Every You Every Me
Placebo feat. Majke Voss Romme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sucker love is heaven sent
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 do
Every 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 and every you
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

Overall Meaning

In the song "Every You Every Me" by Placebo feat. Majke Voss Romme, the lyrics seem to revolve around the concept of toxic and addictive love. The use of the term "sucker love" suggests that the singer is aware of the negative aspects of their relationship, yet can't bring themselves to leave. The first verse describes the physical and emotional toll the relationship is taking on both parties. The line "Sucker love a box I choose, No other box I choose to use" may be referring to the idea that the singer has a self-destructive tendency to repeatedly engage in destructive relationships. The chorus, "Every me and every you," suggests that the dysfunction is so intertwined that it's impossible to separate the individuals from the toxic relationship.


The second verse seems to encompass a cynical outlook on love in general, with the singer warning of the "poison" that comes with love. The line "Too much poison come undone" suggests that the love is unraveling and the consequences are becoming inevitable. The bridge is where the singer grapples with their own selfish and toxic behaviors in love. Ending the song with "Every me and every you" reinforces the idea that the co-dependence of their relationship will continue, even though it may not be healthy.

Sucker love is heaven sent
Unrealistic love feels like it's meant to be


You pucker up our passion's spent

My body's broken, yours is spent
I feel drained, while you are satisfied


Carve your name into my arm
I want to make you a permanent part of me


Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
Despite the pain, I am enchanted by this love


'Cause there's nothing else to do
I'm stuck in this situation without any other options


Every me and every you
We are equally invested in this love

Prone to cling and waste these things

Pucker up for heaven's sake
Trying harder to revive passion is futile


There's never been so much at stake
Many things are at risk in this type of relationship


I serve my head up on a plate

Like the naked leads the blind
We are blindly following toxic love


I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
I understand my actions are harmful, but I can't change them


Sucker love I always find
I repeatedly end up in toxic relationships


Someone to bruise and leave behind
I seek people to hurt and abandon


All alone in space and time
I am alone in this destructive relationship


There's nothing here but what here's mine
There is no true love in this relationship, only possession


Something borrowed, something blue
This relationship is based on a superficial and traditional model of love


Every me and every you
We are both equally stuck in this relationship


Every me and every you
We are both equally stuck in this relationship


Every me
I am utterly consumed by this love

Sucker love is Heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My hearts a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is bent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
'Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every 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
'Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you, every me, he

Sucker love whos known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for Heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cuz there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you, every me, he
Every me and every you, every me, he

Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leaves 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, he

Every me and every you, every me, he
Every me and every you, every me, he
Every me and every you, every me, he
