This Is What You Are
Mario Biondi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me up and let me down
Hold me when I'm sad
Take my eyes to look around
Take my ears to listen to the stars
This is what you are

Knock me down
Knock me out
Make me feel shy
But when you hold me in your arms
I can just forget the tears I've cried
This is what you are

This is what you are

Write your number on my wall
It's all you gotta do
Carve your shadow on my soul
even when you break my heart in two
This is what you are

La, la
This is what you are

Take me up and let me down
Hold me when I'm sad
Take my eyes to look around
Take my ears to listen to the stars
This is what you are

Knock me down
Knock me out
Make me feel shy
But when you hold me in your arms
I can just forget the tears I've cried
This is what you are

Say la, la
This is what you are





La, la
This is what you are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mario Biondi's song "This is What You Are" describe a relationship in which the person being addressed is the constant source of their partner's happiness, comfort, and security. The first verse talks about the singer's partner being able to bring them up when they're feeling down by holding them and helping them see the beauty around them. This theme continues in the chorus, where the singer declares that their partner is what makes them feel safe and whole, even when they're knocked down or feeling sad. The second verse goes deeper into this idea, describing how the partner can make the singer feel shy or vulnerable, but when they hold them, everything else falls away, even the tears they've cried.


The bridge of the song takes a slightly different turn, addressing the more difficult aspects of the relationship. The singer asks their partner to "write their number on their wall," or in other words, to make a commitment to their relationship that is visible and lasting. They also ask their partner to "carve their shadow on their soul," even if they hurt the singer by breaking their heart. It's clear that the singer believes their partner is worth the risk, because they are the source of so much joy and comfort in their life.
