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".

I'll show you the lines that we're given
I can't paint it for you
I can't paint it for you
You'll figure this out on your own
You're given the tools to find out what your purpose is
No one will show you
No one will show you
No one controls you
No one controls you
It's all in your head
Don't let them program you
It's all in your head
Don't let them make you who you're not
This is the message
I hope you understand by now
For mass ascension
We need the world to rise
You're given the tools to find out what your purpose is
No one will show you
No one will show you
It's all in your head
Don't let them program you
It's all in your head
Don't let them make you who you're not

We need the world to rise
Don't forget who you are
BLEGH

This is the message
This is the message OHH
The song "Messages" by You touches on themes of race, prejudice, and inequality. The lyrics express frustration towards those who hold back or discriminate against people based on their race. The repetition of the line "No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now" emphasizes the determination of the singer to overcome the obstacles they face. The comparison of black and white skin highlights the absurdity of using physical features to determine a person's worth or capabilities.
The message of the song is summed up in the line, "together we stand divided we fall." The singer is calling for unity and understanding rather than division and prejudice. By acknowledging that everyone has faults and that we all have the same physical features, the song emphasizes our common humanity.
In conclusion, the song "Messages" is a resounding call for unity, understanding, and equality in the face of racial prejudice.

No matter how hard you try
No matter how much effort you put into it
You can't stop me now
You cannot prevent me from achieving my goals
Yes, my skin is black
Acknowledging that their skin color is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Skin color should not be a factor in limiting someone's potential
Oh think about it, think about it,
Reflect on the issue at hand
Think about it, think about it, think about it.
Think about it deeply and thoroughly
I have wants and desires just like you
As a person, I have aspirations and goals too
So move on aside cause I'm a-comin' through
I am determined to succeed, so step aside
Yes, your skin is white
Acknowledging that their listener's skin color is white
Does that make you right
Having a certain skin color does not inherently make one correct or superior
Walk on and think about it, think about it
Continue on your way and ponder the issue further
This is a message, a message to y'all
This is a statement that is meant for everyone to hear
Together we stand divided we fall
We must work together and strive for unity, or we will all suffer the consequences
Black is a color just like white
Black is simply a pigment, no more or less important than white
Tell me how can a color determine whether
Asking how skin color can be used to judge someone's character or worth
You're wrong or right
Whether someone is correct or not should not depend on their skin color
We all have our faults yes we do
Everyone has their own flaws and shortcomings
So look in your mirror
Reflect on oneself
What do you see, two eyes a nose and a
Reminding the listener that we are all human and have similar physical features
Mouth just like me
Emphasizing our commonalities as people
Oh your eyes are open but you refuse to see
The listener is capable of comprehending the issue, but chooses not to acknowledge it
The laws of society were made for both
The laws and regulations in place are meant for all people
You and me
Both the singer and listener are subject to the same laws and regulations
Because of my color I struggle to be free
The artist has faced obstacles and prejudice due to their skin color
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Physical violence can cause harm but cannot break one's spirit or determination
But in the end you're gonna see my friend
One day, the listener will understand and recognize the singer's worth
No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now
The singer will persist in their endeavors despite any opposition
No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.
Reiterating that nothing will prevent the artist from achieving their goals

I forgot about you last night
For the first time in a long time I did
I was caught up in these drinks they keep on making
An amazing conversation
With this girl named Lorraine, who says she's from L.A
And keeps makin me laugh and even asks if she can pay
She could be good for me yeahh
That's when you text me
Tell me that you miss me, I forget about Lorraine
And the fact she's right here with me
She's starin' in my face, somethin had to change
Thought that all these feelings went away
Ohhh
[Hook]
I hate getting, messages from you, from you
It's like you know the perfect shit to say
Fucks up my whole day
I thought that all these feelings went away
I hate getting messages from you, from you
Especially when you say you should've stayed
Fucks up my whole day
I thought that all these feelings went away
Ohhh
