Something
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're losing your faith in me
It's a car, it's a crash, it's a death, and you're scared
You just can't escape the scene
Hush now you're insane
Touch my skin, come back again
The sky is falling
It's something you cannot fake
This something you will not shake
Just walk away before I look at you
It's something only you can take
All your words, it's a lie to yourself, it's a home
There's so much that you can't see
It's a bomb that can kill everyone, and it blows
You can't even hear me scream
Hush now you're insane
Touch my skin, come back again
The sky is falling
It's something you cannot fake
This something you will not shake
Just walk away before I look at you
It's something only you can take
This is only feeling with no thought
Is this love?
What happened to the promises I bought?
Is this love?
Is this love?
It's something you cannot fake
This something you will not shake
Just walk away before I look at you
It's something only you can take
It's something only you can take
It's something only you can take
The lyrics of Cary Brothers's song "Something" convey a feeling of betrayal and confusion. The first verse suggests that the person the singer is addressing feels alone even if the singer is present, and that they are losing faith in the singer. The metaphor of a car crash is used to convey a sense of danger, powerlessness, and fear that the person involved can't escape from. The second verse continues the theme of something dangerous, this time comparing it to a bomb that can kill everyone, and emphasizes the person's inability to hear the singer's warning. The chorus emphasizes that the "something" referred to is something very personal and individual, that the person cannot fake or shake, but must face alone.
The bridge shifts the focus from the situation to the singer's feelings, asking whether what they are feeling is love, and questioning what happened to the promises made. This adds an element of sadness and remorse to the song, suggesting that the singer is not simply accusing the person, but also grappling with their own emotions.
