Make You Mine
Grabbitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when I touch you, I need more
I breathe your air and make it mine
It becomes a drug that gets me high, high
When the lightning strikes
I need you more than the sky it lights
For one more time, I would give my life
Come on, baby, take it away, away
It feels like every time I touch your lips
You got me feeling like I don't exist
Until I make you mine
Until I make you mine
But when I smile, you make me cry
It happens every fucking time
And I feel like I'm stuck inside this game
Nothing's changing, I still play, play
When the lightning strikes
I need you more than the sky it lights
For one more time, I would give my life
Come on, baby, take it away, away
And when the thunder hits
It feels like every time I touch your lips
You got me feeling like I don't exist
Until I make you mine
Until I make you mine
In Grabbitz's song "Make You Mine," the artist describes a tumultuous, addictive relationship. The singer has experienced many things before but finds that being with this person has become a consuming obsession. The metaphor of breathing in their air and making it their own suggests that they are inextricably intertwined, and the person has become a metaphorical drug that gets the singer high.
Despite the intensity of their feelings, the singer acknowledges that the relationship is not always easy. They describe feeling stuck in a cycle of emotions where they are happy one moment but crying the next. The repetition of the phrase "every time" emphasizes the inevitability of their emotions when they are with this person. However, even with the difficulties, the singer needs this person, comparing them to lightning and thunder that he cannot live without.
The repeated refrain of "until I make you mine" reveals that the singer is still striving towards some goal in the relationship. They want to possess this person, to make them theirs completely. This hints at a potential unhealthy dynamic between the two individuals, as the singer's need for control could lead to possessiveness and harm in the relationship.

I've seen and done it all before
I've experienced everything in life
But when I touch you, I need more
But when I touch you, I crave for more
I breathe your air and make it mine
I inhale your presence and make it my own
It becomes a drug that gets me high, high
Your presence becomes addictive and intoxicating
When the lightning strikes
When something exciting or sudden happens
I need you more than the sky it lights
I need you more than anything in that moment
For one more time, I would give my life
I would do anything to experience that feeling with you again
Come on, baby, take it away, away
Come on, let's experience it once again
And when the thunder hits
When something dramatic happens
It feels like every time I touch your lips
It feels like an incredible rush every time we touch

I feel like I'm trapped in a cycle with you
Nothing's changing, I still play, play

The way the rhythm transitions so fluidly from slow to fast and back is so good. Also amazing vocals, perfectly fitting.
I found this song 5 years ago and I still love it. There really aren't many songs like this.
