You Belong To Me

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anointed by the stars
Yeah, watching the clouds
Teasing the sky
Well, it comes to my mind
Can I make it stop
With the cry of a howl
Can I bring the storm to a stop
As I speak of you
Birds racing the sky
Missing the point
Hope hungry and cold
Thin to the bones
Can't prevail to the truth
I still belong to you
And all those times I swore to the sky
Never to fall for you
I was raving in fire
Bearing the cold for you
Keeping the monsters asleep
Thought I could survive
Now I hear voices bawling the truth
I still belong to you
The wind all suddenly
Comes down to a breeze
Shamans gather around
Lending an ear
I said I'm lying down on the grass
Anointed by the stars
I said I'm lying down watching the stars
Come down from the sky
I said I'll come, come back to my mind
Just give me some time
I'm feeling better now, I'll come back to my mind
Just give me some time
And all those times I swore to the sky
Never to fall for you
I was raving in fire
Bearing the cold for you
Keeping the monsters asleep
Thought I could survive
Now I hear voices bawling the truth
I still belong to you
In Like The's song "You Belong To Me", the singer is lying down on the grass, watching the stars and clouds in the sky. While doing so, the singer ponders if they have the power to make the storm stop with their cry. As the singer speaks of the person they belong to, their ears turn to stone and birds fly aimlessly, missing the point. Despite being hope hungry and thin to the bones, the singer still belongs to the person they speak of, even though they swore never to fall for them. The singer believes they can survive by keeping the monsters asleep, but now they hear voices bawling the truth, and they still belong to that person.
The song's ambiguous lyrics can be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to revolve around the singer's struggle to let go of someone they belong to. The singer seems to have gone through a lot of hardship and pain for this person, but they can't seem to stop belonging to them.

Lying down on the grass
Reclining on the earth's greenery
Anointed by the stars
Made to feel blessed by the heavenly bodies
Yeah, watching the clouds
Indeed, observing the atmospheric masses
Teasing the sky
Playing with the ceiling above us
Well, it comes to my mind
An idea occurs to me
Can I make it stop
Can I halt what's happening
With the cry of a howl
Using the sound of a wolf's cry
Can I bring the storm to a stop
Can I cease the tempest that's raging
Ears turn into stone
My ears become numb
As I speak of you
When I talk about you
Birds racing the sky
Flocks of birds flying at high speeds
Missing the point
Not understanding what's important
Hope hungry and cold
Desiring and needing hope
Thin to the bones
Extremely emaciated
Can't prevail to the truth
Unable to overcome reality
I still belong to you
I am still yours
And all those times I swore to the sky
Each time I made a promise to the heavens
Never to fall for you
To never lose my heart to you
I was raving in fire
Overwhelmed by emotion
Bearing the cold for you
Enduring discomfort for your sake
Keeping the monsters asleep
Preventing my fears from controlling me
Thought I could survive
Believed I could endure
Now I hear voices bawling the truth
Now I hear people shouting the reality
I still belong to you
I am still yours
The wind all suddenly
The wind completely swifts
Comes down to a breeze
Becomes a gentle gust of wind
Shamans gather around
Spiritual healers congregate
Lending an ear
Listening attentively
Just give me some time
Just wait a while
I'm feeling better now, I'll come back to my mind
I'm improving now, my thoughts will return

You're on the phone with your girlfriend she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cuz she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like i do
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see you
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
I remember you drivin' to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And i know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby you belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
