Breathe
Concede
See
Feel
Wanted to feel so
Needed to let you know
Peace i seek no peace I'll find
Falling in and out of time
You erase me
You erase me
You erase me
I erase you
Seal
Kneel
Trust
Lust
Through the cracks and the dust
Through the insatiable lust
Peace I seek no peace I'll find
Falling in and out of time
You erase me
You erase me




You erase me
I erase you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maze's song, "You," seem to describe the tumultuous relationship between two individuals, perhaps lovers or friends. The repeating refrain of "You erase me, I erase you," highlights the cyclical nature of their interactions. The first verse describes the singer's desire for peace and acknowledgement from the other person, whom they needed to let know how they feel. However, despite this vulnerability, the other person still manages to erase them.


The second verse introduces a new set of emotions, namely trust and lust, as well as a sense of decay with "cracks and dust." The singer still seeks peace, but acknowledges that it may be unattainable and falls in and out of time. The repetition of "You erase me, I erase you" takes on a different meaning in this verse, with the suggestion that perhaps they each erase a part of the other in their insatiable desires.


Overall, the lyrics of "You" suggest a complex and possibly toxic relationship between two individuals, with a sense of longing for peace and understanding undercut by a tendency to erase each other.
