Are You With Me
Mr. Blake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S TO BE HERE
YOU?RE FOLLOWED BY THE RULE
AND YOUR FAME
I WON?T BETRAY YOU LIKE YOU DID ME
CAUSE YOU?VE BEEN OUT FOR ONE DAY

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?

IT'S NOT A GAME
NOT A GAME

YOU NEED TO SERVE IT FROM YOUR GRANITE
THIS POISON THAT YOU'VE MADE UP FOR DAYS
AND ALL THIS SHIT IS GETTING ME CRAZY
AND YOU?RE STILL OUT FOR MORE DAYS

KEEP ME ON GROUND
KEEP ME ON GROUND

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?

IT'S NOT A GAME
IT'S NOT A GAME
IT'S NOT A GAME
IT'S NOT A GAME

KEEPING MAYBE IN YOUR BRAIN
JEWELS SO INSANE
THEY WILL BLIND YOU
IT'S NOT A GAME?

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING LOUD?

IT'S NOT A GAME
IT'S NOT A GAME

IT'S NOT A GAME
IT'S NOT A GAME

Overall Meaning

In Mr. Blake's song "Are You with Me," the singer is addressing someone who has betrayed them in the past, but now wants their loyalty. The singer is hesitant to trust this person again because they have a history of not reciprocating loyalty. The chorus asks why this person is talking about them so loudly and it's not a game, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. The singer wants to be grounded and avoid the drama that this person brings.

The second verse references this person's material possessions, such as jewels, that are so insane they will blind you. This could be seen as a commentary on the superficiality of society and the obsession with wealth and status.

Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulty of trusting someone who has betrayed you in the past and wanting to avoid drama and materialism. The repetition of "it's not a game" emphasizes the seriousness of these themes and the need for honesty and loyalty in relationships.
