This same line-up also recorded the next release, the EP "Scanner part 1 & 2" in 1981. After this line-up changes were afoot, with Weber and Grosskopf leaving; leaving the duo of Hanten and Meskes - and this duo would be the only permanent mebers of this project further on. In 1982 they hit the studio again, to make their second full-length album. Former member Weber made a guest appearance on this venture along with Helmut Brüker; and the finalized result was issued in June 1983, named "Time Code". In December 1983 Hanten and Meskes hit the studio again; this time without guest musicians. Two months later their third album was completed, and was issued in the first half of 1984 as "Wonders From the Genetic Factory.
Late in 1985 You started recording what was to be their last album in this first phase of their existence. Featuring guest appearances from Jaime Zenamon and Klaus Gertken. "Laserscape" was made availble to the general public in April 1986.
Following this release Hanten and Meskes hooked up with former member Grosskopf to form the project "Central Europe Performance"; an outfit concentrating on live performances. In the just over 20 years this still existing project many musicians have been involved; with Hanten and Meskes as the core foundation of the outfit. 1995 saw a new addition to the discography of You, with the release of the multimedia production "00:1996:00", and the following year the 5 CD box compilation "Era" saw the light of day.
In 2000 You chose to change moniker, and opted for the use of Yourovion; and releases a fair number of albums of various kinds under that name. In April 2009 Hanten and Meskes announced that they would return to their former moniker You, and that they'll herald the 30th anniversary of their debut album with a limited edition CD package names "The Electric Box".
Keep You Safe
You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember everything, I remember your touch, but you don't
I wanna let this pain to go away, but you won't
I showed you my dark side, but you didn't wanna see it
I showed you my feelings, but you thought I didn't mean that
I stopped the world, just to stare at your face, but you thought you're trapped in a maze
I don't wanna be the place where you are scared to be. Wanna be the protection that you need to keep you safe
In "Keep You Safe" by YÖU, the lyrics speak to a longing for the deep connection and intimacy that once existed in a relationship. The singer invites their partner to come and sit with them, reminiscing about the times when they would lose themselves in each other. The line "I remember your touch, but you don't" suggests that while the singer holds onto the memories and experiences they shared, their partner has seemingly forgotten or dismissed them.
The next few lines express the singer's desire to move past the pain caused by the broken connection. They long for their partner to reciprocate this desire and to work together in finding a resolution. However, it becomes apparent that the partner is unwilling to let go of their own pain or to fully see and acknowledge the depth of the singer's vulnerability. The lyrics "I showed you my dark side, but you didn't wanna see it, I showed you my feelings, but you thought I didn't mean that" reveal the frustration and disappointment the singer feels, as their efforts to be seen and understood are disregarded.
The following line, "I stopped the world, just to stare at your face, but you thought you're trapped in a maze," encapsulates the singer's willingness to prioritize their partner and prioritize their relationship. However, instead of recognizing this dedication and the significance of the singer's actions, the partner perceives it as a form of confinement or entrapment.
The final lines of the song show the singer's desire to be a source of safety and protection for their partner. They aspire to be a haven where their partner can find solace and security, as opposed to being a place that instills fear or uncertainty. The lyrics "I don't wanna be the place where you are scared to be, wanna be the protection that you need to keep you safe" convey the singer's wish to provide emotional support and to create an environment where their partner feels cared for and sheltered. Ultimately, it seems that the singer yearns for the restoration of a deep emotional connection and for their partner to recognize and reciprocate their efforts to heal and strengthen the relationship.

Dear person whoever reads this,
Hey, you, yes, I am talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day, because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) You’re such a beautiful human being and worth and enough. I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy, I know society build up the standard that whenever you’re alone you’re not living a happy live. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer. I hope you let yourself rest, don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret, and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy. If you ever feel lonely then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too, maybe feeling the same way..I am glad you exist and I hope you won’t ever remove your own spot in this world, maybe you don’t feel like you belong here but, Angel, then build your home here. I don’t want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, I don’t want you to see yourself just existing. You deserve it. Whatever happened, it’s not your fault, the demons in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours, so why let them win over you? . You’re not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you’re reading this than please never forget to breath and smile.
Don’t live up to other standards! It’s your story and not theirs.
Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one.
You’re not a burden to anyone, don’t be afraid to talk, to use your voice.
Please don’t starve yourself. Please eat, I know it’s hard but you deserve food. You deserve to eat and drink.
You’re beautiful inside out. Your body is beautiful the way it is. It hurts me to see you’re in pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. I know you can do this.
