You're Mine
ist ist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perseverance over all
Trying to make the mind the body
So to
Pass the time
You're mine, you're mine
You're mine, you're mine
An arrogance over all things
Removes the joy of winning now
Need to reaccess
And understand the essence of life
The life that we possess
You're mine, you're mine
You're mine, you're mine
You're mine, you're mine
You're mine, you're mine
The song "You're Mine" by ist ist presents a reflective and introspective perspective on the concept of possession and control, both of oneself and of others. The opening lines convey a sense of urgency and determination, with the singer expressing their desire to constantly improve themselves and make the most of their time. The repetition of the phrase "you're mine" could be interpreted in different ways - it may represent the singer's relationship with someone they consider "theirs," or it could be an affirmation of the singer's own agency and control over their own life.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a more critical tone, with the singer questioning the value of arrogance and the pursuit of victory at all costs. Rather than focusing solely on achievement, the singer suggests that it is important to take a step back and consider the wider context of one's existence, and to appreciate the simple fact of being alive. The final repetition of the phrase "you're mine" could be seen as a reminder to cherish the present moment and the people and experiences that have become part of one's life.
Overall, "You're Mine" is a song that explores themes of ambition, perseverance, and self-reflection. It challenges the listener to consider what they value most in life and encourages them to take a more mindful approach to their day-to-day existence.

You remind me of my early Gothic days. The time in the 80s when all the great bands were still playing really good music. Wonderful 🖤
@bungfupanda8936
Well said! My feeling about this band entirely too! I'm an old goth in my late fifties and these guys have grabbed my attention like no band has in decades! Seen them live twice now and they are absolutely brilliant, just like bands played in the late seventies and eighties.

Blown away. A friend of mine in Manchester told me to check these guys out, he also turned me on to Slow Readers Club. This song is unbelievable, immediately thought of the first album from Editors. Can't wait for more.
