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".
Lost Love
You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're feeling lost
Take it as it comes
Take it as it comes
In the farmland, we used to call the shots
Now I'm taking them, just an afterthought
Running out of time, wish I could make it stop
Take it as it comes
When you're feelin' lost
Take it as it comes
Take it as it comes
You're the light that's on, but no one is home
I wanna speed things up, but you take it slow
Find it hard to say what I mean to say
If I tell the truth, don't you walk away?
Take it as it comes
When you're feeling lost
Take it as it comes
When you've seen too much
Coming back's the hardest part
When your dreams have gathered dust
Take it as it comes
Take it as it comes
Coming back's the hardest part
When your world falls apart
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm not giving up, giving up
And take it as it comes
When you're feeling lost
Take it as it comes
Yeah, take it as it comes
And take it as it comes
Coming back's the hardest part (coming back's the hardest part)
When your world falls apart (when your world, when your world)
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm not giving up, giving up
I'm not giving up, giving up
The lyrics of "Lost" by You and Me convey a sense of accepting and embracing challenges and uncertainties in life. The repetition of the phrase "Take it as it comes" emphasizes the importance of facing situations as they arise, rather than trying to control or manipulate them.
The opening lines, "In the farmland, we used to call the shots / Now I'm taking them, just an afterthought" reflect a change in the dynamics of a relationship or personal journey. It suggests a shift in power dynamics, where the singer feels less influential or significant, possibly leading to a feeling of being lost.
The line "All your working parts are my gateway drug" symbolizes a dependency on someone or something for emotional stability or fulfillment. It implies that the singer relies on another person as a means of escape or a source of happiness.
"You're the light that's on, but no one is home / I wanna speed things up, but you take it slow" demonstrates a contrast between the singer's desire for progress and the other person's preference for a more gradual approach. This tension in their individual paces or goals creates communication difficulties and makes it challenging for the singer to express their true feelings.
The chorus, "When you've seen too much, coming back's the hardest part / When your dreams have gathered dust, take it as it comes," suggests that when one has faced significant challenges or setbacks, it becomes difficult to regain motivation or take control of their dreams again. It emphasizes the importance of accepting the reality of the situation and taking it one step at a time.
The phrase "I'm not giving up, giving up" repeated multiple times at the end of the song signifies a strong determination and resilience in the face of adversity. It implies a refusal to let go or surrender, highlighting the commitment to facing difficulties head-on rather than avoiding or running away from them.
Overall, the song "Lost" speaks to the universal experience of feeling directionless, uncertain, and overwhelmed. It encourages listeners to embrace obstacles, accept the uncontrollable aspects of life, and remain resilient in the face of adversity.

Take it as it comes
Continue to embrace whatever comes your way
In the farmland, we used to call the shots
In the past, we had control over our lives and decisions
Now I'm taking them, just an afterthought
Now I'm making decisions, but it feels as if they don't really matter
Running out of time, wish I could make it stop
Feeling a sense of urgency and desperation, wishing to pause time
All your working parts are my gateway drug
Your presence and influence have become addictive and impactful
You're the light that's on, but no one is home
You appear present, but emotionally distant or unavailable
I wanna speed things up, but you take it slow
I desire a quicker pace, while you prefer a slower approach
Find it hard to say what I mean to say
Struggling to effectively communicate my true thoughts and feelings
If I tell the truth, don't you walk away?
Will you stay by my side even if I reveal my true self?
When you've seen too much
When you have experienced an overwhelming amount of things
Coming back's the hardest part
Returning to a previous state or situation is the most challenging
When your dreams have gathered dust
When your aspirations and ambitions have been neglected or forgotten
I'm not giving up, giving up
I refuse to surrender or abandon hope
And take it as it comes
Continuing to embrace whatever comes my way
Yeah, take it as it comes
Yes, fully embrace whatever comes my way
Coming back's the hardest part
Returning to a previous state or situation is the most challenging
When your world falls apart
When everything around you crumbles or collapses
I'm not giving up, giving up
I refuse to surrender or abandon hope
I'm not giving up, giving up
I refuse to surrender or abandon hope
I'm not giving up, giving up
I refuse to surrender or abandon hope
