'Cause inside my head's always a mess
And I get too easily obsessed
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone
My heart exists inside my room
It's so hard to leave here without you
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone like
I notice I've been distant; there's a lot that's on my mind
And I know that I should fix it but I haven't got the time
And so I'll find another reason for my emotional decline
Because the way that I've been feeling has been no one's fault but mine
'Cause inside my head's always a mess
And I get too easily obsessed
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone
My heart exists inside my room
It's so hard to leave here without you
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone like
Just stop me like a barricade
Lay down let's both become a serenade
(Because I'm terrified)
It felt so true
Like you were everything
But never dropped the loss
And now I'm way too deep
Blood drips like cherries down my lips
Sharpen your teeth and say you miss me
Let's love unless never loved me
Say it back, or else I'll end up 6 feet
And if I end up six feet
Don't you try and say you miss me
Because the reason why I'm this deep
Is the way you up and left
They say that young love ain't the real thing
Now I'm twenty something, still got that feeling
That I would fucking die to be in your arms
I guess that only time can heal a broken heart
'Cause inside my head's always a mess
And I get too easily obsessed
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone
My heart exists inside my room
It's so hard to leave here without you
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone like you
Or else I'll end up six feet
Don't you try to say you miss me
'Cause I remember when you kissed me
I could tell there's nothing left
Like blood stains, you're ingrained in my head
Your love changed, you left pains in my chest




My hearts drained, you missed out on my best
Yeah, but that's your misfortune

Overall Meaning

The song 'Someone Like' by Braden Ross is an introspective and emotional track about the singer's internal struggles and desire to become someone better. The lyrics talk about how Ross's mind is always in a state of disarray and how he tends to fixate on things easily. He wishes to be someone who is more put-together and able to handle life in a more effective manner. He talks about his heart being confined to his room, indicating that he has been feeling lonely or isolated. There is a reference to a past relationship, where Ross was deeply invested, but it ended in heartbreak, and he is still struggling to move on. The lyrics "Just stop me like a barricade, lay down let's both become a serenade" give the feeling that he is looking for comfort and someone who can help him find peace.


The lines "Blood drips like cherries down my lips, sharpen your teeth and say you miss me" are powerful and depict emotional pain and desperation. He is asking his former love to acknowledge what she has done to him or take accountability for the emotional turmoil he is experiencing. He's afraid of getting hurt again, leading to the lines "Say it back, or else I'll end up 6 feet, and if I end up six feet, don't you try and say you miss me." These lines evoke a sense of despair and disillusionment. The song's meaning is that sometimes it's hard to move on from things, and the memories of past relationships, grief, and pain can have a lingering impact on us.

Cause inside my head’s always a mess
And I get too easily obsessed
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone
My heart exists inside my room
It’s so hard to leave here without you
But I just wanna be someone
I just wish that I could be someone like

I notice I’ve been distant; there’s a lot that’s on my mind
(And) I know that I should fix it but I haven’t got the time
And so I’ll find another reason for my emotional decline
Because the way that I’ve been feeling has been no one’s fault but mine

Just stop me like a barricade
Lay down let's both become a serenade
(Because I'm terrified)
It felt so true
Like you were everything
But never dropped the loss
And now I'm way too deep
Blood drips like cherries down my lips
Sharpen your teeth and say you miss me
Let's love unless you never loved me
Say it back, or else I'll end up 6 feet

If I end up six feet
Don’t you try and say you miss me
Because the reason why I’m this deep
Is the way you up and left
They say that young love ain’t the real thing
Now I’m twenty something, still got that feeling
That I would fucking die to be in your arms
I guess that only time can heal a broken heart

Or else I’ll end up six feet
Don’t you try to say you miss me
‘Cause I remember when you kissed me
I could tell there’s nothing left
Like blood stains, you’re ingrained in my head
Your love changed, you left pains in my chest
My hearts drained, you missed out on my best
Yeah, but that’s your misfortune
