Something Real
Code Of Ethics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day changes,
Faces and phases
Nothing stays the same
A new day arises
Bringing Surprises
And all I have to say is...

When you say that you'll
Hold me, never let go of me
Hen I'll be
Your voice in the dark
When you say that you want
Me, and I need to be wanted
We all need love

Chorus
Something special,
Something real
Way down deep
In my soul
Something special,
Something real
This is all I ask

Watching the changes,
Turning the pages
That make me love you more
Each situation I get myself in
You're always by my side

When you promise to hold
Me, never let go of me
Then I'll be
Your voice in the dark
'Cause you say that you want
Me, and I need to be wanted
We all need love

Repeat Chorus

When you say that you'll
Hold me, never let go of me
Then I'll be
Your voice in the dark
'Cause you day that you want
Me, and I need to be wanted
We all need love

Chorus ii
Something special,
Something real,
Way down deep
In my soul
Something special,
Something real
This is all I ask for





Repeat Chorus ii

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Code of Ethics' "Something Real" explore the idea that life is constantly changing, but love is something that remains consistent and allows us to feel grounded. The opening lines of "Every day changes, faces and phases, nothing stays the same, a new day arises, bringing surprises" illustrate this concept, highlighting the ever-changing nature of our lives. However, despite this, the singer still requests "something special, something real way down deep in my soul," which suggests a craving for depth and permanence in their experience with love.


The chorus emphasizes the need for love and intimacy in a relationship, indicating that it is a crucial factor that connects us together. The sentiment is reinforced in the second verse, with lines like "watching the changes, turning the pages that make me love you more," suggesting that love can grow and evolve over time, and that it is a force that can withstand the fluctuations of life. The repetition of phrases like "when you say that you want me, and I need to be wanted" emphasizes how important it is to feel desired and loved in a relationship.
