Like Someone in Love
Herman Foster Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
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,

And feeling like someone in love.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Herman Foster's song Like Someone in Love describe the feeling of being in love and the effect this has on the person experiencing it. The opening line "Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The imagery of gazing at stars and hearing guitars highlights the dreamy nature of being in love. The next line "Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me" highlights how being in love can make a person act in unexpected ways. The presence of the person they love has a profound impact on them, and they feel like they are in a state of awe.

The following lines "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, and feeling like someone in love" continue to emphasise how being in love is affecting the person. The feeling of walking with wings suggests that the person is feeling light and free, and even clumsy actions such as bumping into things do not seem to bother them. The line "I'm limp as a glove" suggests that the person feels powerless when they are around the person they love.
