About Us

Hofmann & Weigold's song 'About Us' delves into the complexities of a relationship that seems to be drifting apart. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional turbulence, using the metaphor of a river to symbolize the flow of feelings and the passage of time. The repeated imagery of the river, which 'can't flowing' and shows 'no sign is slowing,' suggests a sense of inevitability and the unstoppable nature of change. The north, representing a direction or perhaps a person, continues to move forward, leaving the other behind, encapsulating the feeling of being left alone in the wake of a relationship's end.

The phrase 'dab into the cold' and 'into the flow' evokes a sense of plunging into the unknown, facing the harsh realities of life and love. The repetition of 'But I know about us' signifies a deep understanding or acceptance of the relationship's dynamics, despite the external chaos. This line serves as a grounding point, a reminder of the shared history and the emotional truths that bind the individuals together, even as they drift apart.

The cryptic lines about 'opening the vocabulary' and 'locking the door up like a fabuje' add a layer of mystery, perhaps alluding to the difficulty of communication and the barriers that words can create. The mention of 'selling for the code for drake away' could imply a sense of betrayal or the loss of something valuable. Overall, 'About Us' captures the essence of a relationship in flux, marked by a blend of resignation and profound understanding, set against the backdrop of life's relentless forward motion.
