Yours
The All-About Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can find no rest,
Waking for his nightmare.
Safe in bed,
But in his head
He knows her soul resides there
"I'll be the breeze
And chills the room
As summer burns without...
Calling your name."
Love lamented,
His soul tormented,
Sleeping in the embers.
As good as dead,
He's lost his head -
But how ? no-one remembers !
"I'll be the hand
That guides your hand to write
I'll turn you pale
With ink and second-sight...
Calling your name."
"I'll be your skin,
I'll turn you black and blue...
I'll be your breath...
The life and death of you...
Calling your name."
The lyrics to The All-About's song "Yours" tell the story of a man who cannot rid himself of his obsession with a former lover. Despite his efforts to move on, he is haunted by the memory of her and is unable to find peace. In the first verse, the man is shown as restless and plagued by nightmares, unable to shake the feeling that his ex-girlfriend's soul still resides within him. The image of a man possessed suggests that he is no longer in control of his own mind and body, consumed instead by thoughts of his lost love.
In the second verse, the man's anguish is intensified as he speaks of his soul being tormented, sleep evading him, and feeling as though he is "as good as dead." The fact that he has lost his head suggests a deep sense of confusion and desperation, and the fact that no one remembers how this came to be implies that he is suffering alone. The repeated refrain, "Calling your name," underscores his obsession with his former lover, highlighting his desire to be close to her and the frustration he feels at not being able to do so.
The final verse is perhaps the most disturbing, as the man speaks of the various ways in which he will continue to haunt his ex-girlfriend. He promises to be the hand that guides her hand to write, to turn her pale with ink and second-sight, and to be her skin, turning her black and blue. The phrase "calling your name" takes on a sinister tone here, suggesting that the man's desire to be close to her has become all-consuming and dangerous.
Overall, the lyrics to "Yours" paint a picture of a man consumed by his obsession with a former lover, unable to move on and haunted by memories of their past. The repetition of the phrase "calling your name" throughout the song underscores the man's desperation to connect with his former girlfriend, adding to the overall sense of tension and unease.
