Nobody Like You
Echobelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
I'd like to have more,
In control, I've lost it,
I'd like to try it again,
It warms inside me,
We're moving one step closer each time.
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.
We fall, slow motion,
I taste your breath in my veins,
Like waves, vibrations,
It's coming up again,
Let me climb inside you,
Caress your fever tongue,
Spread my wings around you,
And we can slide.
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.
I've always craved,
I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave,
You've shown me secrets I've not forgotten,
I'll give you all the love that I take,
That I take.
Inside it harbors,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
We're moving one step closer each time.
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway.
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh.
The lyrics to Echobelly's song "Nobody Like You" represent a desire for connection and intimacy. The singer expresses their longing for more with lines like "So near I'm hungry" and "I'd like to have more." They also acknowledge a loss of control but express a willingness to try again - "In control, I've lost it, I'd like to try it again, It warms inside me, We're moving one step closer each time." The chorus emphasizes the uniqueness of the person they're singing to, highlighting the fact that there is "Nobody like you" and "Nobody can touch you."
The second stanza further explores the physical and emotional connection the singer feels - "I taste your breath in my veins, Like waves, vibrations" and "Let me climb inside you, Caress your fever tongue." The use of sensory language and metaphors (waves, feathers) adds to the intimacy conveyed in the song. The bridge reveals a past struggle of feeling empty and craving connection but that the person they are with has shown them "secrets" they won't forget. The final repetition of "There's nobody like you" reinforces the idea that the connection they share is unique and special.
Overall, "Nobody Like You" presents a powerful and relatable experience of desiring deep connection and the unique nature of finding someone who fits that need.
