It grows dark, and darker still lyrics3/19/2024 ![]() They are talking about the boy & girl's identity here, so the boy is saying, "if you can understand who I am, then I can understand who you are", which is a much deeper level than the common usage I've pointed out & still deeper than just having similar experiences. I think that's why James, Kirk, & Lars use "the me" & "the you" instead to delineate what they mean from what has become common usage of "understand me/you". So often when we (as the general western culture population) say, "I understand you", what we really mean is, "I hear/comprehend what you're saying". I want to point out the unique way they talk about the boy & girl understanding each other.
