Something
Hazel O'Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bonded in this motion of moving in time
Feeling of intention, heart beating on mine
Turning even closer letting the world fade away
I am lost in this very moment, lost in this state of grace
Feel it with my body
Feel it with my heart
And in my mind I don't know
It's coming like a rumour, hear it in my head
Coming like a rumour, coming calling through the air
Feel it with my body
Feel it with my soul
Feel it with my heart
And in my mind I don't know
I think it's something to do with us,
I think it's something to do with everything and everybody
And the universe
I think it's something to do with love
Burning with emotion, now you're stroking my face
I am holding onto caution, the hour is late
Dancing nearly over, where do we take it from here?
I am needing some indication, whisper it softly in my ear
Say it to my body
Say it tomy soul
Say it to my heart
Say it to my mind so I'll know
Say it like a lover, say it in the tone
Calling like a lover, coming calling through on the phone
I think it's something to do with us,
I think it's something to do with everything and everybody
And the universe
I think it's something to do with love
Feel it with my body
Feel it with my soul
Feel it with my heart
And in my mind I don't know
It's something like a rumour, hear it in my head
Coming like a rumour, coming calling through the air
I think it's something to do with us,
I think it's something to do with everything and everybody
And the universe
I think it's something to do with love
The song "Something" by Hazel O'Connor is a romantic love song. The first verse describes the feeling of two people bonded together by their movements and intentions. The singer is lost in the moment, feeling the love with their body, soul, and mind. There is a sense of anticipation and excitement, with a feeling of something coming or building up.
As the song progresses, the singer is encouraged by their partner's touch and is hesitant to let caution take over. The dance that they are experiencing is nearly over, and the singer seeks indication about where to take their love from here. They want to hear their partner say what they feel, and to do so like a lover would.
The chorus is repeatedly sung and provides the central theme of the song. The singer believes that the feeling they are experiencing is something to do with love. They cannot quite put their finger on it, but it is a feeling that encompasses everything and everyone in the universe. The use of the word ‘rumour’ heightens the feeling of something big, something coming that they don't quite understand, but it is something that they cannot ignore.
