You come along
Seelenluft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your perfume is strong,
It smells so wrong,
I bite my tongue
Your openness is fake,
'Cause you're not awake,
You shake your ass,
I can't leave but I don't like to stay,
'Cause there is you standing right in my way,
Gimme your hand, I know a place to go,
Somewhere you've never been before,
You try to find,
A way out f'your mind,
But your search is blind,
That makes your teeth grind
This is a song,
'Bout being free,
You can't go wrong,
Just follow me
I can't leave but I don't like to stay,
'Cause there is you standing right in my way,
Gimme your hand, I know a place to go,
Somewhere you've never been before
The song "You Come Along" by Seelenluft is a commentary on a toxic relationship between two people. The song begins with the male narrator admitting that he is attracted to the woman, but he is repulsed by her perfume. He is biting his tongue, which could signify his reluctance to express his true emotions to her. He acknowledges that the woman's openness is fake, and she is not truly awake, which could hint at her being naive and impressionable. She may be trying too hard to impress him, and he knows that her attempts are not genuine.
The chorus follows the singer's struggles with the relationship as he admits that he can't leave but also can't stay. He is conflicted about his feelings towards the woman. He is drawn to her, but at the same time, she is blocking his path. However, he proposes that they can still find a way to be together, and he offers to show her a place she's never been before. This could be interpreted as him wanting to escape their current situation and move on to something new and meaningful.
The second verse describes the woman's struggles with her thoughts. She is trying to find a way out of her mind, but her search is blind, and it's causing her distress. The singer suggests that the song is about being free and that by following him, they won't go wrong. The repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's inner conflict and his desire to be with the woman.
Overall, "You Come Along" speaks to the ups and downs of a complicated relationship. The singer recognizes the flaws in the woman but is still drawn to her. He wants to escape their current situation and start anew. The repeated chorus emphasizes his internal conflict about whether or not to stay in the relationship.
