Only You
Unveiling the Heart's Yearning: Luke Slater's 'Only You' Meaning
Lyrics
We suffer everyday
We experience hardship every day.
What is it for
Questioning the purpose or reason behind the suffering.
These crams of illusion
Referring to false beliefs or misconceptions that deceive us.
Are fooling us all
Illusions are misleading everyone.
And now I am wearie
Expressing weariness or fatigue.
And I feel like I do
Feeling a certain way.
It's only you
Addressing someone or something that stands out.
Who can tell me apart
Highlighting the unique ability of 'you' to discern the speaker from others.
And it's only you
'You' possess the power to affect the speaker emotionally.
Who can turn my wooden heart
Describing the influence of 'you' on the speaker's emotions.
The size of our fight
The magnitude or scale of conflicts is merely a dream or illusion.
It's just a dream
Everything has been crushed, possibly referring to dreams or aspirations.
We've cruched everything
Difficulty seeing clearly due to self-centeredness in the morning.
I can't see in this morning selfishly
Reflecting on a past fall or failure.
How we fell
Describing the emotional state after a fall or failure.
And I feel like I do
Reiterating a feeling similar to earlier in the lyrics.
It's only you
'You' possess the ability to differentiate the speaker from others.
Who can tell me apart
Reiterating the unique discernment of 'you.'
And it's only you
'You' have the power to emotionally impact the speaker.
Who can turn my wooden heart
Expressing the emotional influence of 'you' on the speaker's heart.
Now that we've chosen to take all we can
Having chosen to take all available opportunities or experiences.
The shade of autumn will stare bitter end
Referring to the bitterness at the end of autumn.
Years of frustration laid down side by side
Years of dissatisfaction placed together.
And It's only you
Reiterating the ability of 'you' to distinguish the speaker.
Who can tell me apart
Emphasizing the unique discernment of 'you.'
And it's only you
'You' hold the power to affect the speaker emotionally.
Who can turn my wooden heart
Describing the emotional impact of 'you' on the speaker's heart.
It's only you
Restating the ability of 'you' to distinguish the speaker.
Who can tell me apart
Reiterating the unique discernment of 'you.'
And it's only you
'You' have the power to emotionally influence the speaker.
Who can turn my wooden heart
Expressing the emotional impact of 'you' on the speaker's heart.
