We've Got It

Cults' song "We've Got It" delves into the themes of exclusivity, devotion, and the disillusionment that can come with relationships. The lyrics suggest a sense of superiority and uniqueness, as if the subjects believe they are the only ones who matter. This is evident in lines like "I bet you think that you're the only ones" and "There's no one else for me but you." The repetition of these phrases underscores a deep-seated belief in the exclusivity of their bond, almost to the point of arrogance.

The song also explores the idea of unwavering devotion, with lines such as "There's no one else for me but you" and "There's only you, my love." This suggests a kind of blind loyalty, where the speaker is entirely focused on their partner, to the exclusion of all others. However, this devotion is tinged with a sense of finality and resignation, as seen in the lines "And we won't be a problem anymore" and "Oh no, no more." It implies that this intense focus on one another may have led to issues that are now being resolved, possibly through separation or a change in perspective.

Additionally, the song touches on the theme of disillusionment. The lines "We're not here waiting up for you" and "There's no more tears to cry for you" indicate a shift from a state of emotional dependence to one of independence. The repeated assertion that "There's no one else that's really here" could be interpreted as a realization that the relationship was built on an illusion, and that the emotional investment was one-sided. This shift from devotion to disillusionment adds a layer of complexity to the song, making it a poignant exploration of the highs and lows of romantic relationships.
