Someone
Jake Mirador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Overpriced and overdressed they′re all gonna be stars
I can feel the chemicals they're starting to set in
It′s time to turn the tables, try and save your skin
So know when it's over
You'll never be sober
Answer your phone
Leave me at home
To fall in love alone
City lights and noises calling to my lazy head
Walk around in circles cause I can′t leave your bed
You leave me hanging too long, I'm gonna start to drive
I′ve been hanging too long, I'm gonna start to drive
So know when it′s over
You'll never be sober
Answer your phone
I know you′re not alone
Leave me at home
To fall in love alone
I'll be alone
Throw a dog a bone
I need you alone
I don't care if you′re stoned
The song "Someone" by Jake Mirador is an introspective track that delves into the complexities of relationships and the emotional entanglements that arise from them. The first verse describes a scene in which the singer sees "pretty people" who are dressed extravagantly and are riding in a luxurious town car. These people are striving to be stars and are immersed in a world of chemical indulgence. The singer decides that it is time to "turn the tables" and preserve their own well-being in the midst of all the excess.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the idea that once the party ends, the individuals involved will never be sober. The singer tells their subject that even though they are not alone, they should answer their phone. The singer reveals that it is necessary to leave them at home to avoid falling in love alone. The second verse of the song talks about how the city lights and noises can be distracting to the singer, who is caught in a cycle of being unable to leave the bed of their companion. They are being left to hang for too long, and if it continues, they will "start to drive."
