Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just me and you
You promised me the moon and the sun, the birds and the sky
You promised me a wonderful life they were underlast
You promised me all diamonds and pearls that I never kept
You promised me where the roses are gold but soon I forgot
Just me and you
You promised me I could be your queen and you be my king
You promised me a white wedding dress where is your ring
You promised me your time of ? your kisses of life
So try to show these possible things ‘cause I'm wasting my time
You promised me
Just me and you
Tu est foutu
Tu tu tu tu tu tu.
I don't know what to do in my life
But I know my rule ? music ? a second chance
You promised me
You promised me
You promised me
Tu est foutu
Tu tu tu tu tu tu
The song "You Promised Me" by In Grid is a heartbreaking lament about a relationship that was based on false promises. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of feeling let down by someone we love and trusted. The theme of broken promises is central to the song and is repeated throughout the chorus. In this relationship, the singer was promised the moon and the sun, a wonderful life, diamonds and pearls, and even where the roses are gold. Each time, however, the promises were forgotten, and the singer was left wanting. The chorus of the song, "You promised me, just me and you" reinforces that the singer believed in the idea of a future together but was ultimately let down.
The lyrics of the song evoke feelings of betrayal, anger, and sadness. The singer was promised a white wedding dress, but there is no ring, and the singer's time is not respected. The repetition of "Tu est foutu" at the end of the song is an expression of frustration and disappointment. Translated to English, it means "You are finished", or "You screwed up". Despite the pain and disappointment, the singer recognizes that music offers a way to heal and perhaps find a second chance at love.
In summary, "You Promised Me" is a song that communicates the heartbreak of a broken relationship through the repetition of the idea of false promises.
