You Against Me
Us Against the Shadows: Unraveling the Mysterious Tale of 'You Against Me'
Lyrics
We speak in riddles
We communicate in a puzzling manner
Get lost in the middle
We become confused or disoriented in the middle of something
Words are like ghosts, shock from the shadows
Words have a haunting quality, unexpectedly emerging from hidden places
We run a riot, get caught in the fire
We engage in chaotic behavior and find ourselves in the midst of conflict
With nothing to burn, we never learn
Despite having nothing left to lose, we fail to gain wisdom
We don’t wanna talk right now
We are avoiding conversation at the moment
Words are falling out
Words are being spoken unintentionally
And they’re haunting you and me
The spoken words are haunting both individuals
Maybe we should run this time
Suggesting the idea of escaping from the current situation
Cause we still got time
There is still time to make a change
Find the people that we used to be
Seeking to rediscover their past selves
So let’s Drive into the night, turn off the headlights Disappear like Ghosts
Proposing a journey into the night, leaving behind troubles like ghosts
Leave all those of fights
Choosing to abandon past conflicts
I paid the price and we’re right back down to zero
Reflecting on the consequences of previous actions, returning to a starting point
Drive into the night, I guess it’s one more place that we don’t fit just right
Driving into the night symbolizes a place where they don't quite belong
It’s us against the world
Emphasizing a collective struggle against the world
But you against me
Highlighting an internal conflict between the two individuals
You set the scene and I play the part
Describing a scenario set by one person with the other playing a role
I watch in slow motion as you crash this car
Observing a destructive event unfold slowly
No I don’t wanna talk right now, words are falling out
Reiterating the avoidance of conversation, with words affecting only one person
And they’re haunting only me
Words continue to haunt the thoughts of one individual
Maybe I should run this time
Suggesting the possibility of the other person considering escape
Cause I’ve still got time
Indicating that there is still time for personal change
Find the person that I used to be
Searching for the person that one used to be
So let’s Drive into the night, turn off the headlights Disappear like Ghosts
Repeating the idea of driving into the night, leaving behind troubles like ghosts
Leave all those of fights
Choosing to abandon past conflicts once again
I paid the price and we’re right back down to zero
Reiterating the consequences of past actions, returning to a starting point
Drive into the night, I guess it’s one more place that we don’t fit just right
Acknowledging another place where they don't quite fit
It’s us against the world
Emphasizing the collective struggle against the world once more
But you against me
Underlining the internal conflict, with one person against the other
