About You

XXYYXX- "About You", from the album XXYYXX

There is only one section of lyrics in this entire song. However, they are reversed and slowed down.
This song's lyrics aren't the only poetic thing about it- the music seems to have a rhythmic sequence to it.

One that speaks and has its own story.

The central vibe of this song is very romantic and lustful. It seems to have a meaning of missing someone, and wanting of their presence. This song deepens the true feeling of what it is like to miss a person.

"In the sea of night where my soul is real

Broken visions let the darkness heal

And the dream of life will surely reside"

These specific lyrics are quite vivid- they provide a sense of what the author is thinking. The night provides a shelter from the pain they experience; a shelter that they can live in comfortably in comparison to the harsh brightness of reality. This multidimensional language transcends physically being in the dark, but mentally in the dark. 

Another aspect of this song that is multidimensional is that the lyrics are backwards- actually they sound more intriguing and better being backwards than the traditional forwards. This sense of reversal again plays into the theme of what it feels like to miss someone- your life suddenly feels reversed, lacking a vital aspect of your daily being. 

"I can hear your heart, I can touch your skin

Feel the whole world breathing from within

I can live in here forever inside"

These lyrics provide a more intimate aspect to missing a human. While the previous lyrics are more about a personality/mental change, this stanza reads more to the physical. The author needs his/her's missing person for a physical reason- not necessarily sexual, just for comfort. The "live in here forever inside" is a way of saying that the person that is gone provided a sense of home, a sense of ease.
