about you...
Neon Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream,
You were a red lush maple leaf
Losing its identity
And piece by piece,
Fallin′ from the tallest tree
Textbook tragedy

And I'm watchin′ you dry out
And I'm stumblin'
And I′m tryin′ to reach out
And you're crumblin′

Baby when the rain falls down
I'll be thinkin′ 'bout you
I′ll be thinkin' 'bout you

Baby if you drown me out
I′ll be thinkin′ 'bout you
I′ll be thinkin' ′bout you

I was the selfish tree
The one you looked up to
The one you look up to

Heading for me
Was the chaos I consumed you
The chaos I consumed you

And I'm watching you dry out
And I′m stumblin'
And I'm tryin′ to reach out
And you′re crumblin'

Baby when the rain falls down
I′ll be thinkin' ′bout you
I'll be thinkin′ 'bout you

Baby if you drown me out
I'll be thinkin′ ′bout you
I'll be thinkin′ 'bout you

I wish there was, a little flood
A little flood just to carry you

Because Baby when
The rain falls down
I′ll be thinkin' ′bout you
I'll be thinkin' ′bout you

Baby when the rain falls down
I′ll be thinkin' ′bout you
I'll be thinkin′ 'bout you

Baby if you drown me out
I′ll be thinkin' 'bout you
I′ll be thinkin′ 'bout you

I wish there was, a little flood
A little flood just to carry you

Because Baby when
The rain falls down




I′ll be thinkin' ′bout you
I'll be thinkin′ 'bout you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Neon Dreams's song "About You" talk about the pain and sorrow of watching a loved one fall apart and lose themselves. The writer compares their lover to a red and lush maple leaf that falls from the tallest tree, losing their identity and breaking apart piece by piece. The loss is a textbook tragedy, and the writer watches helplessly as their lover crumbles while they stumble and try to reach out.


The song goes on to describe how the writer is the selfish tree, the one their lover looked up to, who consumed them with chaos. The writer's pain is palpable as they watch their lover dry out and crumble, and they can only think about them when the rain falls down. They wish there was a little flood to carry their lover away from their pain, but all they can do is watch and think.


The lyrics of the song are incredibly emotional and speak to the pain and helplessness of watching someone you love fall apart. The use of vivid imagery, such as the red maple leaf and the idea of a little flood, adds depth and poignancy to the song.
