I Consume You
Rediscover Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am in-
Side your head
Now I'm inside your mouth
I will use you
I am in-
Side your head
You try to get me out
But I consume you

Have a drink
It will help
If it's too loud to think
I know you want to
Look at me
It will help if you can move your feet
But I'll consume you
I'll consume you
I'll consume you
I'll consume you

I locked all the doors so
Now you're breaking in
Well you think I'm taking it
I'm not taking it
You're just faking it

I am in-
Side your head
Now I'm inside your mouth
I will use you
I am in-
Side your head
You try to spit me out
But I consume you
Yeah, I consume you
Yeah, I consume you
I consume you

I locked all the doors so
Now you're breaking in
Well you think I'm taking it
I'm not taking it
You're just faking it
-x2-

You can't come in
You gotta go home
You can't come in
Now leave me alone
-x2-

I locked all the doors so
Now you're breaking in
Well you think I'm taking it
I'm not taking it
You're just faking it

I locked all the doors so
Now you're breaking in

I'm not taking it
I'm just faking it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rediscover's song "I Consume You" appear to be about a toxic relationship or perhaps addiction. The opening lines "I am inside your head, now I'm inside your mouth" suggest that the person singing is physically and mentally consuming the other person. The repeated line "I will use you" also indicates that the relationship is not healthy and may be manipulative or one-sided. The line "You try to get me out, but I consume you" reinforces the idea that the other person is struggling to break free from this negative relationship.

The second verse suggests that alcohol may be involved in this destructive relationship, with the line "Have a drink, it will help if it's too loud to think." The lyrics also reference the idea of movement as a way to distract oneself from their problems with the line "It will help if you can move your feet." However, regardless of how the other person tries to cope or escape, the singer is still consuming them and they can't seem to get away.

The bridge of the song, where the singer repeats "You can't come in, you gotta go home", could be interpreted as the singer setting boundaries and trying to push the other person away. However, this is immediately followed by "You can't come in, now leave me alone", which suggests that the singer is not successful in their attempt to push the other person away.

Overall, "I Consume You" appears to be a haunting portrayal of a relationship that is unhealthy and one-sided, with one person consuming the other both physically and mentally.
