yaeow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who just wants to leave
And never come back
And you're the perfect company
You got dreams like me
Please can you take me away?
So let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Into the dark, into my heart
I'll follow you
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Away with you
'Cause all of my scars are broken inside
I need you
I need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you
I see myself in you, the same shape of blue
But I'm not as strong
Yeah, I see the pain you carry
And I wanna be there for you, oh
So let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Away with you
Into the dark, into my heart
I'll follow you
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Away with you
'Cause all of my scars are broken inside
I need you
I need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Away with you
Into the dark, Into my heart
I'll follow you
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Away with you
'Cause all of my scars are broken inside
And I need you
The lyrics of "I Need U" by yaeow convey the singer's desire to escape their current reality with someone who understands them. The singer identifies as the "boy in the movie scene" who just wants to leave and never return, while the person they are addressing is the "perfect company" with dreams similar to their own. The singer desperately asks to be taken away from their current life into the unknown with their companion. They can't handle their pain and want to be free from their scars.
As the lyrics continue, the singer reveals that they see themselves in their companion, with the "same shape of blue." However, they acknowledge that they are not as strong as the person they are addressing, and they want to be there for them as well. The chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the singer's need for this person to help them escape their pain.

I'm the boy in the movie scene
I feel like a character in a movie who wants to escape from his reality
Who just wants to leave
I am desperately seeking an escape from my current situation
And never come back
I wish to leave permanently and never face my problems again
And you're the perfect company
You're the person I want to be with during this tough time
You got dreams like me
You have aspirations similar to mine
Please can you take me away?
Can you accompany me and assist me in leaving this problematic situation?
So let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Allow me to come with you without any hesitation
Away with you
Escape with you to another place
Into the dark, into my heart
Let's move away towards someplace where I can find peace
I'll follow you
I will trust you and follow wherever you lead
'Cause all of my scars are broken inside
I am deeply hurt and broken from the inside
I need you
I am dependent on you to get me out of this mess
I see myself in you, the same shape of blue
I can relate to you since we share a similar sad and wounded state
But I'm not as strong
I don't have the strength to handle the situation as you do
Yeah, I see the pain you carry
I can see the hurt and burdens you have on you
And I wanna be there for you, oh
I want to be there to support you in the same way you do for me
And all of my scars are broken inside
My wounds are deep and continue to affect me
I need you, need you, need you
I need you and cannot function without you
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Please let me come along with you
And into the dark, into my heart
Please take me to a place where I can heal and find peace
