you
Lament Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For a long time we've been good friends,
we've talked 'bout lot stuff 'til days end
we've gotten to know how we are...
...sense of occasion
between us!

I confessed my love to you.
You showed me your interest too.
I gave you all I can...
I was the proudest man!

I kept up achieving my aim,
and loaded up more and more blaim,
but forgot to be your heart's sun
so you did what had to be done:

YOU BROKE MY HEART!
(...never cried so loud)

Now she's gone, I hold on

P.S.: I still hear you talking at night. Quietly and clear.
Like you're right beside. And it feels like it did those
first days... as we wished it would never end...
But the END is the only which is left by light,
seconds turn to hours, and I don't feel alive,




traveling on a path without your sunshine...
I MISS YOU!!

Overall Meaning

In Lament's song "You", the lyrics describe a relationship that started as a platonic friendship but eventually develops into a romantic one.

This ultimately leads to the other person breaking the singer's heart, causing him immense pain and sorrow. The song also includes a postscript where the singer reveals that he still hears the other person's voice at night, reminding him of happier times, but the reality of the relationship ending has left him feeling empty and lost.


The lyrics of "You" capture the complex emotions that come with a broken heart, from the initial shock and pain of the breakup to the lingering feelings of nostalgia and longing for what once was. Through the use of vivid imagery and emotional language, the song portrays the devastating impact that losing someone can have on a person's sense of self and emotional well-being.

Zehn Jahre später und ich finde den Song immer noch wahnsinnig gut. Klingt wie Keane in ihren besten Jahren (Hopes and Fears) und das mit einer ähnlich emotionalen Wucht mancher Steven Wilson Songs. Mir bedeutet das Lied echt viel. Schön, dass es noch hier ist.
