Someone New
Hozier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose
Would things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey, there is no right way
And so I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
There's an art to life's distraction
To somehow escape the burning wait
The art of scraping through
Some like to imagine
The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do
Would things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey, there is no right way
And so I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I wake at the first cringe of morning
And my heart's already sinned
How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha
That you would pray for him
'Cause God knows I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
Every day with someone new
The lyrics of Hozier's "Someone New" revolve around the idea of constantly falling in love with someone new as a means of distraction from the pains of life. The opening lines "Go and take this the wrong way, you knew who I was with every step that I ran to you" suggest that the singer is aware of a certain level of difficulty that exists in love, but seeks to fall in love with someone new every day to escape any feelings of melancholy. The second verse highlights the singer's use of art to escape the wait for love to come along. While some try to find another's embrace, the singer falls in love with every stranger they come across.
The chorus "Every day with someone new, I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit" emphasizes the singer's frequency of falling in love and the relative ease with which they do so. The bridge "I wake at the first cringe of morning, and my heart's already sinned" suggests that the singer wakes up feeling guilty about falling in love with someone new. However, the mention of Aretha Franklin's prayer for the singer's love interest implies that the singer recognizes the weight of love and desires it to be pure and genuine.
Overall, the song speaks to the beauty and tragedy of love, and the singer's struggle to find a genuine connection amidst the constant distractions and disappointments of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Go and take this the wrong way
Don't interpret what I say in a negative light
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
You were aware of my true self and still accepted me
Only blue or black days
My days are either sad or desolate
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose
I search for ideal qualities in strangers I meet
Would things be easier if there was a right way?
Is there a simplified approach to love?
Honey, there is no right way
Love is complex and has no definite method
And so I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
I develop a slight infatuation every day
Every day with someone new
I encounter a different person each day
There's an art to life's distraction
Ability to avoid life's disturbing events
To somehow escape the burning wait
To elude the agony of waiting
The art of scraping through
Ability to barely make it through life
Some like to imagine
Some conceive in their minds
The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do
A touch from an unknown person would suffice for amusement
I wake at the first cringe of morning
I feel guilty very early in the morning
And my heart's already sinned
My heart has already committed an act of wrongdoing
How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha
Your love is genuine and untainted, Aretha
That you would pray for him
You would pray for his well-being
'Cause God knows I fall in love just a little, oh, a little bit
I fall in love a little bit every day, God knows
Love with every stranger, the stranger the better
I love every stranger, the stranger the better

I see so many comments about this song being about lonliness, but I think its about wordless human connection. Like when you pass by a cafe and see someone so engrossed in a book and you feel love for that person, even if you know nothing about them. You pass a woman with bright pink hair and a a grocery list scribbled on her arm and you feel love. Its random but its so human. Thats the feeling I get from this song.
@lindakirchof283
exactly, i agree<3
