1) A is a British alternative rock band.
2) A [γ¨γΌγΉ] is a Japanese visual rock band
British alternative rock band:
They formed in 1995 in Suffolk, England. The original line up was the three brothers: Jason Perry (Vocals), Adam Perry (Drums) and Giles Perry (Keyboard), with two friends Mark Chapman (Guitar) and Steve Swindon (Bass). Swindon quit the band in 1997 and was replaced by Daniel P. Carter.
After changing their name from 'Grand Designs' and abandoning their early progressive-inspired sound for a more punky feel, they released their dΓ©but album "How Ace Are Buildings" in 1997.
The second album; "A vs. Monkey Kong", followed in 1999. Monkey Kong was a more poppy record than How Ace Are Buildings and the band toured the world, played festivals and enjoyed a small degree of success worldwide, especially in Germany.
Hi-Fi Serious was their third album, released in 2002. It was preceded by their biggest single to date, "Nothing", which saw the band reach the UK top ten for the first time, eventually hitting number 9. Starbucks was also a top 20 hit, named after the coffee chain.
The tour following Hi-Fi Serious saw the band playing their largest venues to date, headlining the 5000 capacity Brixton Academy as part of the Inner-City Sumo Tour. 'A' finally released their fourth album on June 27th 2005, entitled "Teen Dance Ordinance". The album had been recorded 2 years earlier, but due to Jason Perry's illness and record company squabbles its release was heavily delayed, by which time the group's following appears to be a mere cult once again. In 2006, Warner dropped 'A' from their record label, citing poor sales.
'A' then went on hiatus from 2006-2008, but have now returned, playing a few shows supporting The Wildhearts. They will be writing new material and hope to release an album in 2009. With this new era for the band the lineup has changed with bassist Daniel P. Carter not returning to the band and has been replaced by John Mitchell of It Bites.
Japanese visual rock band :
consisting of Shin-ichi on vocals, Seiya on bass, U-SUKE and MORI on guitar, and TΕki on drums.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you never go out for a ride, you keep them indoors
you got a big big mouth
a big big house
your the king of cribs right now*
a real big hit
no hard shit
i swear that wont change me one bit!
cause i.. wish i was someone else...
anybody else..
so maybe you might talk to me.
cause i wish i was not myself
anybody else..
then maybe you might notice me
the world will still go on without you
the newspapers still talk about you
and if your ever low
pick up the phone
i'll be round don't tell a soul
cause im not you
you're bullet proof
i'm in a crowd and i can't move
cause i.. wish i was someone else...
anybody else..
so maybe you might talk to me.
cause i wish i was not myself
anybody else..
then maybe you might notice me
let me in, let me in
gimme the sunshine all year round
lemme out, lemme out
gimme it now
hear me out, hear me shout
gimme the munchies , show me around
lemme out, lemme out
gimme the reason
gimme it now
yeah yeah yeah...

The song "Someone Else" by A is about feeling inferior to someone who appears to have it all. The lyrics question how many of the cars on the person's driveway actually belong to them, suggesting that they have everything and don't even use it. They have a "big big mouth" and "big big house," making them the "king of cribs right now," but the singer is not impressed. Their success is "no hard shit," and it won't change the singer one bit. Despite this, they wish they were someone else, anybody else, just so the person would talk to them and notice them. The world might go on without them, and the newspapers might still talk about them, but to the singer, they are unapproachable and intimidating.
The chorus repeats the desire to be someone else, anyone else, so that the person might talk to them and notice them. The singer would do anything to be someone else and escape their own life of feeling invisible, stuck in a crowd, and unable to move. They just want to be let out, let in, given sunshine, shown around, and given a reason. The outro repeats the "big big house" and "big big mouth" lines, acknowledging that the person's wealth and bravado are not helpful in this situation.
Overall, "Someone Else" captures the feeling of being starstruck or intimidated by someone who appears to have it all. The desire to be someone else is a common theme in pop culture, where people often compare themselves to others and wish they were more successful, attractive, wealthy, or popular. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it easy to sing along to, but the underlying message is one of insecurity and longing.

LYRICS
I know that you're hiding something from me
That's been close to your heart
And I felt it creeping up everyday
Baby, right from the start
I know that look you give when we're fighting
We're fighting
'Cause I used to be the one who was lying, oh lying
Oh, is there someone else or not?
'Cause I wanna keep you close
I don't wanna lose my spot
'Cause I need to know
If you're hurting him, or you're hurting me
If I ain't with you, I don't wanna be
Is there someone else or not?
Ooh, or not
I don't deserve someone loyal to me
Don't you think I see
And I don't want to be a prisoner to who I used to be
I swear I changed my ways for the better, the better
'Cause I wanna be with you forever, forever
Oh, is there someone else or not?
'Cause I wanna keep you close
I don't wanna lose my spot
'Cause I need to know
If you're hurting him, or you're hurting me
If I ain't with you, I don't wanna be
Is there someone else or not?
Ooh, or not.

Oh, lying

Oh, is there someone else or not?
'Cause I wanna keep you close

If you're hurting him, or you're hurting me
If I ain't with you, I don't wanna be
Is there someone else or not?
Oh, or not

@Cinderrella
Seen him 3 times live now. He sounds exactly like this in concert. He's awesome. Now my son is obsessed just like I have been since 2013. π
@CJTranceAddiction
Agreed!!! I'm glad someone else fucking thinks this way. I think this is by far the best song he's ever released to date. Of course the one's that truly do it for me are the one's that don't get to #1 or even on the top 10 lol.
What's up with the mainstream???
