About You
Fine Print Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe light could teach us where just to find
But I must confess the past is not behind me yet
Breathing down my neck,
Now decides to slow me down, yeah
It never felt like love was never gonna claim me,
I've never fought so far, keep me from going under
And when I think about you, baby and all goes away
Skies haven't been blue lately,
The weather's changing here
When I think about you, yeah
When I think ABOUT YOU, oh
Turning tides, it's something that is slowly done
Deep inside there's nothing that we can't overcome
There are now some days when nothing seems to go my way
All my mistakes was loud as blowing thunder
It never felt like love was never gonna claim me,
I've never fought so far, keep me from going under
And when I think about you, baby and all goes away
Skies haven't been blue lately,
The weather's changing here
When I think about you, yeah
When I think ABOUT YOU, oh
The lyrics of Fine Print's "About You" convey an acknowledgement of personal flaws and an honest reflection on how the past can continue to shape our present. The opening lines "Pride is something we don't hide behind, Maybe light could teach us where just to find" suggest a willingness to confront and change oneself, rather than hiding behind a facade of pride. Even so, the singer admits that their past mistakes continue to haunt them, as seen in the line "But I must confess the past is not behind me yet, Breathing down my neck, Now decides to slow me down, yeah."
However, the song does not dwell solely on these struggles, and instead offers hope through the image of love providing an escape. The repeated refrain of "And when I think about you, baby and all goes away, Skies haven't been blue lately, The weather's changing here" suggests a sense of clarity and rejuvenation when thinking about the person they love. This is reinforced with the line "I've never fought so far, keep me from going under," implying that love has provided a source of strength and resilience.
Overall, "About You" is a song about recognizing one's own imperfections and shortcomings, but finding solace and hope in the presence of love.
Line by Line Meaning
Pride is something we don't hide behind
We don't let pride control us or make us pretend to be someone we're not
Maybe light could teach us where just to find
We need guidance to find our way and make the right choices
But I must confess the past is not behind me yet
We still carry the burdens of our past mistakes and experiences
Breathing down my neck,
Our past haunts us and feels like it's always close by
Now decides to slow me down, yeah
Our past can hold us back and make it difficult to move forward
It never felt like love was never gonna claim me,
At times, it seemed like we were never going to find true love
I've never fought so far, keep me from going under
We've had to fight hard to keep ourselves from drowning in our struggles
And when I think about you, baby and all goes away
When we focus on our love for someone, it makes our problems disappear
Skies haven't been blue lately,
Life has been tough and things seem gloomy
The weather's changing here
Our circumstances are constantly changing and unpredictable
When I think about you, yeah
Our love for someone gives us hope and makes us feel better
Turning tides, it's something that is slowly done
Positive change takes time and effort, and doesn't happen overnight
Deep inside there's nothing that we can't overcome
We have the strength and resilience to overcome any challenge
There are now some days when nothing seems to go my way
Life can be tough and feel like everything is going wrong at times
All my mistakes was loud as blowing thunder
Our past mistakes can feel overwhelming and deafeningly loud

LYRICS:
Welcome to space.
What were you expecting?
It’s a dangerous place.
Thank you for investing.
Go there for your rota, there for your orders
Fill up these quotas, we'll bill you for quarters
Report to your foreman but watch for marauders
‘Cus If you get eaten there’s fees for your mourners
Prosperity’s there in the care of magnates
In Halcyon heaven awaits!
Did you think this was supposed to look like the posters
Well it mostly does, oh if you only read closer
Just ten short years to a new frontier
Snooze as you cruise and you’ll wake up here!
You’ve been trapped in that ship for an awful long time
So perhaps you have simply forgot what you signed
Honestly? Did you not read the colony policy?
That defines you as company property?
That waivers your say in autonomy?
The conglomerate’s got you in lock and key
We put the dollar back into idolatry
If you’re upset you can rent an apology
We are a family forged in bureaucracy
No I in ‘team’ but there’s con in ‘economy’
Were you expecting adventure?
Were you hoping for fun?
My friend you’re indentured
And pleasure’s exempt from your tenure
So venture back down to your slum
That's provided at generous prices
Your worth is determined by your sacrifices
A small term of service when down on the surface
Internment’s a freebie that comes with the purchase
We work. To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to give
Ourselves the rights to buy
Ourselves the right to live
To earn the right to die.
Welcome to our little town! Why don’t you settle down?
Here, just fill out the paperwork and you can look around
We’re happy as can be inside the valley cannery
We live to pack the cans of meat and not to question where it’s found
Until we end up in the ground around the corner in the yard
You know we thought we liked the sound of finding glory in the stars
The board has taught us to be proud of never reaching very far
So we earn what we’re allowed and give it right back at the bar
The Ale to cure what ails ya’!
Zero-Gee Brew! Your favourite flavour!
So work til’ you bleed – ennobled by labour
Then purchase relief from your local retailer
If you’d rather drop dead that’s fine
But you know that dropping down dead bears a fine
So you do your job, I’ll do mine
I gotta meet a six foot deep bottom line
We make a fortune for the board by selling boredom door to door
Because it’s all that we deserve and it is all we can afford
The secrets of the universe and all the worlds to be explored
But our dreams are back on earth and now the work is our reward
And you’ll be grateful for seats at the table
Though it dips at one end and the bench is unstable
You may waste your days but at least you were able
To pay off your grave since we leased you your cradle
Be faithful and pray we’ll repay what you invest
Behave as you slave for humanity’s interest
On account that you’re all on account
and we’re quickly amounting humanity’s interest
You’d think that we’d sink to the brink of rebellion
With markets dependant on peddling weapons
The architect tells them the secret to heaven
Is simply consuming whatever we sell them
We work. To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to give
Ourselves the rights to buy
Ourselves the right to live
To earn the right to die.
You should have read the fine print, my friend.
Should have read the fine print
You should have read the fine print, my friend.
Should have read the fine print
(Welcome to our little town! Why don’t you settle down?
Here, just fill out the paperwork and you can look around
We work and then we work and then we work and then we work
And then we work and then we work and then we end up in the ground)
(WORK WORK HURRY HURRY
WORK WORK WORRY WORRY
WORK WORK HURRY HURRY
WORRY HURYY WORK WORK)
You should have read the fine print, my friend.
Should have read the fine print
You should have read the fine print, my friend.

We sacrifice ourselves to the Lethal Company, rotting day and night only food from the dollar tree.
And here where I stand with Jesters and Brackens, the orders are piling and boy are they stackin’?
With big bad puppies with razor sharp teeth, throughout this mission I can hardly breathe.
But it’s the best we can do to feed all our loved ones, so it’s best to give it all than to give some.
Since we work, to earn the right to work!

@@andrefasching1332ah yes, idiots talking about things they don’t understand.
“I’m so much smarter than these ANIME profiles 🤓👆, god they know Nothing !!”
I’m talking about you. This song is about Worker’s struggle, and they are ANALYZING IT. It is riddled with opinions and they do not state it as fact because it is an analysis. Not a statement on economics. How thick does someone have to be to understand?
Capitalism to the Worker is all full of Woes. There have been world revolutions across the globe because of it- Unions exist because capitalism is full of exploitation. It’s not a new opinion and has been shared by intellectuals. Communist and Socialist thought is spearheaded by these individuals (who do have extensive experience in economics by the way), that have sympathy for the lower class. The inequality that they preach is not even Economics, it’s this working, pan-historical viewpoint. What is obviously stupid about people discussing this Viewpoint that they have seen throughout their lives?
Ironically, it’s obviously opinion and you can’t even see that. Ironically, it’s obvious that you are oblivious to how actual economies work. Ironically enough, unhappy and unmotivated workers obviously don’t work as well. Ironically enough, monopolies and companies that do these sorts of things are bad for the economy. There is no money moving in the economy, no competition, nothing. If workers only work to spend it at their own company, then the workers cannot exactly help move the economy along by spending their wealth elsewhere.
Ridiculous stuff.

School.
Edit: actually, life itself
@TigerGoblin
This is an amazing song. Gives exactly the inescapable burdening feeling of living on Halcyon colonies.
@moss_yt
If y’all catch me walking around muttering something about “the conglomerate’s got you in lock and key” then mind your business.
