About You
The Bugs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am free and I will be until I die
I never cry
I laugh and kiss goodbye
All those suckers who thought they knew me..
And then there's you
The only peace I know
And then there's you
You make me so I see
The me that's now a part of you
I thought I'd never be anybody's one and only
No one could ever hold me down for the 1, 2, 3
I'm dazed, not confused
Abused and battered bruised
Losing nothing
Needing nobody to hold my hand
I am the only one who ever meant a damn to me
I am free and I will be until I die
And then there's you
The only peace I know
The glow that keeps me one with you
And then there's you
You make me so I see
The me that's now a part of you
And then there's you
(And I'm the only one)
The Bugs' song "About You" is a compelling tribute to a romantic partner who is the one thing constant in the singer's life. The first set of lyrics suggest a self-reliant personality who hasn't found comfort in relationships and sees vulnerability as a weakness. The singer asserts that they are the only one they have ever counted on, and they don't need anyone to hold their hand. It's a defensive statement, offered as tiny daggers to cut down anyone who has ever tried to use them. But that all changes with the addition of the one other person in their life โ and then there's you.
The singer's attitude takes a complete shift with those four words. Their voice softens, and there's a trace of vulnerability that wasn't there before. They trade in the prickly words for a melody that is as gentle and soothing as the love they have found. The lyrics suggest that the romantic partner has become a solace, someone who has shown the singer that it's okay to let down their guard. They accept that they are a part of their partner, and their partner is a part of them that makes them complete.

He's right. Spider's aren't poisonous... they're VENOMOUS.
Bloodmuzzle
That's like poison on steroids ๐
Maddie Small
The difference between venom and poison is poison is consumed and venom is injected, also did you know that jellyfish have little needle like barbs on their tentacles and thatโs how they sting their prey (and unfortunately us). Also that was a wolf spider which is venomous
