You Got It
Lovers Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got soul

But it's nothing at all

You've found meaning

But it's never enough
You've lost hope

Yeah your feeling small

You might mean well

But thats never enough

Oh no...

Oh you want it

Oh you got it

Now you've got it

Don't you want it?

You got luck

And all that you need

You want more now

But it's never enough

You've got love

But your letting it go

You feel strange now

Cause it's never enough

Oh no....

Oh you want it

Oh you've got it

Now you've got it





Don't you want it?

Overall Meaning

The song "You Got It" by Lovers Electric touches on the theme of dissatisfaction in life despite having everything one could want. Starting with the lyrics "You got soul, but it's nothing at all," the song reminds us that sometimes material possessions or external achievements aren't enough to fulfill us. We may have found meaning in life, but it's never enough. The feeling of being small and losing hope is not uncommon, even for those who seem to have it all.


The chorus asks the question "Don't you want it?" and it's not entirely clear what "it" is referring to. It could be more success, love, or something else entirely. This ambiguity can speak to the fact that people often have a general sense that they want something more in life, even if they can't put their finger on what that is.


Overall, "You Got It" is a poignant reminder that even those who seem to have it all can feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied. The chorus also encourages us to examine what it is we're searching for and question whether more external achievements will truly bring us happiness.

Possibly not the greatest endorsement ever - but when one is really pissed off and driving down a relatively empty highway at night - there is no better song than this.

Epileptic seizure warning? Another catchy tune off a great debut album.
