You
The Duponts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's warmer than the sunny shoots that rain down
From our tiny house Monet
That makes me feel that I can't move my feet
It's a golden retriever mixed with a beagle
God let's save its life
From the daily routine but I won't
Get to look into your eyes again
Of when I heard the deed drew
Locked in chains of copper
Making gold look new
And one day, I'll look out of the window
And I'll break through
I'll make steps towards your house
And I'll ask you if you really want to dance
I've been trying to woo you
I've made sentimental letters in the shapes of hearts
I've got nothing left to lose
The shape of your hands is like a work of art
Colors get erased
By the notes that I can't speak to
Building melodies
In ways I've never seen
Held up in grassy lines
Curates tastes that I can't seem to
Underestimate these ears
Have ever heard
I've been trying to woo you
I've made sentimental letters in the shapes of hearts
I've got nothing left to lose
The shape of your hands is like a work of art
I've been trying to woo you
I've made sentimental letters in the shapes of hearts
I've got nothing left to lose
The shape of your hands is like a work of art

The expression "I've been trying to woo you" and the mention of sentimental letters in the shapes of hearts highlight the singer's efforts to win this person's affection, suggesting that they have poured their heart into capturing their attention and love.
The repeated mention of the shape of the person's hands being like a work of art emphasizes their unique and captivating beauty. The lyrics also hint at the power of music and its ability to evoke certain emotions and transform experiences, as the reference to "melodies" and "grass lines" suggests the singer finding inspiration and solace through music.
Overall, "You" portrays an intense infatuation with someone, conveying the singer's longing, efforts to win their love, and admiration for their physical and emotional qualities.

When I see your face
The sight of your face brings warmth and joy to my heart
It's warmer than the sunny shoots that rain down

From our tiny house Monet
Just like a painting by Monet, our humble home creates beautiful moments

From the daily routine but I won't
Despite longing for a break from mundane life, I won't get to experience it
Get to look into your eyes again
I won't have the privilege of gazing into your eyes once more
Moving to a trace
Being guided by a memory
Of when I heard the deed drew
A moment when I felt an overwhelming sense of inspiration and motivation
Locked in chains of copper
Feeling trapped by circumstances and obligations
Making gold look new
Discovering the value and beauty within everyday life
And one day, I'll look out of the window
I envision a day when I can gaze out of the window
And I'll break through
Finally overcoming obstacles and barriers
I'll make steps towards your house
I'll take brave actions towards reaching you
And I'll ask you if you really want to dance
I'll muster the courage to inquire if you desire a deeper connection

I've reached a point where I have no fear of rejection or loss
The shape of your hands is like a work of art
The beauty and delicacy of your hands is akin to a masterpiece
Colors get erased
Hues and vibrancy fade away
By the notes that I can't speak to
Emotions that I can't express in words
Building melodies
Creating harmonious moments and experiences
In ways I've never seen
In ways that are entirely new and captivating
Held up in grassy lines
Immersed in the beauty of nature and simplicity
Curates tastes that I can't seem to
You possess refined and unique preferences that bewilder me
Underestimate these ears
Underestimate the depth of my listening and understanding
Have ever heard
I've never encountered such profound and enchanting sounds before

Possibly the most under-appreciated vocalist of that generation. A golden throat.

Without Eddie Dockery! There would be NO little Anthony! Eddie put the group together in Brooklyn, New York and got the record deal and got zero credit for it after Anthony snuck out the back door with a slime fly by night producer and made his own new group. Facts!!!

Anthony is from my projects(Fort Greene/ R V Ingersoll Houses). I have seen him walking around the projects all the time. His girlfriend, who became his wife, lived in a building connected to my building. He use to come and court her. He sometimes called to her window, for her to come down. We use to watch, a small crowd would form. Someone would get the nerve to go over to him and ask for an autograph. Then everyone would go over and ask for one. He was polite. He would sign his name on pieces of paper. Earnest Wright, one of the members of the group, his sisters, were in my dance class, and went to my junior high school (Sands Sands Junior high, 275)
