Somebody Loves You
Embracing Love and Self-Discovery: Somebody Understands
Lyrics
Sea of faces
Observation of a crowd or multitude of people
Rolling on the big wave
Metaphorical reference to life's challenges or opportunities
Wish that I could dive right in
Desire to be actively involved or immersed in life's experiences
Shiny faces,
People with positive and enthusiastic expressions
Glowing in the light rays
Faces illuminated by light, possibly symbolizing positivity
Smiling at me, sink or swim
Others smiling at the speaker, suggesting a supportive environment
I put my words upon their lips
The speaker expressing thoughts through others
I put my body at their finger tips
Offering oneself to others, possibly in a vulnerable way
And
Transition to the chorus, emphasizing the feeling of being loved
It feels like somebody loves you,
Emphasizing the sensation of being loved by someone
somebody understands
Feeling understood by others
It gets like you gotta be there
Importance of being present for others
you gotta see those hands
Highlighting the significance of witnessing supportive gestures
It's my party
Reference to a personal celebration or experience
I don't have to impress
Freedom from societal expectations at the speaker's party
I don't have to try too hard
Not needing to make a great effort to fit in
Yeah it's my party
Reiteration of the speaker's freedom and autonomy
I don't have to care less
Not being overly concerned about others' opinions
I can always play my part
Ability to play a role without compromising authenticity
They know my face and they know my name
Recognition and familiarity from others
They know my shamelessness
Awareness of the speaker's lack of shame
but not my shame
Contrasting shamelessness with an undisclosed sense of shame
And
Transition to the chorus, repeating the theme of feeling loved
It feels like somebody loves you,
Reiterating the sensation of being loved by someone
somebody understands
Emphasizing the feeling of being understood by others
It gets like you gotta be there
Reinforcing the importance of being present for others
you gotta see those hands
Highlighting the significance of witnessing supportive gestures
Reaching out, reaching up for somebody
Expressing the act of reaching out for connection
And I'm the only one they see
The speaker being the focus of others' attention
Lucky break just as well they don't realise
Fortunate circumstances, but the speaker's greater need for others
That I need them much more
The speaker relying on others more than they realize
than they need me
Acknowledging a dependency on the support of others
Hello home boy
Greeting to someone entering a reality with challenges
Welcome to the real world
Acknowledgment of a need to face life's realities
Say what planet have I been on
Reflecting on a period of unawareness or inactivity
Time to wake up
Realization of the need to be alert and engaged
Time to smell the roses
Acknowledging the importance of appreciating life's moments
Who's gonna love me when they've gone
Concern about who will love the speaker when others are gone
What will I do without my wishing well
Dependency on a source of hope or fulfillment
What will I say if I can't talk about myself
Concern about the ability to communicate without self-reference
I may be crazy, you can call me mad
Acknowledgment of potential unconventional thinking
I call it simple you call it sad
Defending simplicity against a judgment of sadness
But
Transition to the chorus, repeating the theme of feeling loved
It feels like somebody loves you,
Reiterating the sensation of being loved by someone
somebody understands
Emphasizing the feeling of being understood by others
It gets like you gotta be there
Reinforcing the importance of being present for others
you gotta see those hands
Highlighting the significance of witnessing supportive gestures
