Me Plus One
Kasabian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too messed up I should have followed you
Where did you get that smile and that fine hair
I get my kicks from your walk in
I should have gone I should have been there

You come to take me away
Like a little white rabbit from yesterday
Little things said, said and done

I should have shot myself on the run

I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right now
I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right now
So come on

She's come back from the winter
Looking straight into my eyes
Now I'm standing like a lunatic
I bet you feel, I bet you taste good

You come to take me away
Like a little white rabbit from yesterday
Little things said, said and done
I should have shot myself on the run

I wanna love, love, love
I wanna love, love, love right now
I wanna love, love, love

I wanna love, love, love right now
So come on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kasabian's song Me Plus One seem to be about a person who regrets not following someone they were attracted to. The first verse describes the singer's attraction to the other person's smile and hair, and how they get enjoyment just from watching them walk. The second verse talks about the other person coming to "take me away" like a rabbit, which could suggest that the singer wants to escape from their current life with this person. However, they also mention that they should have shot themselves when they had the chance, which could be interpreted as regretting not being brave enough to pursue this person earlier.

The chorus repeats the phrase "I wanna love, love, love right now" several times, suggesting that the singer is consumed with a desire for love and perhaps even lust. The final verse introduces the idea of the other person returning to the singer's life after some time apart, and the singer now feeling a bit crazy (like a "lunatic") in their presence. The lyrics end with a final plea for love.

Overall, the lyrics appear to be about missed opportunities and a desire for love and connection with someone else. The use of imagery like the "little white rabbit" and the singer's regret about not "shooting themselves" gives the song a slightly dark and melancholy feel, suggesting that the singer's desire for connection is tinged with frustration and perhaps even a sense of self-loathing.

Line by Line Meaning

Too messed up I should have followed you
I regret not choosing to be with you despite my chaotic state of mind

Where did you get that smile and that fine hair
Your charming looks have caught my attention and made me curious about you

I get my kicks from your walk in
Your walk is so captivating that it gives me a thrill whenever I see you

I should have gone I should have been there
I regret missing the opportunity to be with you

You come to take me away
I'm excited and eager to follow you

Like a little white rabbit from yesterday
I feel like a child being led by you, eagerly chasing after you

Little things said, said and done
Small actions and words have led me to be drawn to you even more

I should have shot myself on the run
I wish I had taken a chance on you sooner instead of waiting for the perfect moment

I wanna love, love, love
I crave to feel and experience love

I wanna love, love, love right now
I want to love someone deeply and passionately right now

She's come back from the winter
The person I desire has returned to me after a difficult time

Looking straight into my eyes
We have a deep connection and understanding between us

Now I'm standing like a lunatic
I become irrational and act crazy when I'm in your presence

I bet you feel, I bet you taste good
I am strongly attracted to you and I am certain that I will enjoy being with you both physically and emotionally

So come on
I am urging you to take me away and love me

I'm so so happy I've had the chance to meet all of them...I've been kissed on the mouth by both Tom AND Serge. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT. This is one of my all-time fave Kasabian songs too.

@yazuki181

Jodi Jackman oooh jealous <3

@jodilyn

They ARE!! It was nothing 'creepy' about it. They were just really friendly, and they were nice, full 'pecks' on the lips. Big hugs, chat, always obliging and generous and kind with autographs and photos. Definitely in my TOP 3 favorite bands. Cannot wait to see them again 💜💜💜💜💜

@jodilyn

You HAVE to !!!! Best gig you'll ever see💜👍👍👍👍

@jodilyn

I've met up with the boys at least 7-8 times, in both Vancouver, (British Columbia, Canada)---that's where I live 💜.... As well as in Seattle, Washington, US, which is only a 3hr drive from me. So when Kasabian tours, I usually catch both shows in each city.
The very first time I ever met them, was in my hometown (Vancouver). I had never even heard of them. They were opening up for another UK band called The Music.
Before the show, my friends & I were given these massive, cool Kasabian promo posters. It must've been the band's first time in Canada!! We hung onto them, LOVED the gig (they smoked The Music!!OMFG😉), and decided to hang out behind the venue, by the tour bus, with our posters. We waited over an hour to meet them, BUT OHHH MY GAWD. was it ever worth it. BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I'll never ever forget it. I can tell you what happened (nothing creepy..Just AWESOME).. But it'll have to be another message. Are you on Messenger?

@jodilyn

Sorry for typos....I just woke up!!😉😛
