Without You
Rama Writes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't win, I can't wait
I will never win this game without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same without you, without you

I won't love, I won't love
I will never make it past without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't lie
All I need is you and I, without you

Without...

You! You! You! You!
You! You! You! You!

Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we were strange without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleep this night without you, without you
I won't sob, I won't cry
If you're not here, I'm living life without you, without you

I can't look, I'm so blind
Lost my heart, I lost my mind without you

Without...





You! You! You! You!
You! You! You! You!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Without You" by Rama Writes express the singer's utter dependence on the person they are addressing in the song. Right at the beginning of the song, the lyrics reveal a sense of hopelessness and defeat: "I can't win, I can't wait, I will never win this game without you." The singer is saying that without their loved one, they cannot succeed or be happy.


The lyrics go on to describe the various ways in which the singer feels incomplete without the other person. They are lost, they are vain, and they won't be able to move on or find love without them. The repetition of the phrase "without you" throughout the song emphasizes just how integral this person is to the singer's well-being.


The chorus drives the point home even further with its repeated exclamation of "You! You! You! You!" The singer needs this person so much that they cannot imagine living without them. The final lines of the song ("Without you") echo this sentiment once more, leaving no doubt about the central theme of the song.


Overall, "Without You" is a poignant expression of the depth of love and need that can exist between two people.
