Like Someone in Love
Björk/Martin Björk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately
I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars
Like someone in love

Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately
I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things
Like someone in love
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately
I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things
Like someone in love

Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

Like someone in love
Like someone in love

Overall Meaning

"Like Someone in Love" by Björk/Martin Björk captures the feelings of being infatuated and completely consumed by love. The lyrics convey a sense of enchantment and awe when in the presence of the person they love. The singer describes themselves as being mesmerized by the stars and hearing guitars, which symbolize the romance and magic they are experiencing. It signifies a state of being captivated by their feelings, as if they are under a spell.

The lyrics also highlight the clumsiness and vulnerability that love can bring. The singer feels like they are walking with wings, symbolizing the excitement and lightness of being in love. However, they also find themselves bumping into things, reflecting the distraction and lack of focus that can occur when love takes over their mind and thoughts.

The repetition of the line "Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove" emphasizes the intense emotional impact of seeing the person they love. It portrays a sense of weakness and surrender, as if their emotions leave them powerless and defenseless. Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of being completely swept away by love, where everyday actions become extraordinary and the mere presence of the loved one leaves them in a state of awe.
