Give Me Something
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got to give me somethin'
Deep in my heart
You see your injection
To my direction
It's coming strong
But not for long
But what you want, here, it's not for show
Though you're looking good and smelling hot
It's not enough to feel the power
So if you want what I got
You've got to give me somethin'
That hits us for
Deep in my heart we both know that it's true
The lyrics of David Guetta's "Give Me Something" express the need for something substantial in a relationship or interaction. The chorus is the central message of the song, where Guetta demands that the other person gives him something meaningful. The use of the phrase "deep in my heart" emphasizes the importance of the need for substance in the relationship rather than just superficial aspects. The first lines of the verse describe the alluring nature of the other person's attraction towards Guetta, but he acknowledges that it is only temporary and not fulfilling.
The following lines mention having the power to let the other person know what he wants, but his needs are not just a show. Guetta emphasizes the importance of looking and smelling good and feeling powerful, but ultimately, that is not enough. The last two lines of the chorus suggest a mutual understanding between Guetta and the other person that true connection requires more than just temporary attraction or superficial aspects.
Overall, the song's lyrics convey that meaningful connections require substance, which goes beyond surface-level attraction.

Fernando Colandrea
Throw me a line, feel like I'm drownin'
Summertime never felt so cold
Tryna survive in this ocean without you, oh
Give me somethin' to hold on to
Can't be in this love without you
Come and save me like you used to
Give me somethin', give me somethin'
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin', give me somethin'
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin' to hold on to
Give me somethin' to hold on to
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin', give me somethin'
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin' to hold on to
Don't say goodbye now that I found you
Love in your eyes, never seen you so cold
Tryna survive in this moment without you, oh
Give me somethin' to hold on to (hold on)
Can't be in this love without you
Come and save me like you used to (oh, like you used to)
Give me somethin', give me somethin' (oh)
Give me somethin', give me somethin'
Give me somethin' to hold on to
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin', give me somethin'
Oh, I need you
Give me somethin' to hold on to
