You, Me, and One Spotlight (My Translation)
This is the chorus of this song, or the original at least. This is the most important part. I'll take it line by line.
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me through the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
Say You will be all around me. This is our own plea for Jesus to be near us and to save us. We ask for him to surround us and protect us from evil or harm.
When your body sets your heart free. I never quite understand this line, so I interpret it differently, but I think this could definitely be that we desire for freedom from our corrupted physical self, and we can't wait to see our savior again.
Say You will be all around me. The same plea as before, but reiterating makes it more powerful.
Say You'll get me through the ending. I always take this as Say you'll [guide] me through the ending. This would be our personal request for Christ to stay with us through everything, and we know that he will.
Take my body, set my heart free. This to me would be saying take my sins and faults of the natural man, and make me perfect. He takes our sins to sets our souls free from our guilt.
Say You'll get me through the ending. This line again reminds us we really do need him.
Say You will be (You won't be long). You won't be long can also be, please don't be long! We need him and we are asking him to be there soon.
All Around Me (You won't be long now). We are assured he will be near us and we can make it through with him. He won't be long when we need him.
It can also be interpreted that this is about when we die and we ask Christ to get us before the ending and guide us through, while He promises to be with us always.
You, Me, and One Spotlight
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
I'll hold you close then
And let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show, one last time
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
I'll look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there
Together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we'll just err
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
To watch the world burning bright
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show, one last time
It won't be long now
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body, set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
