The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me, you
Thank god everybody's gone
But me and you
Me, you
God's in love
God's in love with me and you
You and me
In my pocket
In my mind
For me, you
For me and you
Praise the lord
I'm all alone
With me, you
Me and you
Me, you
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with me and you
Me, you
Thank god there's nothing wrong
With me, you
With me and you
This is my song
It's for me
It's for me
It's for me
It's for you
Pots and pans and rubber fuckin bands
For me and you
Me, you
The devil took my mind
For me and you
Me, you
The lyrics to The Generatorsâ song âYou Against Youâ is all about finding comfort in someone else when everyone elseâs gone. The opening lines of âEverybodyâs gone, everybodyâs gone, thank god everybodyâs gone, but me and youâ suggests that the singer is with someone they care about and that everyone else has left, which could mean that they are dealign with a harsh reality or that everyone else they know has abandoned them. However, they find solace and contentment in the company of the person theyâre with. The lines âGodâs in love, Godâs in love with me and you, you and meâ implies that the two people are complete in their own world and that nobody else matters, even God himself.
The song also touches on the theme of individuality and self-reliance. Lines such as âPraise the lord, Iâm all alone, with me, you, me and youâ suggests that the singer is fine with being on their own with the person they care about. The narrative of the song is about two people finding their own world in the midst of chaos and finding comfort in each other. The lyrics are simple, but they convey complex emotions and themes that many people can relate to.
