Follow Me
Place Vendome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long long time
I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there when I can talk to you
When there's no one else around
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me
You see, I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
Places that I'm going to
And places where I've been
To have you there beside me, we'll never be alone
And all the time that you're with me
Then we will be at home
Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me
The lyrics to Place Vendome's song "Follow Me" express the deep desire of the singer to be loved and understood by the person they're singing to. The first verse portrays the difficulty of loving someone so much yet feeling so alone in their presence. It's a common feeling when someone you love doesn't reciprocate your feelings or doesn't understand how you feel about them. The second verse emphasizes the longevity of these feelings, stating that it's been on the singer's mind for a long time but they haven't found a way to make the other person understand the magnitude of their feelings. The chorus urges the person to follow them, to make their life a part of them and to be with them through thick and thin.
The bridge is particularly poignant, with the singer declaring that they want to share their life with the other person, to show them the places they've been and the things they've seen. They want the person to always be by their side so that they're never alone. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the urgency and depth of their desire for the other person to follow them.
In short, "Follow Me" is a heartbreaking plea for love and understanding. It captures the pain of unrequited love and the longing for someone to be there with you always, sharing in your joys and sorrows.
