About You
Limbo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to write just another love song
Same old thing where i complain 'bout being alone
Bout how i'm missing you
When you disappear
To outer space
Or in some place
Thats far away from here
But yeah
Here i am
Doin' it again
And yeah
I can
Just play pretend

That this one
Just isn't
About you
That this one
(That this one)
Just isn't
(Just isn't)
About you
(About you)




(About you)
(About you)

Overall Meaning

The singer in Limbo's "About You" is expressing their reluctance to write another clichéd love song, one where they complain about being alone and missing the person they love when they're not around. However, the irony is not lost on the singer that they're doing it anyway. They're trying to convince themselves that this song is different, that it's not about the person they're missing, even though deep down, that's exactly what it is about.


The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and resignation, as if the singer is stuck in a loop of writing about the same person over and over. They're acknowledging the fact that they're not over this person and that they keep coming back to them in their music. At the same time, they're trying to distance themselves from the pain and the longing by pretending that this song is not about that person, that it's just a general love song that could be sung to anyone.
