Every You Every Me
Placebo (Sneaker Pimps Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pucker up our passion's spent
My heart's a tart your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to doEvery me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me...
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me...
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me and every you
Every me...
Every me and every you
Every me...
"Every you Every me" is a song that talks about a variety of topics, including desire, heartbreak, and addiction. The song is about a relationship driven by physical intimacy, symbolized by the phrase "sucker love," where both partners are using each other to satisfy their needs. The lyrics play with the ideas of control and surrender, as exemplified in lines like "My heart's a tart your body's rent" and "Sucker love a box I choose / No other box I choose to use." The singer seems to be aware of the fleeting nature of this relationship, acknowledging that only his body is broken, while his partner's is spent.
However, the song also suggests that there is some comfort in this kind of relationship, as the singer asserts that there is "nothing else to do" but engage in this kind of love. The line "Carve your name into my arm / Instead of stressed I lie here charmed" implies that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to maintain a connection with his partner, even if it means inflicting pain on himself.
The song ends on a somewhat melancholy note, with the singer acknowledging his own limitations and selfishness. He recognizes that he often hurts those he loves and leaves them behind, lamenting that he is "all alone in space and time." However, he also asserts his own agency, claiming that there is "nothing here but what here's mine" and that he will continue to seek out these kinds of relationships despite their impermanence.

'Cause there's nothing else to do
Again, emphasizing that their love is a product of boredom and loneliness
Every me and every you
Still caught in the cycle, still not really sure why
Like the naked leads the blind
Their relationship is unbalanced, like someone without clothes leading someone without sight
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Recognizing their own flaws and toxic behavior
Sucker love I always find
Despite everything, they know they will keep falling for this type of relationship
Someone to bruise and leave behind
They know they will continue to hurt and be hurt by others
All alone in space and time
Their relationship is isolating and unhealthy
There's nothing here but what here's mine
They only care about themselves and what they can get out of the relationship
Something borrowed, something blue
There are no true emotions or genuine connections, just empty and superficial gestures
Every me and every you
Repeating the chorus one last time, as if to emphasize the cycle they're caught in

Too much poison come undone

Prone to cling and waste these things

There's such a feeling of simplicity to it: the minimalistic lyrics, the strings, the pared down melody, Brian's subtle harmonic changes... It makes it sound so pure and untethered, like it's floating in a timeless place.

Stop living in the past and just enjoy the music. No need to attach baggage to it.
