Cover art for R U Mine? lyrics by Arctic Monkeys

Definately about the off and ons of him and Alexa Chung. Really clever song about just being driven crazy by game playing.

I'm a puppet on a string Tracy Island, time-traveling Diamond cutter shaped heartaches Come to find ya four in some velvet morning Years too late She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me

(First line: him describing how much she controls him as if hes just her puppet. Second: I think its just him trying to say how all over the place he is Third: great line, bascially saying descrbing his heart aches to being cut by diamond emphisising the pain as well as diamond being a connataion of beauty, maybe she wears diamonds and it reminds him of her. Fourth/fifth: Saying she's pefect and then saying how lonely he is, how far away she is. Sixth: rounding off the previous line by saying how crazy it makes him when shes not right there)

I go crazy 'cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?

(First line: In a litteral and nonlitteral sense, like he doesn't want to be anywhere shes not so he goes crazy whenever he's not in the place she is and its where he doesn't want to be and in the way that he doesn't want to be in the position they are right now always playing games and not knowing where they stand. Second: speaks for itself, great line just saying how he's never fully satisfied like when he properly had her. Third: he can't keep the games together anymore, he can't keep just playing it cool Fourth: he wants her to be driven crazy too and just ask if he's hers instead of keeping playing games Fifth/sixth/seventh: him keeping wanting to ask her

I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we’re not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She’s a silver lining climbing on my desire

(First: He's trying to calm down and put it in a more laid back way to save face saying he just needs to know and have it all or none instead of being so open like he just was. Second: He spends his whole life imagining getting to be with her and meeting her now and he's wishing away his lifetime by spending his whole life wishing. Third: He just wants to be back to how they were when all they'd do is stay together and "misbehave" Fourth: nothing else mattered to them, they just escaped from the rest of the world and time was endless Fifth: calling her perfect again and knowing she's all he wants)

And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”

Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine?)

(This whole bit is just saying how he thinks the fact their together tonight is just so she can have a bit of fun and he's asking will you actually stay with me past tonight)

And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I’m mistaken, I just wanna hear you say "you got me baby" Are you mine?

(First line: speaks for itself, brilliant line. Second line: him thinking what if it is all actually in his head and he's mistaken. Third/fourth: speak for thereselfs again.

She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be

And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”

Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow or just mine tonight?)

Yeah at least 3 songs on AM are about Alexa Chung.

I think it's about Arielle.

He starts describing how he was feeling beforte meet her (a puppet/tracy island), he was heartbroken (diamond cutter shaped heartaches) and found her (come to find ya four in some velvet morning)

It's a song about the beggining of a new relationship, she gives him hope (she’s a silver lining), although he doens't know where they really are (are you mine tomorrow? or just mine tonight?)

Besides, he wrote this song after met Arielle and she is on the music video.
