Someone
Dear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You come around late at night, the clock is telling me 12:25
A pillow on my spine, to make you feel near
A shadow on the wall, but I know you're not here
Light through the curtains is a tiring thing
I wish I did but I don't, remember my dreams
A soft sound in my head, that nobody knows
I'll close my eyes till morning shows
Don't know your name
I can't picture it, I love you to death
Wishing your way
I've got a tongue tied knot, I'm wishing your way
Can't feel your embrace
I've got shoes that fit, I'm wearing them thin
Touching your face
I'm missing someone, someone I don't even know

Everybody has got someone real
But for me it's been awhile, well over a year
I'll go throughout my day, you're always right there
Did I pass you by? Or was that a scare?
Onto the next day, it goes round and round
I can only image, I wanna be found
A blank stare into nothing, is all I can give
If you come real close, you might hear a sound

Don't know your name
I can't picture it, I love you to death
Wishing your way
I've got a tongue-tied knot, I'm wishing your way
Can't feel your embrace
I've got shoes that fit, I'm wearing them thin
Touching your face
I'm missing someone, someone I don't even know

Romanticizing the west coast
I'll run away to find you
Singing in the car to finish this tune
I'll have a drink or two
If I'm honest I like it
Always been on my own
I'll disregard it
Till I've found someone I don't know

Don't know your name
I can't picture it, I love you to death
Wishing your way
I've got a tongue-tied knot, I'm wishing your way
Can't feel your embrace
I've got shoes that fit, I'm wearing them thin
Touching your face
I'm missing someone, someone I don't even know

Don't know your name
I can't picture it, I love you to death
Wishing your way
I've got a tongue tied knot, I'm wishing your way
Can't feel your embrace
I've got shoes that fit, I'm wearing them thin
Touching your face
I'm missing someone, someone I don't even know




Someone I don't even know
Someone I don't even know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dear's song Someone describe the yearning for an unknown person the singer believes they are missing from their life. They are alone in bed at night, feeling the absence of this person, wishing they were beside them. Despite not knowing their name, appearance or anything else about them, the singer love this person to death. The longing is so strong that the singer closes their eyes to make it feel as if this person is near. They feel a soft sound in their head that no one else knows, suggesting that the missing person might only exist in their head.


The singer reflects on how everyone else seems to have found their person, while they are still searching. They question whether they may have passed this person by or missed their opportunity to meet them. The singer seems to be holding onto the idea that they will find this person someday, as they romanticize the west coast and imagine running away to find them.


The lyrics of this song are an attempt to convey the feeling of loneliness and longing for someone who is unknown. The singer's yearning for this person is so strong that they are willing to imagine an entire relationship with them without knowing anything about them. They want to find a connection with someone who could complete them.

I'll have a drink or two
I try to numb the pain and loneliness with alcohol, but it never really helps.


If I'm honest I like it
Even though it hurts to be so lonely, there's something addictive about the feeling - perhaps it's the sense of drama and intensity that comes with yearning for someone you've never met.


Always been on my own
I've always felt like an outsider, unable to connect with others in a meaningful way.


I'll disregard it
I try to pretend that it doesn't bother me, that I don't really need anyone else in my life, but deep down I know that I'm lying to myself.


Till I've found someone I don't know
I'll keep searching for you, even though I don't know who you are or where to look for you - I just have to keep going until I find you.


Someone I don't even know
Someone who is not even a real person to me yet, just a vague hope and a dream that keeps me going.

I can't stop thinking
What you said to me
要我獨自承受
Now I'm just sad 已不需要
重新的心跳 自問亦未能夠
Do I have a chance to call you baby
電影院的票 現在尚存在
At the same time I know you've left me
already with someone
I'm still into you, maybe you too
But now you've moved on, good for you
I know you should
Although you are not by my side
Maybe 這是最好 給我的安排
Remember getting your message
at three o'clock in the morning
先知想我反省
But I refuse to talk
And I,m fucked up 導致既爭執
In the end, I just wanna wish you all the best my baby
I can't stop thinking
What you said to me
要我獨自承受
Now I'm just sad 已不需要
重新的心跳 自問亦未能夠
Do I have a chance to call you baby
電影院的票 現在尚存在
At the same time I know you've left me already with someone
💔
Everything I do is for you
Please believe that it's ture
在心底最深處 原來還是眷戀
I love you 3000
彼此的心上了鎖 怎麼抽身
再一次叫我放手 But i don't want to miss
從前心跳按鈕 This time please follow me
I promise you I'll be better
where are you right now
Don't leave me this time
I will be better
