Someone
Drew Monson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was somethin' in the room that I can chase somehow
Now we′re waitin' for a moment we don't know that well
And we′ll save some words for moments that are hard to tell
I miss someone, I don′t know them, but I'm closer now
With a hand to hold, I′ll wipe away my brain for now
Does it change it if I touch right here and move it down?
I can hear your fears, it's amazing, for now
I feel my brain come back and I′m closin' you out
Separation pains, I′ll depend on your crowd
Oh, oh
I miss somethin' from the start but I can't place it now
Both can sense in the room but there′s still touch allowed
Every time it feels distinct but it′s the same somehow
(?) monuments will soon become avoided, how
I can feel your brain, it's depending so loud
Watch you fall away and I′m closin' you out
(Oh, oh)
I′ve become I'm someone I don′t know that well, know that well
You're just a picture and a name and he's a dick somehow
Can he feel you with the door closed since we′re older now?
Who the fuck does that make me to even think about?
I can′t help but pass your house, I wanna leave this town
Or just distract myself with someone I don't know that well
Will it fade away for him or is it different now?
It doesn′t matter 'cause I love you or I hate myself
The lyrics to Drew Monson's song Someone delve into the confusing and complicated emotions of missing someone without even really knowing them well. The song starts by expressing the feeling of missing someone despite not having a strong connection or relationship with them. The lyrics suggest that there was something inexplicable in the air which drew them closer in proximity but not necessarily emotionally. They are waiting for a moment to happen without any clarity about what that moment may be. The song seems to revolve around a fascination with an individual but not having the words to express or communicate the feelings properly.
Musically, the song has a melancholic and dreamy feel to it with an airy synth and subtle beats. It is a sonically haunting melody that pairs perfectly with the lyrics, creating a somewhat dream-like state.

Regardless of the answer, the outcome is the same - I either love you or I hate myself for staying attached to you
