Somebody
Yearning for Connection: Depeche Mode's 'Somebody' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
I desire a companion to spend the remainder of my life with.
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details
Seeking someone who will understand my deepest thoughts and personal details.
Someone who'll stand by my side and give me support
Desiring a partner who will offer steadfast support and stand by me.
And in return, she'll get my support
Willing to reciprocate support in return for the partner's backing.
She will listen to me when I want to speak
Wanting someone who will listen attentively when I express myself.
About the world we live in and life in general
Wishing to discuss various aspects of life and the world we inhabit.
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
Admitting that my opinions might be unconventional or distorted.
She'll hear me out and won't easily be converted
Desiring a partner who will listen without being quick to change my opinions.
To my way of thinking, in fact, she'll often disagree
Accepting disagreement with my perspectives, yet seeking understanding.
But at the end of it all, she will understand me
Expecting that ultimately, my partner will comprehend and empathize with me.
Aah

I want somebody who cares for me passionately
Desiring intense, passionate care and affection from a partner.
With every thought and with every breath
Seeking someone deeply invested in thoughts and actions towards me.
Someone who'll help me see things in a different light
Desiring a partner who can provide a different perspective on things I dislike.
All the things I detest I will almost like
Expressing a willingness to change attitudes towards disliked things for the partner's sake.
I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings
Rejecting the idea of being controlled or manipulated by anyone.
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things
Being cautious and intentionally avoiding getting involved in controlling relationships.
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Yearning for someone to be present and provide comfort while asleep.
Who will put their arms around me and kiss me tenderly
Desiring affectionate gestures like embracing and tender kisses during sleep.
Though things like this make me sick
Admitting that such affectionate acts might not align with personal preferences.
In a case like this, I'll get away with it
Recognizing a contradiction in desires but accepting it due to the circumstances.
Aah
