Someone
Jason Kao Hwang / Edge Lyrics

The lyrics depict a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The singer describes a person who is repeatedly drinking alone, waiting for their partner who is often out at night. The repeated imagery of pouring another glass of wine suggests a coping mechanism for the loneliness and uncertainty they feel in the relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and sadness as the person comes to terms with the fact that their partner is loving someone new.

The chorus repeats the haunting realization that the partner is indeed loving someone else, emphasizing the pain of this revelation. The lines "Fourteen days ten nights you've been waiting on your own" highlight the prolonged agony of waiting for a partner who is emotionally distant, eventually leading to the realization that the love in the relationship has dried out. The singer expresses doubt that the partner was aware of their knowledge about the affair, but now they are fully aware of the betrayal.

The lyrics also touch on the confrontation between the singer and their partner, where they seem to have reached a breaking point. The line "Now you got him by the throat and you whisper" suggests a moment of intense confrontation and the decision to move on from the relationship. The singer acknowledges that it is time to let go, symbolizing a sense of empowerment and strength in the face of heartbreak.

The final verses introduce a new character who offers support and a listening ear to the singer. The singer acknowledges their own feelings for someone new, implying a sense of moving on and finding solace in the presence of another person. The song ends with a sense of resolution and acceptance, as the singer continues to wait for their partner, but now with a newfound understanding of the situation and a willingness to move forward.
