Another You
Of Mice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something's off, see it in their faces
Say anything, say anything
Say anything that could make this all okay
Take it away, take it away
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another you
Another you, another you.
I still hear you in this house (whispering)
I still feel you in my bones (in these veins)
And like the portraits in the halls (can't help but think)
I wish you were staring back at me (but you're gone)
Say anything, say anything
Say anything that could make this all okay
Take it away, take it away
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
I will never find another you
So I'll carry you with me in my dreams, my memory
So I'll carry you with me (you'll always be with me) in my dreams, my memory
So I'll carry you with me, you'll always be my memory
Say anything, say anything
Say anything that could make this all okay
Take it away, take it away
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
And I will never find another you
The song Another You by Of Mice & Men revolves around the theme of loss and the persistent feeling of emptiness that haunts the singer. It starts with the words "Words wear off, nervous paces" which suggest that some words can lose their effect over time and that the singer is anxious and restless. He notices that something is off in the faces of those around him, indicating that they are aware of his pain. The repetition of the line "Say anything, say anything" highlights the desperation of the singer to find a solution to his problem.
The chorus "Take it away, take it away, Take away all of this emptiness I feel 'Cause I will never find another you" reveals that the emptiness he feels will never go away because he lost someone so special that he believes he will never find another person like them. The following verses express the longing he feels for the person he has lost, with the lines "I still hear you in this house", "I still feel you in my bones" and "I wish you were staring back at me".
The final verse changes the tone slightly, as the singer accepts that the person he lost will always be a part of him. He sings that he will carry the memory of the person with him in his dreams and in his heart, but he knows he will never find someone else like them.
Overall, the song Another You is a heartfelt expression of grief and longing. The lyrics speak to anyone who has ever lost someone they loved deeply and grapple with the idea of never being able to replace them.

"Another You"
White walls
Filled with nothing
But nervous paces
All around I see.
Something's off
Inside of myself.
I see it in their faces.
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that can make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away,
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another you.
Another you, another you.
I still hear you in this house (whispering).
I still feel you in my bones (in these veins).
And like the portraits in the halls (can't help but think),
I wish you were staring back at me (but you're gone).
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that can make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away.
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
I will never find another you
So I'll carry you with me in my dreams, my memory.
So I'll carry you with me (you'll always be with me) in my dreams, my memory.
So I'll carry you with me, you'll always be my memory.
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that can make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away.
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
And I will never find another you

I've listened to this song for years and always thought it was great. I lost my wife 3 weeks ago to a brain tumor... this song hits so hard now
@IAmALiteralDragon
Hey man. Truly hope you are hanging in there.
@oligifford6664
I’m so sorry for your heart, stay strong in her honor.
@basedsalvy
There will never be another you, Austin.
@fancyexplosions
You don't seem to understand people, we will miss Austin because we loved his music, we won't see it again, om&m will replace him, but it'll never be Austin, the one whose voice we loved and wanted to keep hearing, when a singer dies you mourn them cause they won't make their music again, this is the same.
@jakeplant9791
the fuck happened to Austin?
@jeffr605
Cuckford Libtardian VI Actually if you read the statement they're not replacing him, they're continuing as a 4 piece band.
@basedsalvy
Cuckford Libtardian VI They didn't say that. Aaron does cleans and has started doing heavies as well....
@basedsalvy
Cuckford Libtardian VI Yes, he did screams at their performance at Brixton.

My dad just passed today. I can’t do anything, but this song helps me express how I feel. I love you dad. You can rest now.
