Someone
Jackie Minton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imagine that
How'd he even see me from all the way up there
Trading eyes and words from off-stage
I remember the way
He asked for my name
It's been months but I still think about him all the same
My momma she told me
Don't you go looking
Trying to find someone
To complete you
'Cause you're already done
Today has a purpose
And it's not waiting on someone
Caught up in the old game
Compare and explain
How you got to where you are now
Keep a list of who knows your name
Or they'll think you're insane
Since, it ain't about what you know
It just goes to show you
It's all about the show
But my momma she told me
Don't worry about their love
Don't you go looking
Trying to find someone
To complete you
'Cause you're already done
Today has a purpose
And it's not waiting on someone
Future this and future that
When all we've got is now in fact
There are those in front of you
That need your love more than you
Future this and future that
When all we've got is now in fact
There are those in front of you
That need your love more than you know
So why do I worry about my love
Why do I go searching trying to find someone
To complete me
When I'm already done
I'm done
I'm done
Waiting on someone
The lyrics of Jackie Minton's song "Someone" tell a story of longing and self-discovery. The singer describes a chance encounter with a mysterious person who caught their attention with their blue eyes and black hat. Despite the distance between them, the connection between the two individuals was strong, as they exchanged glances and words from off-stage. The memory of this encounter lingers in the singer's mind, even after months have passed.
The singer's mother offers valuable advice to not worry about finding love or seeking someone to complete them. The underlying message is that the singer is already whole and complete on their own. Instead of waiting for someone or searching for love, they should embrace and fulfill their own purpose in life. The song suggests that one's happiness and fulfillment should not depend on finding someone else to fill a void.
The lyrics also shed light on the concept of social validation and the pressure to be recognized and known by others. The singer is warned to keep a list of those who know their name or risk being seen as insane. This observation underscores how today's society often prioritizes external recognition and superficial connections over genuine relationships and personal growth.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the idea of living in the present and cherishing the relationships that are already in front of us. The future is emphasized as an abstraction, while the real value lies in the "now." The singer acknowledges that there are people who need their love and attention in the present moment, rather than losing themselves in the pursuit of future love.
The lyrics conclude with the singer questioning their own behavior, wondering why they worry about finding love and trying to complete themselves through someone else. In an empowering realization, they declare that they are already complete and done waiting for someone. The song offers a message of self-acceptance, encouraging listeners to focus on their own purpose and the love that exists in their lives, rather than seeking completion from external sources.

Blue eyes and black hat
He had captivating eyes and an intriguing presence
Imagine that
It's hard to believe
How'd he even see me from all the way up there
I wonder how he noticed me from a distance
Trading eyes and words from off-stage
We exchanged glances and spoke without being in the spotlight
I remember the way
His memory remains vivid in my mind
He asked for my name
He inquired about my identity
It's been months but I still think about him all the same
Even after months, he continues to occupy my thoughts
My momma she told me
My mother advised me
Don't worry about your love
Don't stress about finding love
Don't you go looking
Do not actively search
Trying to find someone
Attempting to discover a partner
To complete you
To fulfill you
'Cause you're already done
Because you are already whole
Today has a purpose
The present day holds significance
And it's not waiting on someone
And it doesn't rely on waiting for someone
Caught up in the old game
Engrossed in the same repetitive cycle
Compare and explain
Compare and justify
How you got to where you are now
How you reached your current state
Keep a list of who knows your name
Maintain a record of those who are familiar with you
Or they'll think you're insane
Or else they will view you as crazy
Since, it ain't about what you know
Because it's not solely about your knowledge
It just goes to show you
It simply demonstrates to you
It's all about the show
It's primarily about the appearance
But my momma she told me
But my mother advised me
Don't worry about their love
Don't stress about their affection
Don't you go looking
Do not actively search
Trying to find someone
Attempting to discover a partner
To complete you
To fulfill you
'Cause you're already done
Because you are already whole
Today has a purpose
The present day holds significance
And it's not waiting on someone
And it doesn't rely on waiting for someone
Future this and future that
Concerns and thoughts about the future
When all we've got is now in fact
While the only thing we truly possess is the present
There are those in front of you
There are people ahead of you
That need your love more than you
Who require your love more than you can imagine
So why do I worry about my love
Hence, why do I concern myself with finding love
Why do I go searching trying to find someone
Why do I attempt to seek someone out
To complete me
To fulfill me
When I'm already done
When I am already whole
I'm done
I am finished
Waiting on someone
Anticipating someone's arrival
