Someone Like You
Cafe Del Mar Vol. 12 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lies you’re preaching are nothing new
Your taste is precious
But your heart is growing cold again
The spell is tempting but your wishes seem to fold again
(Your wishes seem to fold again)
I’ve always wanted someone like you
You disappoint me, I see right through
How can I love if I hate all of you?
You speak your visions, I see right through
Your false intentions, far from the truth
Your taste is precious
But your heart is growing cold again
The spell is tempting but your wishes seem to fold again
(Your wishes seem to fold again)
I’ve always wanted someone like you
How can I love if I hate all of you?
You disappoint me, I see right through
How can I love if I hate all of you?
My heart is coming down now
But I’m not starting over
I can’t wait a moment longer
I’ve done the best I can
I’ve always wanted someone like you
How can I love if I hate all of you?
You disappoint me, I see right through
How can I love if I hate all of you?
The lyrics of "Someone Like You" by Cafe Del Mar Vol. 12 are about disappointment in a person who is not the real self and is dishonest in their words and actions. The mask you're wearing is hardly you and the lies you're preaching are nothing new. The person who the songwriter is referring to is pretending to be someone they are not, and their actions are not new or innovative. Although their taste is excellent, their heart is growing cold again, and the spell is tempting but ultimately falls through.
The chorus suggests that the songwriter has always wanted someone like the person they are referring to but is conflicted as they hate all of them. The false intentions of this person are far from the truth, and the songwriter sees right through them. Although they speak their visions, the songwriter sees through their lies and pretentiousness.
The bridge reveals the songwriter's frustration with the situation, as they cannot wait a moment longer and have done the best they can. They have emotionally invested in this person they are talking about and have given them time, energy and resources, but it's not been working out.
Overall, "Someone Like You" describes the disappointment of investing in a person who is not genuine, their heart is cold, and their intentions are false. While they can shape their exterior with taste, the person has lost their essence, and the songwriter is struggling to fall in love with someone they hate.
