Burke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange, a real mystery.
Maybe you see it.
If you do see it
What on earth can it be?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had 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.
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 had 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.
The lyrics to Burke's song Like Someone in Love capture the feeling of being enamored with someone to the point where everything else around you fades away. The singer is experiencing a change in themselves and they are perplexed by it. They are unsure why they are feeling the way they are, and they are hoping the person they are in love with can offer some insight. The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the emotional state of the singer. The reference to gazing at stars and hearing guitars seems to symbolize the dreamy, romantic quality of their feelings. The singer also notes that they are occasionally astounded by their own behavior when they are around the object of their affection.
The use of similes and metaphors in the song further underline the intensity of the singer's emotions. The comparison of walking with wings and bumping into things to convey the idea that the singer is feeling a bit unsteady and unable to control themselves when they are near the person they love. The use of the image of a limp glove when the singer looks at their love interest conveys a sense of vulnerability and surrender.
