PlaceboЀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bathing you clean
With liquid peace
I'll be your reefer
You'll breathe me in
You won't release
I've seen you cry
The whole night through
So I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
With liquid blue
[Repeat: x2]
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours
I'll be your liquor
Bathing your soul in juice that's pure
I'll be your anchor
You'll never leave these shores that cure
I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
For days and days
So I'll be your liquor
Demons will drown and float away
[Repeat: x4]
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours
Yours
The song "I'll Be Yours" by Placebo is a perfect example of a love song that aims to comfort and heal the broken spirit of the loved one. The lyrics portray a lover who is desperate to help their partner, who they have seen suffer and cry. The opening lines "I'll be your water, bathing you clean with liquid peace" suggest that the singer wants to cleanse their partner's soul and wash away the pain that they have been feeling. The use of the metaphor of water here is significant as water is believed to be a symbol of purity and renewal.
As the song progresses, the singer claims that they will be their partner's everything - father, mother, liquor, and anchor. They will provide their partner with everything that they need to heal and move on from the pain. The lines "I'll be your liquor, bathing your soul in juice that's pure" and "I'll be your anchor, you'll never leave these shores that cure" are good examples of this. The singer is not only offering emotional support but is also promising physical support to help their partner cope with the pain.
The closing lines of the song "I'll be your father, I'll be your mother, I'll be your lover, I'll be yours" serve as a reminder that the singer is there for the partner no matter what. The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love, the healing that it can provide, and the lengths that one can go to support their partner.
