Yes
Ten After Two Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all a lie
Its nothing more than a disguise
It's all a lie
I simply lost my way
Every last lie all the details
It's all a lie
It's nothing more than a disguise
Had their fifteen of fame
My dreams are more than fame
And this red carpet
I'm worth a million dollars
Theres no persuading me now,
You choose to fail
You chose to fail
You're just a worthless entity
You lied to me

I'm worth more than you weight in gold
I am the taste of what you want
Because I'm all you've got
Are we alive cause I'm losing my fucking mind
Are you alive are we breathing
Am I alive
Are we breathing
Won't you part the sea with me
I could use this space to breathe
Come part the sea with me

Had their fifteen of fame
My dreams are more than fame
And this red carpet
I'm worth a million dollars
Theres no persuading me now,
You choose to fail
You chose to fail
You're just a worthless entity




You lied to me
A worthless entity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ten After Two's song "Yes" seem to be about the struggles of fame and how it can lead to a loss of identity. The line "It's all a lie" repeats throughout the song, suggesting that the public persona is a façade and that the true self is hidden beneath it. The singer has "simply lost [their] way," suggesting that they have lost sight of who they truly are in the midst of the fame and glamour. The line "You chose to fail" could be directed at someone who didn't understand the struggles of fame and expected the singer to maintain the façade indefinitely.


The repeated references to red carpets and being worth a million dollars seem to emphasize the shallowness of fame and how it can lead people to believe that it is the ultimate goal in life. However, the singer's dreams are "more than fame" and they want to be valued for who they truly are, not just for their public image. The lines "I'm worth more than your weight in gold" and "I am the taste of what you want" suggest that the singer has something more valuable than money or fame - their true self.


The chorus "Are we alive cause I'm losing my fucking mind / Are you alive are we breathing / Am I alive / Are we breathing" could be a reflection of the disorientation and confusion that can come with fame. The line "Won't you part the sea with me / I could use this space to breathe / Come part the sea with me" suggests that the singer is looking for someone to help them find their way back to their true self.
