Some People
Love's Paradox: Unraveling Emotions in Anne-Marie's 'Some People'
Lyrics
She don't, she don't, she don't, she don't
Emphasis on the repeated refusal of someone (she) towards another person.
She don't want him, she don't want him anymore
Reiteration of her disinterest and the end of her desire for the person.
She don't, she don't, she don't, she don't
Continuation of the emphasis on her persistent lack of interest.
She don't want him anymore
Confirmation that she no longer wants the person.
Don't know why I try
Expressing confusion about the effort invested in the relationship.
Don't know why I wake up sometimes
Questioning the reason for waking up in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, I'll wait for you
Waiting for someone who doesn't reciprocate with calls or texts.
You don't even call me up or text me back
Highlighting the lack of communication and care from the other person.
Don't give a fuck
Expressing indifference and frustration.
I don't know why I try
Repetition of the confusion and frustration in trying to make the relationship work.
I cry, I cry, I cry my eyes out
Intense emotional expression through crying.
Mmm, so I just wait
Waiting patiently despite emotional distress.
Wide awake
Being fully aware and alert in a difficult situation.
I give it all
Giving one's all in the relationship.
And you just take
Feeling unreciprocated, as the other person takes without giving.
Some people act single even when they're in love
Observation of people who act as if they are single despite being in love.
She don't, she don't
Reiteration of her disinterest in the person.
Some people forgetful, even when they're in love
Commentary on forgetful behavior even in the context of love.
Even when they're in love
Repetition emphasizing forgetfulness despite being in love.
Usually much more confident than I am with you
Comparing confidence levels unfavorably in the context of the relationship.
I don't know why I take the things I do
Expressing confusion about the decisions made in the relationship.
Try to make conversation, but talk in loops
Difficulty in having meaningful conversations, possibly due to repetition.
These loops, these loops, these loops
Highlighting the repetitive nature of the communication.
Wish you wouldn't lie to me
Expressing a desire for honesty in the relationship.
When you're here lying with me
Contrast between verbal and physical presence, longing for sincerity.
I just want something deeper
Seeking a deeper connection beyond superficial understanding.
Than what you think is deep
Desiring a depth that goes beyond the other person's perception of depth.
Some people act single even when they're in love
Reiteration of the observation of people acting single despite being in love.
She don't, she don't
Reiteration of her disinterest in the person.
Some people forgetful, even when they're in love
Commentary on forgetful behavior even in the context of love.
Even when they're in love
Repetition emphasizing forgetfulness despite being in love.
Love, love
Repetition of the word "love" to emphasize its presence in relationships.
Love, love
Continuation of emphasizing the existence of love.
Love, love
Reiteration of the persistent presence of love.
Even when they're in love
Emphasizing that love exists even when individuals act as if they are not in love.
She don't, she don't, she don't, she don't
Repetition of her disinterest and the end of her desire for the person.
She don't want him, she don't want him anymore
Reiteration of her disinterest and the end of her desire for the person.
She don't, she don't, she don't, she don't
