe the overwhelming feeling of loss and emptiness when someone you love is no longer with you. The singer hears the voice of the person they love calling out to them, haunting them, but realizing that there's nothing they can do without their presence. The singer becomes paralyzed with the realization that life feels pointless and empty without the person they love.
The singer imagines what they would say to the person they love if they could talk to them, hold them, and look into their eyes. They would express that the person they love is the only thing they need in their life. The singer is so mesmerized and hypnotized by thoughts of the person they love that they are willing to walk towards the fire, to go through anything to be reunited with them.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of deep longing and the power of true love. The lyrics evoke a sense of helplessness when someone you love is gone and how they continue to be a part of you despite their physical absence.
