Some People
'a' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah, you'll go to hell, some people round here say.
It's a right of passage, Its the right to do some (secur...?....)
(...?...) shut up, get off your excuses.
Some people, some people
Some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
Some people wanna die.
Pray for yourself, no one else, don't be slaved.
You stand and miss who you're killin', you hypocrites don't (...?...)
Stand up for yourself you're the human (... Kind...) ?
Some people, some people
Some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
Some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
Some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
Some people wanna die.
Some people, some people
Some people find help in their god.
Some people, some people
Some people wanna die.... Oh.
The lyrics to "Some People" by a are quite introspective and contemplative. The first line, "I can do despair myself, I don't need anyone to tell me" speaks to the idea that one can experience feelings of hopelessness and sadness without the need for external validation or advice. The second line, "Ah, you'll go to hell, some people round here say" can be interpreted in a religious context, where some believe that those who experience despair or suicidal thoughts will be punished in the afterlife. This line may also speak to the stigma surrounding mental health issues in society, where such struggles can be viewed as weak or sinful.
The following lines, "It's a right of passage, Its the right to do some (secur...?....)(...?...) shut up, get off your excuses" can be interpreted as a call to action to take responsibility for one's own mental health and to not use excuses for one's actions or inaction. The chorus repeats the lines "Some people find help in their god" and "Some people wanna die" multiple times, emphasizing the varying ways in which people cope with feelings of despair and thoughts of suicide.
The final lines, "Pray for yourself, no one else, don't be slaved. You stand and miss who you're killin', you hypocrites don't (...?...) Stand up for yourself you're the human (... Kind...) ?" encourage individual agency and taking control of one's own life. The song ultimately speaks to the complex and individual experiences of mental health struggles and the need for self-care and support.

My deceased aunt loved to hear me sing this song. When I got married, she had me sing this to my husband. We are 23 years in and I still feel this song in my heart for him. My day is complete to hear him say he loves me on his way to work and talk my ear off when he comes home after work. ❤❤️😍
