Monteith had a troubled adolescence involving substance abuse from age 13, and left school at age 16. After an intervention by family and friends, he entered drug rehabilitation at age 19. In a 2011 interview with Parade magazine, he discussed his history of substance abuse as a teen, and in March 2013, he again sought treatment for addiction.

somebody to love
Cory Monteith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I spent all my years believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
[Repeat: x7]
(Find me somebody to love)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Somebody find me oh
Somebody find me
Somebody love
Somebody, somebody to love
In the song "Somebody To Love" by Cory Monteith, the lyrics express feelings of loneliness and desperation for a romantic partner. The opening line "Can anybody find me somebody to love?" is a plea for someone to fill the emptiness in the singer's life. The following lines describe the everyday struggle of feeling unhappy and unfulfilled, as the singer wakes up feeling as though a little part of them dies each morning. They feel defeated and trapped, as if in a prison cell, but still hold onto hope for a future with someone to love.
The repetition of the chorus "Somebody, oh somebody, can anybody find me somebody to love?" emphasizes the singer's longing and desire for a companion. The lyrics "Got no feel, I got no rhythm, I just keep losing my beat" suggest a lack of purpose or direction in the singer's life without a significant other. The overall theme of the song is the universal human need for love and connection, and the emotional toll that can be taken when that need is not met.

Finn/ Cory brought life and a spark to this show. Glee has never been the same without him. He was so inspiring and so talented it's a shame he died such a talented guy we all miss him. RIP Cory
