Bridgit Mendler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm right here
Can you listen?
'Cause I've been trying to make you notice
What it would mean to me
To feel like somebody
We've been on our way to nowhere
Tryin' so hard to get there
And I say, oh
We're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try to make it come alive
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody, yeah (somebody)
Somehow
Someday
Someway
Somebody
I'm so tired
Of being invisible
But I feel it, yeah
Like a fire below the surface
Trying to set me free
Burnin' inside of me
'Cause we're standing on the edge now
It's a long way down
But I say
Oh, we're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try to make it come alive
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody, yeah (somebody)
Somehow
Someday
Someway
Somebody
We will walk out of this darkness
Feel the spotlight glowing like a yellow sun
Oh oh oh oh oh and when we fall we fall together
Till we get back up and we will rise as one, oh, oh ,oh
Oh, we're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try to make it come alive
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody, yeah (somebody)
Somehow
Someday
Someway
Somebody
Somebody
Ooh ohh oh
The lyrics of Bridgit Mendler’s song “Somebody” are centered around invisibility and wanting to be seen and heard by others. Mendler starts by asking if the person can see and listen to her, indicating a desire to be noticed. She talks of the importance of feeling like somebody, suggesting that she feels unseen and unheard. Mendler also mentions trying hard to get somewhere but feels like she is on the way to nowhere.
In the chorus, Mendler resolves to let go of everything that is holding her back, including the fear of failure, in order to make her dreams come true. She urges the listener to do the same, saying that they were meant to be somebody. Despite being on the edge and feeling like they are falling, Mendler claims that they will walk out of darkness and rise together in the spotlight.
The song ultimately encourages listeners to be themselves and not hide from the world. Mendler’s message of stepping out of the shadows and embracing their authentic selves is an uplifting one that anyone can relate to.
