Follow Me
I Am The World Trade Center Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You turn to me
We know the way your eyes take shape
You fall for me
I can't take it
But you can't even look at me
There's some things that you can't hide
Come on over to the other side
But you can't be without me
Follow me
Take all of me
Follow me until I turn
They turn and watch my face unfold
You can't see what this could be
But you don't trust yourself with me
You can't take it without me
You can't live without me
The lyrics to "Follow Me" by I Am The World Trade Center are a complex and emotionally charged representation of a relationship. The first few lines express the idea of two people who are walking together, but who have completely different perspectives on the relationship. The singer understands that the other person is falling for them, but they personally are unable to reciprocate those feelings. Despite this, the other person seems unable to look away, and the singer takes advantage of this.
The chorus of the song reflects this dynamic as well. The singer urges the other person to follow them, promising to give themselves completely. However, the second half of the chorus reveals a darker motivation for this urge: the other person cannot be without them, and the singer is aware of this. The lines, "You can't see what this could be / But you don't trust yourself with me," are particularly striking, as they imply a level of manipulation and control in the relationship.
