You Are Mine
Uncle Ho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Adaptability, the way we bend...
Covered in glittering, connecting sparks;
Caught in the cogwheel jitterbug.
Why don't you show them what you are made of right now?
Get up and show them what you are made of right now...
Nothing is there to hold you back, a black wall.
YOU'D BE ALL RIGHT, HEAD-ON.
YOU COULD BE ALL RIGHT, YOU COULD BE AT ONE.
Guiding light from a long way off ...
Glowing tissue in an ocean of moths ...
Floor of wings underneath you, too ...
How I wish to open up into you...
I WOULD BE ALL RIGHT, SHINE ON.
I COULD BE ALL RIGHT, I COULD BE AT ONE.
I COULD BE ANYTHING, I COULD BE ANYTHING ...
I COULD BE ANYTHING, OH GOD, I COULD BE ANYTHING.
I COULD BE ANYTHING, I COULD BE ANYTHING
The lyrics to Uncle Ho's song You Are Mine are open to interpretation, but they seem to touch on themes of adaptability, personal growth, and the desire to escape limitations and become one with something greater.

The chorus of the song ("Why don't you show them what you are made of right now?...Get up and show them what you are made of right now...") seems to be a call to action, encouraging the listener to embrace their strengths and abilities. The line "Nothing is there to hold you back, a black wall. But nothing is nothing, it is nothing at all..." suggests that while there may be obstacles in the way of achieving one's goals, they are not insurmountable and should not be seen as such.
The imagery in the second verse ("Guiding light from a long way off...Glowing tissue in an ocean of moths...Floor of wings underneath you, too...How I wish to open up into you...") is more abstract, but could be interpreted as the singer reaching out towards something or someone that they admire or aspire to be like. They express a desire to merge with this entity and become a part of it ("I WOULD BE ALL RIGHT, SHINE ON. I COULD BE ALL RIGHT, I COULD BE AT ONE.").
