Follow You
Monogem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am more than out of time.
Doubted, heavy thing I knew I wouldn't find.
Just what I was shown:
Lookin' to ya runnin' out the door.
It's under you and me.
Heading right (right) back (back)
Where I started.
Tell me,
Where does it begin?
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Show me how it
Burns again.
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Thousand miles between
Still standing face to face
Remnants of your life
Won't fill the empty space.
Just what I was shown:
Lookin' to ya runnin' out the door.
Nobody can see.
It's under you and me.
Heading right (right) back (back)
Where I started.
Tell me,
Where does it begin?
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Show me how it,
Burns again
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmm
Why, you took me
Why, you leave me
Never let me go
Want to know
Why, you took me
Why, you leave me
Never let me go
Want to know
Why, you took me
Why, you leave me
Never let me go
Want to know
Why, you took me
Why, you leave me
Never let me go
Want to know
Why, you took me
Why, you leave me
Never let me go
Want to know
Tell me,
Where does it begin?
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Show me how it,
Burns again
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
Tell me,
Where does it begin?
I'll FOLLOW YOU
I'LL FOLLOW YOU
Show me how it,
Burns again
I'll follow you (Never let me go)
I'll follow you (Want to know)
The song "Follow You" by Monogem is about following someone even when you know that it may not be the best thing for you. The lyrics discuss the idea of being lost and out of time, doubting yourself and knowing that you won't find what you're looking for. The singer talks about being shown something by the person they are following, but not being able to see it themselves. They are heading back to where they started, but don't know where it began.
Throughout the song, the singer asks questions like "Why you took me, Why you leave me." They want to know why they are being taken on this journey with the other person, and why they can't let go. Despite the distance between them, they are still face to face. The remnants of the other person's life are not enough to fill the emptiness they feel.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'll follow you" multiple times, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that it's the right thing to do. They want to know how it burns again, perhaps referring to the passion or excitement that they previously felt.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of being lost and following someone else instead of finding your own way. It's a relatable theme for many people who may have found themselves in a similar situation at one point in their lives.

Monogem "Follow you"
The world keeps turning
But I’m moving out of time
Doubting everything I knew I wouldn’t find
Just when I was sure
Look at you
You’re running out the door
Nobody can see
Someday you and me at them right back where I started
Tell you where this, it begins
I follow you I follow you
Show me how it goes again
I follow you I follow you
Thousand miles between still standing face to face
Reminisce of your life won’t fill the empty space
Just when I was sure
Look at you
You’re running out the door
Nobody can see
Someday you and me at them right back where I started
Tell you where this, it begins
I follow you I follow you
Show me how it goes again
I follow you I follow you
Mmmmhmmm
Won’t you tell me
Why you need these
Never let me go
Want to know (4x)
Tell you where this, it begins
I follow you I follow you
Show me how it goes again
I follow you I follow you (2x)
