With You In My Head
UNKLE feat. Liela Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A holdin' on a keepin,
No giving into taking more but still still feedin',
You keepin on a holdin',
A-holdin' on a-keepin,
No giving into taking more but still still feedin',
You're clearly disturbed,
All you want is allegiance Hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them with believin'
Oh holy holy water washing over the soul
Collecting all the people you love to sing you a song
Even if they stick to humming
Holding on a song to see them
When you're really sick-a sick-a sick of love
Leaving with their heart
To shape them within
Even if they stay to running
Hold 'em on the soul, believing
Till you wanna stick-a stick-a stick to love
When you went down, the men came callin'
Changing to stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Speaking in tongues we've all been summoned.
Ride, you wait to hug the shoal, you hate the thought, you're so-so.
You seem so dark to cry.
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for youEverything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head
When you went down, the men came callin'
Faded in stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Singing in tongues, it makes things summoned.
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
The lyrics to UNKLE feat. The Black Angels's song "With You In My Head" seem to be describing a person who is struggling to hold on to something important to them, possibly a sense of self or a relationship. They are resistant to giving in or taking more than they need, but they still feel the need to feed something within themselves. Despite feeling disturbed, they seek allegiance from those around them and are willing to hear what they want to hear, believing in something greater than themselves. The lyrics also touch on the idea of music and love as sources of comfort and meaning, with the singer collecting people they love to sing them a song even if they only hum along. The final lines suggest a dedication to another person, with the singer saying that everything they do is about their love for them.
Overall, the lyrics are fairly abstract and open to interpretation, but they seem to touch on themes of resistance, faith, and love. The imagery is often vivid and emotional, with references to crying, falling, and being changed into stone. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "keeping on a holding" and "hearing them what you saw," adds to the dreamlike quality of the song and creates a sense of circularity.

When you went down, the men came callin'
Changing to stone as you wept from fallin
When you went down, the men came callin'
Speaking in tongues we've all been summoned.
When you fell, people came to help, but you became rigid like stone while crying. When you fell again, people came again, and their words may seem unfamiliar, but we've all been summoned.
Ride, you wait to hug the shoal, you hate the thought, you're so-so.
You seem so dark to cry.
You wait to embrace the shallow water, but you hate the idea and feel somewhat indifferent. You seem despondent when you cry.
Oh, we're ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
We're prepared for you, and I have all the abilities to handle this. You received all our love, and everything you taught me never really mattered; it's all about my love for you.
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head
You are constantly on my mind, and I can't stop thinking about you.
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills
You've given all our love for you
Everything you taught me honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
I hope that I can handle this, and I have all the necessary abilities. You received all our love, and everything you taught me never really mattered; it's all about my love for you.

W zyciu nie miałam takiego smietnika w głowie. . Aż nie chce mi się odpowiadać. To tylko ciekawość i bezsilność. Nic. Tylko rkonsrtukcja pamięci by nie...wynoscie się. Wolę pewny gniew niż zyczliwosc słabości.
