Me Yeah You
London Elektricity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?

Don't you see them? Or is it me on my own
Is it my imagination or my paranoid zone?
Is it the world we live in or the land that we roam?
Yeah they're watching, I think they've gone and tapped my phone
Like damn! What am I gonna do - these locks I can't break it
My freedom they will take it - if I run, will I make it?
To somewhere that's far away
Will they find the beach I bathe and the place that I stay?
Gonna find out who got locked, gonna find out who got popped
Gonna find out who and when, gonna find out who got what
Gonna find and get these names, gonna put me in the frame
I need to pack my shit quick if I'm gonna make this plane
- And dust…like that I'm gone
Ain't gon' stick around for this shit - cos that is long
Am I guilty? No, no way
Where I'm gone? Far, far away

Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?

I ain't gonna tell you that life's alright
Just because I'm on a beach and it's a full moon tonight
I ain't gonna tell you that life's all good
If the truth be told – it's not how it should
In fact it's bad – I feel the opposite of sad
I feel insane in the brain forward slash fucking mad
Am I losing the plot? Am I cream of the crop? Am I bottom of the top?
Is this weed? Or is this rock?
I don't know – I just feel real strange
Feel like you're watching me, ain't a damn thing changed…
For five years, I've felt like Dr. Richard Kimble
Now let me break it down, now let me make this simple, I'm like…
Day after day, month after year
Will this paranoid feeling disappear?
Why are they watching, increasing my fear?
I need to stop these voices whispering in my ear
Day after month after year
Will this paranoid feeling disappear?
Why are they watching increasing my fear?
I need to stop these voices whispering in my ear

They watching you - They watching me
They watching us - They watching we
Watch the way we live, watch the way we be
Yeah they're watching - It's all eyes on me
Now can't you see them? They are snakes in the grass
Us or them? Now who's gonna last?
All of we are one and we need to see through the masks
I'm paranoid these droids are gonna try and take charge…
Of my mission, ain't letting that happen, I put my foot to the floor
Ain't gonna take it no more, you need to watch you step or
I'm gonna re-assess, yeah the sky turns red
I feel your eyes burning in the back of my head
Ain't gonna let you take that, ain't gonna let you take this
Ain't gonna let you take what you want
Or let you take the piss - no way!

Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?




Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we, can't you see them?
Watching you, watching me, watching them, watch your step, can't you say?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Me Yeah You" by London Elektricity convey a sense of paranoia and surveillance, with the singer feeling constantly watched and observed. The repetition of "Watching you, watching me, watching them, watching we" emphasizes the pervasive nature of this surveillance, suggesting that everyone is under constant scrutiny. The lyrics also question whether the singer's perception of being watched is a product of their own imagination or a reflection of the world they live in.


The theme of surveillance is further explored with references to tapping the singer's phone and the possibility of being tracked and monitored. The lyrics express a desire to escape this surveillance and find freedom elsewhere, perhaps by running away or leaving the country. The singer feels a sense of urgency to leave, fearing that if they stay, they will be framed for something they did not do.


The second verse continues to explore the singer's feelings of paranoia and madness. They question their own sanity and wonder if they are losing touch with reality. The lyrics also express frustration with the way things are, highlighting that life is not as good as it should be. The singer feels like they are being constantly observed, and this sense of being watched has persisted for years. The constant surveillance has affected their mental well-being, as they struggle to break free from the fear and voices whispering in their ear.


In the final verse, the lyrics shift to a more collective perspective, emphasizing the idea that everyone is being watched. The singer refers to these watchers as "snakes in the grass," and questions who will ultimately prevail in this surveillance society. There is a call for unity and to see through the masks of those in power. The singer asserts their resistance and refusal to let these watchers take control. The lyrics conclude with a defiant determination to protect what is theirs and not allow others to take advantage or disrespect them.
