Like Someone in Love
Chris Neville 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,
Chris Neville's song, Like Someone in Love, is a mesmerizing piece about the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The first verse explores the feeling of being lost in thought while being lost in the beauty of the stars. The use of the word "gazing" evokes a sense of intense admiration and awe, while listening to guitars gives the feeling of serenity that comes with being in love. The second verse delves deeper into the idea of being amazed by one's actions. Being around someone who you deeply care for has a profound effect on you, as it makes you act differently, and this is represented through the line "Mostly whenever you're around me".
The final verse explores the intense feeling of love that takes over one's entire being, leaving them feeling helpless and vulnerable. The use of similes such as "I'm limp as a glove" and "like someone in love" effectively encapsulates the idea of being powerless and vulnerable when in love. Overall, the song expresses the idea of being in love as a powerful and transforming experience.
