Someone Like You
Étienne de Crécy & Camille Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm looking for someone like you
My eyes are red
My body's blue
I'm looking for someone like you
As cruel said
And as untrue
And as untrue
My breath is pink

My knees are black
My moon is green
My mood is back
I'm looking for someone like you
I'm looking for someone a star
My love is brown
My blood is white
I'm colorblind
You're out of sight
I'm looking for someone like you
As cruel said
And as untrue
And as untrue
I'm looking for someone like you
As cruel said

And as untrue
And as untrue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Etienne De Crecy (SuperDiscount2) Feat. Camille's song Someone Like You can be interpreted as a search for a love that is just as contradictory and complex as the singer's own emotions. The first verse describes the singer's physical state - red eyes and a blue body, which could symbolize exhaustion and sadness. The second verse mentions colors, but with an unusual mix - pink breath, black knees, green moon, brown love, and white blood. This suggests that the singer sees the world in an unconventional way and is perhaps struggling to fit in or find someone who understands them.

The chorus repeats the line "I'm looking for someone like you" but adds the phrase "As cruel said and as untrue." This implies that the singer is aware that the perfect partner they are searching for may not even exist, or may be a figment of their imagination. The repetition of "and as untrue" at the end of each chorus underlines this ambiguity and the singer's sense of longing for something unattainable.
