Sometimes
Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey there people here I come
Step the side, Donkeyboys ain't what you want
But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
If you don't, than you and I won't get along
But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights.
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
All these thoughts come too my head
But sometimes, I need somebody who can make me feel
Alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
I need somebody who can make me feel alright,
And shades me from the streetlights
I'm breaking up, I need someone who needs somebody now
Make me feel alright.
The opening lyrics of Donkeyboy's song "Sometimes" are straightforward, stating that the singer is coming to make an entrance, but warns people to move aside because their music might not be everyone's cup of tea. The song is about the feeling of wanting someone to make you feel okay, to protect you from the harsh elements of everyday life. The lyrics stress that people change because of who the singer is, and if someone doesn't, they will not get along. This can be interpreted as a reflection on how the singer perceives themselves and their reputation, and those who cannot accept them for who they are or change with them, will not be able to maintain a relationship.
The chorus talks about the moments when the singer needs someone who can make them feel alright and take them away from the ugliness of the world we live in. They express a yearning for comfort and companionship in those times. The repeated lyrics "I need someone who needs somebody now" highlight the importance of reciprocation in a relationship. The bridge talks about how the singer has various thoughts popping into their head, creating turmoil and confusion, but they still want someone by their side to make them feel okay.
Overall, the song "Sometimes" by Donkeyboys is a reflection on the human desire for companionship and comfort. The lyrics touch upon the importance of accepting oneself and finding someone who can make you feel alright despite the harshness of the world we live in.
