Is It Really You?
Loathe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Face away
Deal with the pain
Your own way
How could they deal with the pain?

I knew
That it was mine too
And you?

Is it really you?

Let's search the sky for a while
You and I
Collide like two stars for a while
You and I

Crushed by silent snow
Not the first I know
Caught in ebb and flow
I'm bleeding out, oh you know

Is it really you?
Let's search the sky for a while
You and I

Collide like two stars for a while
You and I


Overall Meaning

The song "Is It Really You?" by Loathe seems to be about dealing with pain in your own way, and questioning whether someone you once knew is truly still themselves. The opening lyrics, "Face away / Deal with the pain / Your own way / How could they deal with the pain?" suggest that the singer is dealing with pain and looking for their own way to cope with it, but also questioning how others can handle their own pain.


The chorus, "I knew / That it was mine too / And you? / Is it really you?" implies that the singer has also experienced similar pain to the person they're addressing, but they're unsure if that person is still their true self. The line "Crushed by silent snow / Not the first I know / Caught in ebb and flow / I'm bleeding out, oh you know" suggests that the pain is overwhelming and constant, and that the singer feels alone in their struggle.


The final lines of the chorus, "Let's search the sky for a while / You and I / Collide like two stars for a while / You and I," offer a glimmer of hope that perhaps together they can find a way to overcome their pain and reconnect.


Overall, it seems that "Is It Really You?" is a song about the struggle to deal with pain and questioning the authenticity of those around us. The hopeful chorus suggests that even in the midst of pain, there is a possibility for connection and finding a way through it all.
