You & I
Nexeri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a look in your eyes
Is it finally clearer
'Cause I'm terrified
Born right into yesterday
Born right from the heart
Paranoia is killing me
But I know who you are
Lately I've been looking my separate ways
Shaking it off like you're holding onto me
Caught in a dead end formality
It's a fantasy you see
All this time it's been hurting me
For you and I, for you and I
I love so much but it's hard to breathe
For you and I, for you and I
Toxic but homesick normality
I'm faking my way to the light I can't see
Riding the wave but I'm sinking in
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
I'm under the water
Drowning in a phase
In the blue of an ocean
I find all sorts of grey
I'm low when I'm high you see
I'm swimming in debt
Lose time, lose my mind and faith
My Demons get wet
Lately I've been looking my separate ways
Shaking it off like you're holding onto me
Caught in a dead end formality
It's a fantasy you see
All this time it's been hurting me
For you and I, for you and I
I love so much but it's hard to breathe
For you and I, for you and I
Toxic but homesick normality
I'm faking my way to the light I can't see
Riding the wave but I'm sinking in
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I, for you and I
For you and I, for you and I
For you and I, for you and I
For you and I (All for you and I)
The lyrics of Nexeri's song You & I speak about the complex emotional and mental struggles that come with being in a toxic relationship. The first verse describes the singer's state of mind; as he looks at himself in the mirror and into his eyes, he realizes that he is scared because of his paranoia. However, he also acknowledges that he knows his partner and that they have been together for a long time. The chorus highlights the pain and difficulty he has been experiencing, stating that even though he loves his partner intensely, it is hard for him to breathe. The line "toxic but homesick normality" refers to the fact that even though the relationship is unhealthy, it feels comfortable and familiar as they have been together for a long time.
The second verse further elaborates on the singer's state of mind, as he uses vivid imagery to describe his emotions. He feels like he is drowning under the weight of the relationship and that he is unable to escape. The line "swimming in debt" refers to how he feels trapped in the relationship and unable to get out despite the emotional toll it is taking on him. The chorus repeats, emphasizing how the singer is hurting and struggling to cope with the relationship.
The bridge highlights the conflicting emotions the singer feels as he tries to let go of the relationship. He is caught between wanting to move on from the toxicity and also feeling the pull of his emotions towards his partner. The line "losing time, lose my mind and faith" showcases how he feels like he is losing himself in the relationship and can't find a way out. The song ends with the singer repeating the line "for you and I" as he tries to come to terms with the complex emotions that come with being in a toxic relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Take a look in the mirror
Reflect on yourself
Take a look in your eyes
Examine your own emotions
Is it finally clearer
Do you now understand the situation
'Cause I'm terrified
Because I'm extremely afraid
Born right into yesterday
Born with the weight of the past on my shoulders
Born right from the heart
Born with love and compassion
Paranoia is killing me
My excessive worry is causing me distress
But I know who you are
But I understand your true nature
Lately I've been looking my separate ways
Lately I've been searching for my own path
Shaking it off like you're holding onto me
Trying to break free from your hold on me
Caught in a dead end formality
Stuck in a repetitive and meaningless routine
It's a fantasy you see
It's an illusion and not reality
All this time it's been hurting me
All this time it's been causing me pain
For you and I, for you and I
For the sake of our relationship
I love so much but it's hard to breathe
I love you deeply but it's suffocating me
Toxic but homesick normality
Our toxic relationship feels normal and familiar
I'm faking my way to the light I can't see
I'm pretending to know the way forward but I'm lost
Riding the wave but I'm sinking in
Trying to stay afloat but slowly drowning
For you and I
For our relationship
I'm under the water
I'm drowning
Drowning in a phase
Lost and struggling to move forward
In the blue of an ocean
In the vastness of life
I find all sorts of grey
I see only ambiguity and confusion
I'm low when I'm high you see
I feel worse when I should feel good
I'm swimming in debt
I'm in financial trouble
Lose time, lose my mind and faith
Feeling mentally and emotionally drained
My Demons get wet
My inner demons become even more powerful
For you and I, for you and I
For our relationship
For you and I, for you and I
For our relationship
For you and I
For our relationship
(All for you and I)
This is all for the sake of our relationship
