Like Someone in Love
George Robert & Metropole Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
The first verse of "Like Someone in Love" explores the singer's state of mind and emotions. The act of gazing at stars and hearing guitars suggests that the singer is lost in their own world, mesmerized by the beauty and romance that surrounds them. This imagery creates a dreamy and whimsical atmosphere, evoking feelings of love and wonder. It signifies that the singer is deeply enamored and experiences a heightened sensitivity to their surroundings.
The second verse delves into the singer's astonishment at how they behave when the person they love is present. They admit that their actions sometimes surprise them, implying that love has the power to alter their behavior. This could hint at feelings of vulnerability and the way love can make someone feel like they are not entirely in control. The presence of the loved one affects the singer on a profound level, revealing a deep connection and emotional impact.
The third verse describes how the singer's physical movements become affected by love. The use of the phrase "walk as though I had wings" depicts a sensation of weightlessness and euphoria. This line suggests that the singer feels a sense of freedom and joy when in the presence of their beloved. However, it also conveys a certain clumsiness by stating that they bump into things, symbolizing how love can sometimes make someone feel disoriented or lost in their own feelings.
The final lines of the song emphasize the intense effect the loved one has on the singer. Looking at them renders the singer weak and defenseless, as portrayed through the simile "I'm limp as a glove." This serves to highlight the vulnerability and surrender that love can bring. The overall sentiment expressed is that being in love has completely consumed the singer's thoughts, emotions, and movements, leaving them feeling utterly captivated and overwhelmed by the experience. The song captures the transformative power of love, illustrating how it can inspire and change people in profound ways.
