Point of You
Phase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the love that I'm giving
For-giving is receiving
Our own fates we are weaving
When I look at you
I sense what's there of me
Step away from the sun
Seeing is not believing
Looks are often deceiving
Lying is just denying
Drying the rivers I am crying
When I look at you
I feel what's there of me
Step away from the sun
Show me what's left to see
And I am going down, I'm going down, down, down...
Thinking, in thoughts sinking
Plant your seed, grow the linking
Spider clothe web wider
To obtain ugly reminder
When I look at you
I get what's there of me
Step away from the sun
Show me what's left to see
The lyrics of Phase's song Point of You delve into the complexities of human relationships and the perceptions we have of ourselves and others. The song seems to suggest that one's ability to give and receive love is crucial in determining their fate, and forgiveness plays an integral role in this process. The line "forgiving is receiving" implies that by being able to forgive others, we may receive forgiveness in return, allowing us to move forward with love and light.
The chorus of the song, "when I look at you, I sense what's there of me", suggests that our perception of others is often reflected in ourselves. This is reinforced when the singer asks the subject of the song to "show me what's left to see" when they step away from the sun. The sun can be interpreted as a metaphor for the things that blind us, such as societal expectations or personal biases, and by stepping away, we are able to see a more authentic version of ourselves and others.
The second verse of the song touches on the idea that appearances can be deceiving, and lying only denies the truth. The line "drying the rivers I am crying" implies that denying the truth or hiding behind a facade can be deeply painful, causing one to suppress their emotions until they dry up like a riverbed.
Overall, Point of You is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of the human experience, and encourages listeners to examine their own perceptions and preconceived notions about themselves and others.

You're really good bro, this is my quick revision for the GAMSAT exam, with a section on Organic chemistry- Phase that wasn't covered in my undergrad Course.

Does the curve between the solid phase and the liquid phase actually end? What happens beyond that and before you reach the supercritical region?
