BECAUSE OF YOU
Jager Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how I try
To give you all my life'
Cause everything I did
I wore my heart on my sleeve

One body's not enough
If there's no soul within
I think we got it rough
Livin' out the mess I'm in

No, no, don't you shout!
I don't wanna keep you out
Come on, don't you scream!
I still wanna live the dream

Oh no, don't let go!
Did I ever say no more?
Don't wanna blow you away
It's because of you
I thought that I knew
And now what is left to me?
The more I give the more you take
To feel complete
Just to feel complete

Because of you
I've never been true
I never really knew
I was just the man to please your ecstasy
For your ecstasy
Just because of you

You're always in my mind
And I was feeling blind
Now can you face the fact
That I'm not turning back?

I gave up everything
And it was just for you
Money, glory, fame
My soul and god even more

No, no, don't you shout!
I don't wanna keep you out
Come on, don't you scream!
I still wanna live the dream

Oh oh, don't let go!
Did I ever say no more?
Don't wanna blow you away

Because of you
I've never been true
I never really knew
I was just the man to please your ecstasy
For your ecstasy
Because of you

Just because of you

So you hide all alone, how do you feel girl?
Turn around, take my hand, look at me now

Just because of you, because of you, because of you, because of you

Because of you
I've never been true
I never really knew
I was just the man to please your ecstasy




For your ecstasy
Because of you

Overall Meaning

In the song "Because of You," Jager sings about his struggles in a relationship where he feels the pressure to give his all, but he's not sure if he's being true to himself or just doing everything to please his partner. The opening lines convey his desperation and persistence to make the relationship work, despite being vulnerable and transparent. He goes on to say that a physical connection is not enough in a relationship, it also needs to have emotions and souls intertwined.


As the chorus comes in, Jager is pleading with his partner not to give up on him yet. He wants to keep living the dream and not let go. He acknowledges that he may not have always been honest with himself and his partner in the past, and perhaps he was just trying to please her without being true to himself. However, he still wants to move forward together and not blow things away.


Jager's thoughts and emotions reflect the struggles that many people face in relationships, where they may not always know what they want or may feel that they're compromising too much. It's a painful but relatable song that captures the highs and lows of being in love.

"What? The 86 disappeared!"

"BROTHER LOOK"

Because of you plays

86 appears and does a badass overtake

The chills I got when this played in MF Ghost was crazy! Gave me immediate flashbacks to when Takumi's did blind attacks with his AE86 in Initial D!

@basecaveman20xboxone2

Honestly same the show is turning out to be The perfect blend between call backs and actual ne content I'm loving the fact that the not completely riding of of initial Ds success and its it's own story Plus the whole side character get more attention is awesome

@metaliczic96

Kanata actually applied the same overtake technique used by Tachi Tomoyuki (Disappearing Line). Kakeru focused on the inside too much that he didn't pay attention to his outside line.

@mishima433

FOREVER!!! TOGETHER!!!

@Sam-vb2vh

​@@basecaveman20xboxone2Exactly my thoughts as well man, spot on. I am enjoying the show SO MUCH its literally giving me the vibes I had when I first watched initial d. Its amazing.

I got 2 things to say:
1. It’s so nostalgic how we can come together and comment on a 9yr old eurobeat upload.
2. I almost fell out of my chair when I heard this in MFG

@victorafjp

I know you are thinking "WHO ARE THE SOUND DIRECTORS?" WHY THEY KNOW THIS?"

@Mx64MaxyImpress

After I won't Fall Apart from Fifth Stage
He's back with this, absolute goosebumps when Kanata passed Yajikita Brothers blindly!

@tntk3218

Exactly my thoughts as well 👌
