Follow You
Yogi Feat. Ayah Marar - Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many words
Must be spoken 'til the truth is out
How many wounds
Are re-opened when you move your mouth

You make the rules
The walls, I want to break them down
‘Cause I need you close
Even when you don't know I'm around

Follow you

How many words
Must be spoken 'til the truth is out
How many wounds
Are re-opened when you move your mouth

You make the rules
The walls, I want to break them down
‘Cause I need you close
Even when you don't know I

Follow you

Always close to you

Into the dark
I wait while the questions bleed
They tear me apart
So I get them before they get me

You make the rules
The walls, I want to break them down
‘Cause I need you close
Even when you don't know I

Follow you

Always close to you
I will





Follow you

Overall Meaning

The song "Follow You" by Yogi featuring Ayah Marar is a haunting and introspective piece, with lyrics that explore the concept of loyalty and following someone even when they are not aware of our presence. The opening lines talk about the difficulty of revealing the truth and how words can cause emotional wounds to reopen. The singer of the song then talks about the person they are following, the person who makes the rules and is constantly guarded by walls. The singer needs to be close to this person even when they don't know they are around, emphasizing the intense loyalty they feel towards this individual.


The chorus is a simple repetition of the phrase "Follow you," with an emphasis on the word "you." This phrase is powerful in its simplicity, highlighting the central theme of the song, which is about following someone and being loyal to them. The second verse talks about the singer waiting in the dark, waiting for the questions that keep them up at night to be answered. They are torn apart by these questions and feel the need to get answers, so they can stop being haunted by them. However, through all this, they still feel the need to follow the person they are devoted to.


In conclusion, "Follow You" is about the overwhelming need for loyalty towards someone, even when they are not aware of our presence. It's a song about the intense emotions that people can feel towards others and the lengths they are willing to go to stay close to them.
