Someone to Love
C. Gritz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of C. Gritz's song Someone To Love is a beautiful representation of the feeling of being in love. The first verse expresses the sense of wonderment that love can bring, as the singer finds themselves drifting off and gazing at the stars while hearing guitars playing in the background. This is a peaceful and dreamy state of being, where the world around them fades away and they are lost in the beauty of the moment. The second verse alludes to the fact that the singer is not always in control of their actions when they are in love. They feel as though they are acting out of character and being surprised by their own behavior. Perhaps this is due to the overwhelming nature of love that can cause one to do things they would never do otherwise.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it relates to the physical sensations of being in love. The idea that one feels "limp as a glove" when in the presence of the person they love is a powerful metaphor, conveying that love can cause a loss of control over oneself. The final line of the chorus, "feeling like someone in love" implies that being in love is a state of being, rather than just an emotion. It takes over the whole person, causing them to feel like they are different than they were before.
