Like Someone in Love
Björk爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Björk’s cover of Like Someone In Love is a haunting, ethereal interpretation of the classic jazz standard. The lyrics depict the overwhelming feelings of infatuation and love that can make a person feel as though they are floating, and always looking to the stars for guidance. The song’s opening line “Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars” conveys the singer’s profound longing for the unnamed love interest. The use of the word “lately” also suggests that the singer has experienced a recent change in their emotional state, likely due to the presence of this person in their life.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that they are astounded by their own actions and feelings whenever the love interest is around. Even simple tasks like walking become difficult, as they seem to be weighed down by an overwhelming sense of adoration. The fact that the singer frequently bumps into things is not just a metaphor for their own clumsiness, but also an illustration of how love can be distracting and all-consuming. Despite these challenges, the singer still feels like they are “someone in love” whenever they are in the presence of the object of their affection.
Overall, Björk’s interpretation of Like Someone In Love captures the fragility and capriciousness of love, while also highlighting the transformative power that it can have on a person. The song’s dreamlike quality and Björk’s piercing vocals create a haunting, emotional landscape in which the listener can truly feel the depth of the singer’s emotions.

I find myself out gazing at stars
I catch myself staring at the stars outside
Hearing guitars
Listening to guitars playing
Like someone in love
As if I'm in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
At times, my actions surprise me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Especially when you're near me
Lately
Recently
I seem to walk as though I have wings
I walk with a light step
Bump into things
Accidentally collide with objects
Like someone in love
As if I'm in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
Whenever I gaze upon you, I become weak
And feeling like someone in love
And sensing the emotions of being in love

Dominos falling
Riot in the streets
Baby this time
There's no retreat
There's no surrender
A devil is rising
A shadow from the past
Feeding the flames with fire
On the edge of fury
All the time running in and out of time
Hear the ticking on the countdown clocks tonight
Go we need some, go we need some
Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
We need some
Action!
If we wanna take our love away from here
We need a
Living passion, to believe in
Burning hearts and a brand new feeling
Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
Crawling from the ashes
The Fenix rise again!
Fighting for life, for good
For all that we believe in
Go we need some, go we need some
Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
We need some
Action!
If we wanna take our love away from here
We need a
Living passion, to believe in
Burning hearts and a brand new feeling
Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
The hero stands alone
When all is said and done
The enemies are falling
One by one
All the time running in and out of time
Hear the ticking on the countdown clocks tonight
Go we need some, go we need some
Action! Yeeeah!
Action! Action!
Yeeah! Action! Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
We need some
Action! Action!
If we wanna take our love away from here
We need a
Living passion, to believe in
Burning hearts and a brand new feeling
Action! Action!
If we gonna make it like a true survivor
True Survivor!
Whooah!
True Survivor!
Oooh!
True Survivor!
@NewRetroWave
Now this is what we are talking about!! The Synthwave scene continues to WIN with Mitch Murder producing this EPIC record!
@djgizmoe
NewRetroWave Drive jumpstarted the scene. Blood Dragon and Hotline Miami kept it alive. Kung Fury appears to be taking it viral. Things are going to get interesting from here on in. Oh, and yeah, the movie looks like a "must-see" as well.
@TamasKalman
actually the retro-synthwave scene is pretty huge. just look around on bandcamp.
@djgizmoe
Yeah, it's hard to see where it could go from here. It IS very niche. I'm predicting it won't go Top 40, but will continue to be a "thing" (just as jazz and metal now exist in perpetuity) and be an influence on the next generation of musicians. Then, in 5 years time we'll have some new artists who will bring some crappy hybrid of it to the mainstream and other artists who will bring some awesome hybrid of it into cooler circles. Music is always mutating...
As for the scene already being huge, there certainly are a lot of releases (my hard drives are full of them), but it's still a relatively obscure genre.
@starstream5904
Jean-Paul DuQuette We just need more professional like Mitch Murder and we will get in the "top 5" one day!
@starstream5904
Jean-Paul DuQuette Jazz is prety popular if you look at David foster and Michael Bublé - Cry Me A River.
We just need some elite for the New wave scene and let it go!
@thatsbenkc
it's 2023, I still hope to have a sequel to this. 80s vibe!
@AndrosX92
Kung fury 2 is supposedly coming this year
@noctisluxus

@vickersfanxoxoxo
