Some People
Fra Lippo Lippi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some people even think they own you, too
Some people like to think they know it all
Some people just don't see it when they fall
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Sometimes I want to to scream and shout at you
Sometimes I want to sing my joy to you
Sometimes I want to leave it all behind
Sometimes I don't know where to start at all
No, so tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no sun in your sky
Tell me why, tell me why
There's no love in your eyes...
The song "Some People" by Fra Lippo Lippi speaks about relationships where one person is willing to do anything for the other, but the other person takes advantage of that devotion. The opening lines, "Some people will do anything for you, some people even think they own you, too" indicates that some people may have a sense of power and control over others. The second verse, "sometimes I want to scream and shout at you, sometimes I want to sing my joy to you" suggests a conflicted relationship where the singer might be struggling with how to express his emotions to the other person. The song seems like a conversation of a relationship that is beyond repair.
The chorus of the song, "Tell me why, tell me why, there's no sun in your sky, tell me why, tell me why, there's no love in your eyes" is a direct plea to the other person to explain why their relationship is lacking love, passion and positivity. The repetition of "tell me why" highlights the feeling of confusion, uncertainty and desperation the singer feels in not getting the answers he is searching for.
Overall, "Some People" is a poignant song about a relationship that is unbalanced, unfair and devoid of love. The singer is searching for answers, but it seems that his/her relationship is beyond repair.
