Me on You
Unraveling the Shadows: Teddy Robb's Poetic Journey in 'Me on You'
Lyrics
Girl, have you heard what they're saying
Addressing a girl and asking if she's aware of rumors or gossip.
All that small town speculation
Referring to small-town rumors or assumptions about the speaker.
I've been going to dark places every night
Expressing a struggle with inner demons or emotional turmoil every night.
I've got red eyes when they see me
Having noticeable red eyes, possibly from lack of sleep or emotional distress.
But I know they don't believe me
Aware that others doubt or disbelieve the speaker's situation or emotions.
When I say I haven't been sleeping
Asserting that despite appearances, the speaker hasn't been able to sleep.
But I'm alright
Claiming overall well-being despite the challenges mentioned.
This up all night ain't a
Denying that staying up all night is a deliberate habit.
Habit I'm trying to keep i may be high
Acknowledging being under the influence but rejecting common assumptions.
But it's not like what they think
Challenging preconceptions about the speaker's behavior or lifestyle.
All this 'need a hit', 'can't quit'
Describing societal expectations or judgments related to drug use.
Looking for the next fix fool I turned into
Expressing a transformation into someone others might view negatively.
That's just me girl, me on you
Identifying the speaker's true self, intertwined with the girl addressed.
This kind of buzz you can't find in a bottle
Highlighting a unique, irreplaceable feeling that can't be found through substances.
No prescription pill that you pop or swallow
Emphasizing the incomparable nature of the emotional high associated with love.
It ain't sold out in Colorado
Stating that this emotional experience isn't replicable or purchasable.
Ain't no drug like your love
Comparing the intensity of the emotional high to a powerful drug.
This up all night ain't a
Reiterating that staying up all night is not a deliberate habit.
Habit I'm trying to keep i may be high
Acknowledging the speaker's altered state but rejecting stereotypes.
But it's not like what they think
Repeating the theme of challenging assumptions about the speaker.
All this 'need a hit', 'can't quit'
Describing societal pressure or temptation related to substance use.
Looking for the next fix fool I turned into
Indicating a past negative transformation due to external influences.
That's just me girl, me on you
Reiterating the speaker's true self being revealed in the context of a relationship.
This up all night ain't a
Denying a deliberate pattern of staying up all night.
Habit I'm trying to keep i may be high
Acknowledging an altered state without conforming to societal expectations.
But it ain't like what they think
Emphasizing the disparity between appearances and reality.
All this 'need a hit', 'can't quit'
Referencing societal pressure or the search for emotional relief.
'looking for the next fix'
Continuing to describe the negative effects of external influences.
Fool I turned into
Highlighting a transformation into someone undesirable due to external factors.
That's just me girl, me on you
Reaffirming the speaker's true self being revealed in the relationship.
This up all night ain't a
Rejecting the idea of deliberately staying up all night as a habit.
