The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Me without You" by the artist "TobyMac"

Contents

This song, "Me Without You," is TobyMac's reflection on his dependence on God and how lost he would be without Him.

The opening lines create an atmosphere of loneliness and melancholy: the protagonist wanders in the rain, feeling lost. But then he remembers God's love and finds comfort in His "unfailing embrace."

What follows is the chorus, repeated throughout the song – "That's me without You." TobyMac honestly admits his weaknesses. He tends to make wrong decisions, "pack his bags" even when he needs to stay, fight for unnecessary goals, and build "kingdoms" doomed to fail.

Memories of the past, where he was with God, are full of gratitude. God gave him faith and showed him the right way. Without Him, he would continue to wander in the dark, making the same mistakes.

The recurring phrase "What would become of me if I were with You?" is not a question, but rather a rhetorical statement. TobyMac realizes that without God his life would be a series of mistakes and falls. The final lines are a declaration of love and devotion, a confirmation that only in God does he find salvation and meaning.

Raindrops rolling off my brim

Street lights got the pavement glistening

Touchdown, I've fallen to your arms

Right where I belong, your everlasting arms

And where would I be with you?

I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay

I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way

I've been building my kingdom

Just to watch it fade away, it's true

That's me without you

That's me without you

That's me without you

Don't know where I'd be without you

Flashback, stepping through the scene

There's you and there's a very different me

Touchdown, you had me at believe

You had me at believe, you did

And where would I be with you?

I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay

I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way

I've been building my kingdom

Just to watch it fade away, it's true

That's me without you

That's me without you

That's me without you

Don't know where I'd be without you

You rescued me, you are my, I am yours

You rescued me and I am yours forever

You saved me, remade me, where would I be?

I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay

I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way

I've been building my kingdom

Just to watch it fade away, it's true

And where would I be with you?

I'd be packing my bags when I need to stay

I'd be chasing every breeze that blows my way

I've been building my kingdom

Just to watch it fade away, it's true

That's me without you

That's me without you

That's me without you

Don't know where I'd be without you

That's me without you

Don't know where I'd be without you
